Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Deskhand CRM for AI agents: key per agent, undo a run, email drafts. Start with one POST.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http deskhand https://deskhand.grain64.com/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deskhand": {
      "url": "https://deskhand.grain64.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "deskhand": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://deskhand.grain64.com/api/mcp",

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_contacts

    Find contacts by text (name, email, title), status, source, company or a custom field. Returns up to `limit` contacts and a next_cursor. Requires the read_crm scope.

  • upsert_contact

    Create a contact, or update the one that already has this email (matched case-insensitively). Custom `fields` and `tags` are merged into what is stored. A company is created or reused from company_domain or company_name. Requires the write_crm scope.

  • update_contact

    Change fields of an existing contact, found by id or email. Custom `fields` are merged with the existing ones. Requires the write_crm scope.

  • create_deal

    Open a deal, optionally linked to a contact (by id or email) and a company. Stages: lead, contacted, qualified, proposal, won, lost. The deal takes its contact's company unless company_id is given. Unknown arguments are rejected with unknown_field. Requires the write_crm scope.

  • move_deal

    Set a deal's stage (lead, contacted, qualified, proposal, won, lost). Requires the write_crm scope.

  • add_note

    Attach a note to a contact (by id or email) or to a deal. Requires the write_crm scope.

  • create_task

    Create a follow-up task or reminder with an optional due date, on a contact or a deal. Requires the manage_tasks scope.

  • list_due_tasks

    What is due now: overdue and due-today tasks first, then the next 7 days. Tasks on contacts who replied, unsubscribed or bounced are flagged follow_up_blocked: do not chase those. Requires manage_tasks or read_crm.

  • draft_email

    Draft one email to a contact. Drafts are auto-approved by default (the operator can switch approval on for the workspace or for you; then the draft waits in their Approvals inbox). Approved mail that cannot be sent to the recipient yet waits in the operator's To send list and the

  • list_email_status

    Status of this agent's emails: pending_approval (only when approval is on), approved (with a note when it waits in the manual To send hand-off), rejected (with reject_reason to learn from), sent, failed, cancelled. Each email carries warnings (open_draft_exists, emailed_N_days_ag

  • list_replies

    Replies captured from contacts, newest first. Requires the read_crm scope.

  • get_thread

    Sent mail and replies for one contact in time order. Requires the read_crm scope.

  • mark_replied

    Record that a contact replied (optionally with the reply text). Sets the contact to replied, cancels their pending drafts and open follow-up tasks, and stops further drafts to them. Requires the write_crm scope.

  • get_policy

    What the operator allows this agent: the workspace approval setting and, in plain words, what happens to your CRM writes and email drafts (apply or auto-approve at once, or wait for approval), this agent's mode (direct or propose), daily send caps and how many were used today, bl

  • create_campaign

    Create a campaign: an ordered sequence of email, wait and task steps run per contact, with follow-ups, stop rules (reply, bounce, unsubscribe and deal stage change stop a contact's sequence), a send window, caps and A/B variants. Pass steps inline, and optionally `enroll` to sele

  • update_campaign

    Change a campaign's settings and/or replace its ordered steps. Editing the steps of a running campaign needs the operator's approval when approval is on. Requires the manage_campaigns scope.

  • get_campaign

    One campaign with its steps, status, delivery mode (dry run or live) and counters.

  • list_campaigns

    Campaigns in this workspace with status, delivery mode and enrolled/sent/replied counters. Archived ones are hidden unless status=archived.

  • enroll_contacts

    Enroll contacts by ids, tag, source/list, status, text or custom fields. Suppressed, replied, unsubscribed, bounced, address-less and blocked-domain contacts are skipped with a reason, and a contact in another running campaign is skipped (or moved with on_conflict=move). dry_run=

  • simulate_campaign

    What would go out over the next N days: per contact and step, the send time (UTC and local), the fully rendered subject and body, and the status (will_send, skipped_missing_variable, skipped_condition, blocked_by_cap, task_created), plus problems and launch_blockers. Nothing is w

  • launch_campaign

    Start a draft campaign. Refused with launch_blockers (postal address, sender name, an email step, enrolled contacts, a verified identity) until they are fixed. With approval on, it returns 202 and waits for the operator to approve the launch once. Requires the manage_campaigns sc

  • pause_campaign

    Freeze a running campaign. Nothing is lost: resuming shifts every pending step by the length of the pause. Requires the manage_campaigns scope.

  • resume_campaign

    Resume a paused campaign. Requires the manage_campaigns scope.

  • stop_enrollment

    Stop a single enrollment (reason manual). Requires the manage_campaigns scope.

  • campaign_report

    Counts per campaign, per step and per variant: enrolled, active, completed, stopped (by reason), sent, sent_dry (dry-run records, nothing delivered), skipped (by reason), replied, bounced, unsubscribed, meetings, deals_created. Rates say which count they divide by.

  • get_outbox

    For a campaign that sends through your own sender (relay identity): the operator-approved messages you may send now, each with its exact text, recipient, step and evidence link, plus batch_id and batch_hash. Send the text byte for byte, then call report_send for every message. 40

  • report_send

    Report one outbox message: sent (final: the person moves to the next step; reporting sent twice is fine, a different second report is 409 already_reported), refused_cap, refused_unsigned or failed_transient (the message stays in To send and gives its cap unit back), refused_suppr

  • list_sending_identities

    The identities a campaign can send through: the built-in dry_run identity and any the operator connected (their keys are never shown), with their delivery state.

  • add_suppression

    Never email this address or domain again, in any campaign. Open enrollments of matching contacts stop. Removing an entry needs the operator. Requires the manage_campaigns scope.

  • list_suppressions

    Addresses and domains that are never emailed.

Common questions

Is Deskhand safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.2) reached the registry 5 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
