Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Query Method CRM customers, leads, activities and invoices; create and update records.

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

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 16 things (tools) method_get_account, method_list_tables, method_get_table_fields, method_query_records …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

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.

  • method_get_account

    Who the API key acts as: the Method user behind it (id and name; use the id as an assignee). Also a cheap check that the key works. GET /api/v1/me.

  • method_list_tables

    List every table on this Method account (standard QuickBooks/Xero/Method tables and custom ones) with its source and whether it can be created, updated or deleted. Tables differ per account: call this before querying a table you are unsure of. GET /api/v1/tables.

  • method_get_table_fields

    The exact field names of a table with type, whether required, creatable and mutable, and for dropdowns the table they reference. Use it to pick `select` fields and to name fields in create/update calls (names are case-sensitive and wrong ones are silently ignored). GET /api/v1/ta

  • method_query_records

    Query any table (Customer, Contacts, Activity, Invoice, Estimate, Item, Users, custom tables ...). Always pass `select`. `filter` uses OData-style syntax: strings in single quotes, dates as '2026-05-26T00:00:00Z' with Z or an offset, operators eq ne lt gt le ge and or not, functi

  • method_count_records

    How many records a table has, optionally matching a filter (same filter syntax as method_query_records). Cheap: call it before paging through a big table. GET /api/v1/tables/{table}/count.

  • method_get_record

    One record by RecordID from any table. Pass `select` to limit the columns; `expand` names a related CHILD table whose rows are embedded (e.g. InvoiceLine on Invoice; at most 50 rows); a parent such as a contact's Entity is not expanded: read it with its own RecordID (Entity_Recor

  • method_search_customers

    Find customers and leads (the Customer table: Customers & Leads in Method) by text in the name or email, by lead/customer type, or list them all. Returns RecordID, name, email, phone, lead flag and status; override `select` for other fields (see method_get_table_fields with table

  • method_list_contacts

    List contacts (people), optionally those of one customer/lead entity (entity_id = the Customer's RecordID) or matching text in name/email/phone. Returns RecordID, name, email, phone, the entity link and active flag. Use a Contact's RecordID (not the Customer's) when linking activ

  • method_list_activities

    List activities (calls, emails, to-dos, notes), newest first. Filter by the entity they belong to, the assigned user or a due-date window. The note text is in Comments. Override `select` for other fields (method_get_table_fields with table Activity). GET /api/v1/tables/Activity.

  • method_list_invoices

    List invoices, newest first, optionally only unpaid ones (BalanceRemaining > 0), one customer's (customer_id = Customer RecordID) or created since a time. Returns reference number, customer, dates, amount and balance; override `select` for other fields. For totals use method_quer

  • method_list_files

    List the files attached to a record (name, size, who added it, id). Use the id with method_get_file_url. GET /api/v1/files.

  • method_get_file_url

    A temporary download link (valid 20 minutes) for an attached file, by the file id from method_list_files. The link works without the API key: share it only with someone allowed to see the file. GET /api/v1/files/{id}/url.

  • method_create_customer

    WRITE: creates a record in Method's Customer table. is_lead true = a Customer Lead (does not sync to the accounting system); is_lead false = a full customer, which Method syncs to QuickBooks/Xero (it appears there too). Method also creates the primary Contact; its RecordID is ret

  • method_create_activity

    WRITE: logs an activity (call, email, to-do, note) on a customer/lead. entity_id is the Customer RecordID; contact_id is the Contact RecordID (not the Customer's; method_list_contacts finds it). The text goes in Comments. Prefer activity_type_id (read it from an existing activity

  • method_create_record

    WRITE: creates a record in any table that allows it (method_list_tables shows canCreate), e.g. Estimate, Invoice, Item, Vendor. For customers/leads and activities use the dedicated tools. Field names are case-sensitive and a wrong one is silently ignored: read them with method_ge

  • method_update_record

    WRITE: changes fields on one record (PATCH: only the fields you pass change). Field names are case-sensitive and Method silently ignores wrong or read-only names, so the reply re-reads the record and shows the stored values of the fields you sent: check them. Linked fields are ch

Common questions

Is Method CRM MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.16.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer
