AI-native CRM
The CRM built for AI agents
Kantos is an AI-native CRM with a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect Claude or any MCP client and your agents can read, create, and update records, run automations, and work your pipeline in plain language — securely, with OAuth and full audit logs.
How it works
Connect once
Point your MCP client (for example, Claude Desktop) at the Kantos server and authorize with OAuth. It takes about a minute and no integration code.
Delegate the busywork
Ask your agent to triage new leads, update statuses, draft follow-ups, or pull a pipeline summary — in plain language, grounded in your real records.
Stay in control
Review exactly what agents did in the audit log, scope what each key can touch, and require human approval before sensitive writes or sends.
Built for agents, governed for humans
60+ agent tools
Agents can list, search, create, update, and delete records, manage objects and fields, fire automations, and send email — the same primitives the Kantos app runs on.
Governed access
OAuth 2.1 authorization, org-scoped permissions, rate limits, full audit logs, and optional human-in-the-loop approval before an agent writes or sends.
Your schema, automatically
Define a custom object — Property, Patient, Kit, anything — and it is instantly available to your agents. No new connector to build for each object type.
Standards-based, not locked in
One MCP server works across MCP clients, alongside a full REST API and webhooks. Own your data with complete export — no vendor lock-in.
What you can delegate to an agent
- Triage and enrich inbound leads, then route them to the right pipeline.
- Update deal stages and log activity from a chat instead of a form.
- Draft and send follow-up emails grounded in each record’s history.
- Answer "what changed across the pipeline this week?" without building a report.
- Keep records in sync with your warehouse, billing, or product database.

Frequently asked questions
What is a CRM for AI agents?
A CRM for AI agents is a customer database that AI assistants can operate directly — reading and writing records, running automations, and answering questions — instead of a human clicking through screens. Kantos exposes its data through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so agents like Claude can work your pipeline in natural language.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open standard, introduced by Anthropic in 2024, that lets AI agents call external tools through one common interface — often described as the "USB-C of AI integrations." Kantos ships a hosted MCP server with 60+ typed tools, so any MCP-compatible client connects without custom code.
Which AI agents and assistants work with Kantos?
Any MCP-compatible client — including Claude (Desktop, Code, and claude.ai) and other tools that speak the protocol. Because the integration is standards-based, the same Kantos MCP server works across agents without rebuilding connectors for each one.
Is it safe to give an AI agent access to my CRM?
Yes. Agents authorize through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, access is scoped and isolated per organization, every call is rate-limited and written to a per-key audit log, and sensitive write actions can require human approval. You can revoke an agent’s access at any time.
Do I need to be a developer to use it?
No. Connecting an agent is a one-time OAuth authorization — point your MCP client at Kantos and approve access. Developers who want more also get a full REST API and webhooks to build custom integrations.
How is this different from HubSpot or Salesforce AI?
Kantos is AI-native rather than AI-added: the agent interface, a fully customizable data model, and your own automations are core to the platform instead of a premium add-on. You own and can export your data, pricing is transparent, and any custom object you create is automatically available to your agents.
