Connect Debreu to Your AI Assistant
Access your pipeline — companies, deals, contacts, emails, meetings, and tasks — directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.
Before You Start
1. Get your API key
Log into Debreu, click your profile icon in the top-right corner to open Account Settings, then go to the API Keys tab and click Generate New Key. Copy the key (it starts with dbr_) — you'll need it in the next steps.
2. Install Node.js (required for most methods)
Download from nodejs.org (version 18 or newer). After installing, open a terminal and verify:
node --version
npm --versionIf both print version numbers, you're good to go.
Setup Guide
Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line AI tool that runs in your terminal. This is the fastest way to get started.
1 Install Claude Code
If you don't have Claude Code installed yet, install it via Homebrew or npm:
brew install claudeor
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-codeThe npm method requires Node.js 18+. The Homebrew method does not.
2 Quit Claude Code if it's running
Close any running claude sessions in your terminal. The MCP server won't be picked up until Claude Code restarts.
3 Add the Debreu MCP server
Run this command in your terminal. Replace your_api_key_here with the API key from your Account Settings.
claude mcp add -e DEBREU_API_KEY=your_api_key_here -s user debreu -- npx -y debreu-mcp4 Start Claude Code
claude5 Verify it's working
- ✓Type
/mcpin the Claude Code prompt — you should see debreu listed as a connected server - ✓Try asking: "What's on my calendar today?" — if it calls a Debreu tool, you're all set
Troubleshooting
"command not found: claude"
Install Claude Code via brew install claude or npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
"command not found: npx"
Install Node.js from nodejs.org (version 18 or newer). npx comes bundled with it.
Tools not showing up after adding
Make sure you fully quit and restarted Claude Code. MCP servers only load on startup.
API key errors
Click your profile icon (top-right) → Account Settings → API Keys to verify your key. It should start with dbr_.
New MCP version not loading
Restart Claude Code. npx -y caches the package for the duration of the session.
