Talk to your CRM's AI agent from Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients β read records, send email, create reminders, draft outreach, all gated by approvals.
@coherenceos/mcp-server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Coherence as tools for Claude, Cursor, Cline, and other MCP-compatible clients.
The headline: chat_with_agent β send a message to your Coherence agent (Nash) from Claude Desktop and it can draft emails, create reminders, update records, post to social, create landing pages, and more, all under your workspace's approval rules.

Environment variables
Variable Required Default Description
COHERENCE_API_TOKEN Yes β API key (sk_live_β¦) from your Coherence workspace
COHERENCE_API_URL No https://api.getcoherence.io/v1 API base URL
Scopes
When you create an API key in Coherence you can pick scopes. If you tick none, the key inherits your full user permissions (the default). If you tick some, the key is restricted to those:
-
records:read,records:writeβ module records -
collab:read,collab:writeβ Collab documents -
agents:read,agents:writeβ agents andchat_with_agent -
workspace:readβ modules, fields, workspace metadata
Approval gates (sendEmail, postToSocial, etc.) are enforced inside the Coherence platform regardless of which scopes a key holds β an API key cannot bypass them.

Quickstart
1. Create an API key
In Coherence, go to Settings β API Keys β Create new key. Copy the sk_live_β¦ value β it's only shown once. The Coherence UI will hand you a ready-to-paste JSON snippet that you can drop straight into your MCP client config.
2. Add to your MCP client
Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"coherence": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@coherenceos/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"COHERENCE_API_URL": "https://api.getcoherence.io/v1",
"COHERENCE_API_TOKEN": "sk_live_..."
}
}
}
}
Cursor / Cline / Continue / Windsurf: same JSON, dropped into each tool's MCP settings file.
3. Talk to your workspace
Restart your MCP client, then try:
"Ask my Coherence agent to draft a follow-up email to the leads I created this week."
"List my open deals over $50k."
"Create a contact for Jane Doe at Acme Corp, then remind me to follow up next Tuesday."
