[See setup guidance ↓](#setup)[Original source ↗](https://docs.attio.com/mcp/overview) SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-10-13 Evidence 2 linked sources Publisher Attio Licence Not established [Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓](#review) “Attio MCP is Attio's hosted MCP server that gives AI tools secure access to your Attio workspace.” [Attio · upstream description ↗](https://docs.attio.com/mcp/overview) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - The publisher hosts the server itself at mcp.attio.com, where every community Attio server found in discovery requires a local process and an API key. - The permission model mirrors the Attio account and gates the write path: read operations are auto-approved while write operations request confirmation, so the read-only versus write boundary is enforced by the server, not the prompt. ### A good fit for - Looking up contacts at target companies, finding decision makers and logging call notes from conversation. - Managing follow-up tasks and pipeline searches — by stage, funding round, role or location — without leaving the assistant. ### Weigh up before choosing - Operates only within the connected workspace and only with the permissions of the signed-in Attio user. - Write operations pause for confirmation, so fully unattended automation is not the intended mode. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - Attio MCP documentation overview: the server is hosted by Attio at https://mcp.attio.com/mcp; OAuth authenticates as the Attio user; read operations are auto-approved while write operations request confirmation; tool families cover records and objects, notes, tasks, deals and meeting intelligence over call recordings and transcripts. - Attio MCP app page: prerequisites are an active workspace and an MCP-compatible client; setup is one-click connectors for Claude and ChatGPT or a custom connector URL for other clients. - The documentation's data access boundaries: the server operates only within the workspace, shares the user's permissions, shares nothing externally unless configured, and all operations are logged and auditable. ### Our findings - The server is hosted; no official server source repository exists, so repository and revision are null per the hosted-server precedent. - Meeting intelligence — searching call recordings, transcripts and meeting notes — is the surface no community Attio server matched. - Correction, 2026-10-13: the overview page prints the URL https://mcp.attio.com/mcp but no JSON client block, so the earlier configExample, which no cited page printed, was removed. - Write tools listed on the overview include delete-task, delete-comment (comments the user created), merge-records and update-list, which can change a list’s permissions. ### Not established by this review - No workspace was connected and no record, note or task operation was executed. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Connect a server deliberately. [Upstream setup instructions ↗](https://docs.attio.com/mcp/overview) - In Claude Desktop or Claude.ai, open Settings > Connectors, browse connectors, search for Attio and install. - In ChatGPT, open Apps, search for Attio and connect. - For other clients, add https://mcp.attio.com/mcp as a remote MCP server and complete the OAuth sign-in. ### Before you start - An active Attio workspace. - An MCP-compatible AI client. ### Compatibility Claude Desktop and Claude.ai via the connector marketplace (search Attio); ChatGPT via Apps. · Other MCP clients add https://mcp.attio.com/mcp as a remote server and complete OAuth. ### Transports Streamable HTTP ### Attio OAuth - Authenticates as the signed-in Attio user with exactly that user's workspace permissions. - Reads are auto-approved; writes request confirmation. All operations are logged and auditable. - Write tools can delete tasks and the user’s own comments, merge duplicate records and change a list’s permissions. ### Cost model Requires an Attio workspace; no separate MCP pricing is documented. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail. Our notes are separate from the original resource.
