# Connect nanoclaw to LotsCRM

Canonical page: https://lotscrm.com/agents/nanoclaw
Steps checked: 2026-10-01

Ask nanoclaw to add leads, log your conversations, move deals and line up follow-ups in LotsCRM. Add LotsCRM to nanoclaw as a remote MCP server with an API key.

MCP server URL: https://api.lotscrm.com/mcp
REST API docs: https://api.lotscrm.com/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lotscrm.com/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Add and update contacts and companies, and import up to 100 prospects at a time.
- Create deals on your pipelines and move them between stages, with a reason when one is lost.
- Log calls, meetings, emails, messages and notes after they happen.
- Set, reschedule and complete follow-ups, and see what is due or overdue.
- Search contacts, companies and deals, and read the CRM briefing, a pre-call deal brief or a pipeline summary.
- Draft a follow-up from your CRM history, then log it once you send it with the tools you already use.

The LotsCRM dashboard does the whole job too: contacts, companies, the pipeline, follow-ups in your Today view and team access. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## You need

- A current nanoclaw installation with remote HTTP MCP support
- Administrator access to its group configuration and credential gateway
- A LotsCRM API key
- A LotsCRM account. You can create one during sign-in.

## Connect nanoclaw to LotsCRM

1. **Add the server to your agent’s group.** On the host, merge this entry into mcpServers in groups/<group-folder>/container.json. Keep the group’s existing configuration. nanoclaw mounts this file into the agent container at startup.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lots-crm": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.lotscrm.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. **Configure the credential gateway.** Create a LotsCRM API key at https://www.lotstech.com/api. Store it in your installation’s credential gateway, scoped to api.lotscrm.com, and configure the Authorization header as Bearer followed by the key. Allow the agent’s group to use that connection; keep the real key out of container.json.

3. **Start a new agent session.** Restart the affected agent session so it loads the server. Ask nanoclaw “List my LotsCRM workspaces” before changing anything.

## What to ask next

- “Add these 20 people from today’s event and tag them “Oct meetup”.”
- “Log my call with Priya and move her deal to Proposal.”
- “What follow-ups are due today?”
- “Brief me on the Acme deal before my call.”

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect nanoclaw to LotsCRM?

Follow the nanoclaw setup above to add https://api.lotscrm.com/mcp. Configure your LotsCRM API key using the credential settings shown. Then ask “List my LotsCRM workspaces”.

### Is nanoclaw the same installation as OpenClaw?

No. They are separate projects and runtimes. Follow nanoclaw’s group configuration and credential-gateway steps above; OpenClaw has its own MCP setup.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsCRM with nanoclaw?

Yes. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where nanoclaw offers sign-in, use that instead.

### What does LotsCRM cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lotscrm.com/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Does LotsCRM send emails or messages?

LotsCRM is the record of your sales work. Your agent drafts and sends messages with the tools you already use, then logs each one in LotsCRM, so every conversation sits on the right contact and deal. Follow-ups you schedule appear in your Today view.

### What can my agent do in my workspace?

Your agent acts as you, so it can do exactly what your workspace role allows. Owners can do everything and viewers can only read.

### Can my agent delete CRM records?

Your agent archives contacts, companies and deals. Archiving is recoverable and keeps the history, and there is no hard delete through MCP.

### Can one agent work across several clients?

Yes. Each workspace is a separate sales book, one per business or client. Your agent lists your workspaces, picks the one you mean and keeps its records apart from the others.

### The server is configured but requests are blocked

Check your credential gateway’s connection, group grant and network policy for api.lotscrm.com. The remote MCP entry alone does not authorize network access or supply credentials.
