Let Cascade Handle CRM Entry

The `create_hubspot_lead` tool connects your code editor directly to your CRM. You drop a block of text or a chat transcript into Windsurf. Cascade reads the context, figures out who the person is, and grabs their contact details. You never have to switch tabs. Cascade maps the data to the right fields and fires it off to HubSpot. It handles the API call in the background and shows you the result right in the IDE.

Extract Messy Contact Info

People rarely send perfectly formatted contact cards. They drop a name, a messy email address, and a vague company mention in a slack paste. This MCP server parses that garbage text into structured JSON. It guarantees the required email field gets filled. If the user included a phone number or a last name, the tool catches those too. You get clean CRM records without doing the manual copy-paste routine.

Connect the HubSpot Lead Creator MCP Server

Setup takes thirty seconds. You open the Windsurf MCP Marketplace and hit install, or just edit your local config file. Once connected, Cascade auto-discovers the integration. From then on, every time you mention a new prospect in the chat, Windsurf can push them to your sales pipeline. It turns a standard development environment into a lead capture engine.

Common questions about HubSpot Lead Creator MCP in Windsurf

Open the MCP Servers UI under Settings, or edit your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file. You can also use the built-in marketplace for a one-click install.

No. This server strictly creates new contacts. It uses the `create_hubspot_lead` tool, which lacks read or update permissions for your existing CRM database.

Cascade operates as an autonomous agent. If you tell it to process a list of leads, it will chain the actions and push them all to HubSpot without asking for permission on every single one.

An email address is mandatory. You can also pass a first name, last name, phone number, and company name.

Your payload only touches the HubSpot API endpoint. The names, emails, and phone numbers you pass through the tool go straight to your CRM over an encrypted connection. Vinkius runs the server in an ephemeral, zero-trust V8 isolate sandbox that wipes itself clean after execution.
