Read Nimble Data in Claude Desktop

The `list_contacts` tool pulls your active CRM records directly into your chat context. You ask Claude to find specific leads based on recent activity, and it queries the Nimble API to return the raw data. Once the list loads, you can drill down. Calling `get_contact` fetches the exact social profiles, email history, and metadata attached to a specific person. You don't have to switch tabs to check if a prospect replied.

Execute Pipeline Cleanups via MCP Server

This MCP Server gives your agent the `delete_contacts` tool to permanently remove outdated records. You define the parameters for stale leads, and Claude executes the batch removal. Deletion operations require exact IDs. Your AI client will typically run a list query first to verify the targets, then issue the delete command to keep your CRM database strictly under its storage limits.

Validate Current User Context

The `get_myself` tool confirms exactly which Nimble account is currently authenticated. This prevents accidental modifications to the wrong workspace if you manage multiple environments. Claude uses this endpoint to check its permissions before attempting destructive actions. It acts as a fast connection test that proves the API token is valid and active.
