【MCP Server】Pipedrive × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.

In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for Pipedrive, configuring the connection to Pipedrive, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.

Overview

Here's a quick overview of the steps:

1. Download and install the CData MCP Server for Pipedrive
2. Configure the connection to Pipedrive
3. Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop

Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server

1. To begin, navigate to https://www.cdata.com/solutions/mcp/connectors and download the CData MCP Server for Pipedrive.
2. Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to Pipedrive.

Step 2: Configure the connection to Pipedrive

1. After installation, the CData MCP Server configuration wizard should open automatically.

   NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData MCP Server" in the Windows search bar and double-click the application.

2. Click the dropdown menu in MCP Configuration > Configuration Name and select ""
3. Name the configuration (e.g. "cdatapipedrive") and click "OK."

   NOTE: This name is used as the name for the MCP server and as the prefix for all of the MCP Server's tools.

   

4. Connecting to Pipedrive

   Pipedrive 接続プロパティの取得・設定方法

   Pipedrive には、接続および認証する2つの方法があります。Basic およびOAuth です。

   Basic 認証

   Basic 認証で認証するには：
   1. API トークンを取得します。
      1. Pipedrive ポータルを開きます。
      2. ページ右上のアカウント名をクリックします。Pipedrive はドロップダウンリストを表示します。
      3. 会社設定 -> Personal Preferences -> API -> Generate Token に移動します。
      4. 生成されたAPI トークンの値を記録します。また、CompanyDomain を控えておきます。これは、PipeDrive ホームページのURL に表示されます。（これは会社の開発者用サンドボックスのURL です。）
   2. 次の接続プロパティを設定します。
      • APIToken：取得したAPI トークンの値。
      • CompanyDomain：開発者サンドボックスURL のCompanyDomain。
      • AuthScheme：Basic。
   3. 承認されたユーザー名とパスワードでログインします。

   API トークンはPipedrive ポータルに保存されます。これを取得するには、会社名をクリックし、ドロップダウンリストを使用して会社設定 -> Personal Preferences -> API に移動します。

   OAuth 認証

   ユーザー名やパスワードへのアクセスを保有していない場合や、それらを使いたくない場合にはOAuth ユーザー同意フローを使用します。認証方法については、ヘルプドキュメントの「OAuth 認証」セクションを参照してください。

   Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.

   
5. Click "Connect" to authenticate with Pipedrive.
6. Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.

   NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.

With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.

Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live Pipedrive のデータ

Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with Pipedrive のデータ in Claude Desktop.

1. Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).

   You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.

2. Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the Pipedrive のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"

   NOTE: Claude may need to explore the Pipedrive のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
