Salesmate Mcp — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Salesmate Mcp (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes the Salesmate CRM to Claude Desktop (and any other MCP client). Built with FastMCP, HTTPX, Pydantic, and python-dotenv.
It lets Claude search contacts, inspect and update deals, create tasks and notes, and review recent activity — all through clean, typed, validated tools.
There are two ways to install. Pick one.
.mcpb, no terminal)The cleanest end-user experience. Anyone can install with no clone, no virtualenv, no JSON editing - just a click and a form.
.mcpb bundle for your platform from the project'sGitHub Releases page (or build it yourself - see below).
and pick the .mcpb file.
https://yourcompany.salesmate.io.salesmate tools appear in the tool picker.Use the Session Key. Salesmate shows three keys - Access Key, Secret Key, and Session Key (Setup -> Integrations -> API & Webhooks). The v4 API used here authenticates with the Session Key; the other two return AuthorizationFailed.#### Build the bundle yourself
The .mcpb is platform-specific (Python wheels contain compiled binaries), so build it on the OS you'll install it on:
git clone https://github.com/arnav-chauhan-kgpian/salesmate-mcp.git
cd salesmate-mcp
python -m venv .venv
# Windows: .\.venv\Scripts\activate macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
python build_mcpb.py
# Output: dist/salesmate-mcp-<platform>-py<ver>.mcpbThen install the resulting .mcpb as in step 2 above.
A new user with no copy of the code connects in four steps:
# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/arnav-chauhan-kgpian/salesmate-mcp.git
cd salesmate-mcp
# 2. Create a virtualenv and install
python -m venv .venv
# Windows: .\.venv\Scripts\activate macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
# 3. Connect to Claude Desktop (writes .env + Claude config, verifies live)
python setup_salesmate.py --verify
# 4. Fully quit and reopen Claude DesktopThis repository ships no credentials. Every user supplies their own Salesmate keys once. The setup_salesmate.py script will prompt for them and write them into a local `.env` file (which is git-ignored and never committed):
SALESMATE_API_KEY=<your Salesmate SESSION KEY>
SALESMATE_BASE_URL=https://yourcompany.salesmate.ioYou can also create this .env by hand (copy .env.example to .env and fill it in) instead of letting the script prompt you — then run python setup_salesmate.py --no-input --verify.
Use the Session Key. Salesmate shows three keys — Access Key, Secret Key, and Session Key (Setup → Integrations → API & Webhooks). The v4 API used here authenticates with the Session Key; the other two return AuthorizationFailed.The setup script:
.env)..env.salesmate server in your Claude Desktop config — preservingany servers you already have, with a .bak backup. No secrets are written into the Claude config; the server reads them from your .env.
--verify, runs a live read-only check so you know it works beforeopening Claude.
Non-interactive form (e.g. for scripted installs):

| Tool | Signature | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
search_contacts | (query: str) | Search contacts by name, email or company. | |
get_contact | (contact_id: int) | Fetch a contact's full details. | |
list_deals | `(contact_id: int \ | None)` | List deals, optionally for one contact. |
get_deal | (deal_id: int) | Fetch a deal's full details. | |
update_deal_stage | (deal_id: int, stage: str) | Move a deal to a new stage. | |
create_task | `(title: str, due_date: str, contact_id: int \ | None)` | Create a task. |
create_note | (contact_id: int, note: str) | Attach a note to a contact. | |
get_recent_activities | (contact_id: int) | Recent activities for a contact. |
Every tool returns a JSON object. On success the payload contains "ok": true plus the requested data; on failure it contains "error": true with a type and message (and status_code for API errors).

pytestThe suite uses pytest-asyncio and an in-memory httpx.MockTransport, so it runs fully offline and never touches the real Salesmate API.
Salesmate exposes several API versions and the exact endpoint paths and search payloads can differ between workspaces. All endpoint paths are centralised in salesmate/client.py in the ENDPOINTS dictionary, and the request bodies for search operations are small and self-contained — adjust them there if your workspace expects a different shape. The auth header name can be changed without code edits via SALESMATE_AUTH_HEADER.
