Verdicts

Streak API + MCP

MCP server is OAuth only and revocable from account settings. MCP tool list and count not published.

SugarAI (SugarCRM)

The REST reference covers 350 endpoint pages with filters, field selection, bulk calls and upsert by sync_key. SugarAI's AI Supplemental Terms forbid connecting a customer's or third party's AI agent or MCP connector to the APIs unless Sugar has approved it, tokens carry no scopes, and no OpenAPI file, trial or SLA was found.

Before you call either

Streak API + MCP

  1. Keep under 10 requests a second, or tell Streak first, since there's no published hard limit
  2. Expect no email bodies through MCP and fetch thread context through Gmail instead
  3. Send the API key as the Basic auth username with an empty password
  4. Check the plan before relying on webhooks, which start at Pro+
  5. Handle a 410 as an API version that's no longer supported

SugarAI (SugarCRM)

  1. Confirm that Sugar has approved the agent integration before connecting. The AI Supplemental Terms forbid unapproved AI agents and MCP connectors on the APIs
  2. POST to /rest/v11_27/oauth2/token with grant_type password and a platform other than base, mobile or portal, or the login can end the user's own session
  3. Send the access token in the OAuth-Token header. It lasts 60 minutes by default, so store the refresh token and not the password
  4. Stay under 20 requests a second on SugarCloud and reuse one session for batches. Over-limit traffic is blocked by IP address until support lifts it
  5. Page with max_num and offset until next_offset is -1, and pass fields to keep responses small
  6. Use PATCH /integrate/:module/:sync_key_field_name/:sync_key_field_value for writes that may be retried, since it inserts or updates by sync_key
