🔗 BoostU Teamleader MCP

The open-source Teamleader Focus MCP server. Manage your CRM from Claude and other AI assistants, in plain language. 🤖

[CI] [npm version] [npm downloads] [node] [Model Context Protocol] [tools] [License: MIT] [Made by BoostU]

💡 What is this?

boostu-teamleader-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Teamleader Focus API to AI assistants — including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. It provides over 100 tools spanning the full Teamleader Focus surface: CRM (contacts, companies, deals), sales documents (quotations, invoices, credit notes), product catalog, subscriptions, projects, time tracking, customer-service tickets, and more. Point your AI at it and manage your entire CRM through natural language.

Prefer not to self-host?

Use the managed, always-on edition at teamleader-mcp.boostu.be — no OAuth setup, magic-link login, and a one-click connector for Claude. Free during the preview, paid plans after.

This repository is the open-source MCP server itself: run it locally with your own Teamleader integration. The hosted edition adds multi-tenant authentication, a dashboard, usage insights, and managed token handling on top of the same server.

🔌 How it works

flowchart LR    U["🧑 You"] -->|"plain language"| C["🤖 Claude / AI assistant"]    C <-->|"MCP · stdio"| S["🔗 boostu-teamleader-mcp"]    S <-->|"OAuth2 REST"| T["📇 Teamleader Focus API"]

You ask Claude in plain language. Claude calls this MCP server, which authenticates to Teamleader Focus over OAuth2 and runs the matching API call. Your data stays in Teamleader; this server only brokers the calls.

🚀 Quick Start

Run without installing

npx boostu-teamleader-mcp

Global install

npm i -g boostu-teamleader-mcpboostu-teamleader-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{  "mcpServers": {    "teamleader": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "boostu-teamleader-mcp"],      "env": {        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",        "TEAMLEADER_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token"      }    }  }}

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json or ~/.claude/mcp.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "teamleader": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "boostu-teamleader-mcp"],      "env": {        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",        "TEAMLEADER_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token"      }    }  }}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or the global ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{  "mcpServers": {    "teamleader": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "boostu-teamleader-mcp"],      "env": {        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",        "TEAMLEADER_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token"      }    }  }}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{  "mcpServers": {    "teamleader": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "boostu-teamleader-mcp"],      "env": {        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",        "TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret",        "TEAMLEADER_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token"      }    }  }}

🔐 Authentication

You need three env vars: TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_ID, TEAMLEADER_CLIENT_SECRET, and TEAMLEADER_REFRESH_TOKEN. Obtain them by registering an integration in the Teamleader Marketplace / Developer portal and completing the OAuth2 authorization flow.

Teamleader rotates the refresh token on every API call. Set TEAMLEADER_TOKEN_STORE to a writable file path so the server can persist the latest token between restarts — without it the token in your config will go stale after the first restart.

For the full step-by-step walkthrough (authorize URL, code exchange, helper scripts) see docs/AUTHENTICATION.md.

⚙️ Configuration

Selective tool groups

Use TEAMLEADER_TOOLS to limit which tool groups are registered. This is useful when you want to keep the assistant's tool list small or restrict access to certain areas of Teamleader.

💬 Example Prompts

Create a quotation for deal <id> with two line items: 5 hours of consulting at €150/h and a one-time setup fee of €500.

Move the valid-until date of quotation <id> to the end of next month, then email the customer a reminder in Dutch with the signing link.

Book the draft invoice <id> into accounting and then send it to the customer.

Register a €1 200 payment against invoice <id> received today via bank transfer.

Log 2.5 hours on project <id> for user <user_id> with the note "API integration work".

Start a timer for me right now — I'm working on the BoostU onboarding project.

Open a support ticket for company <id>: subject "Login not working", priority high.

What deal phase IDs do we have in pipeline <id>? I need to move deal <id> to the "Proposal sent" phase.

List all products in the "Hosting" category and their prices.

Create a monthly subscription for company <id>: product <product_id>, quantity 1, starting next month.

Show me all open deals with their current phases and tell me which ones haven't moved in the last 30 days.

🏗️ Architecture

The core of the server is createServer in src/server.ts, which is transport-agnostic — it takes a TeamleaderClient and registers the enabled tool groups, returning a plain McpServer instance that the entry point (src/index.ts) wires to a StdioServerTransport. Tool logic lives in per-domain modules under src/tools/, each following a consistent try / respond / catch / respondError pattern using shared helpers in src/lib/. OAuth2 token acquisition and rotation are handled entirely in src/api/auth.ts, transparent to the rest of the codebase. A hosted, multi-tenant edition of this server is available at teamleader-mcp.boostu.be.

✅ Endpoint Verification

Most read endpoints (*.list, *.info) have been live-verified against the Teamleader Focus API. Several write and action endpoints (e.g. subscriptions.create, projects.create, files.upload) are implemented from the official documentation but have not been tested against a live account with the relevant module active. If an endpoint name is wrong, the call will fail with a clear HTTP error message rather than silently misbehaving. The full endpoint manifest and verification status are documented in docs/teamleader-endpoints.md.
