Manage Leads and Accounts via MCP Server

Need to model a lead conversion workflow? The `zoho_convert_lead` tool is what you want. When you call it, the data goes through the standard sales qualification process: the lead leaves the Leads module and gets fully structured into Contact, Account, and Deal records. In your code, you can write logic that triggers this conversion flow using the MCP Server, making sure your application always handles the full lifecycle of a prospect.

Search Company Details with Zoho CRM Contacts

To get company context in your script, use `zoho_get_account`. You provide an Account ID and instantly receive all associated data fields: industry, annual revenue, employee counts, and billing details. This live API response is perfect for populating objects. If you're building a report that needs to know who works at the company, run `zoho_related_records`. It traces connections—for example, pulling all Contacts linked back to an Account ID.

Search and Update Contact Records

You can find people quickly using `zoho_search_contacts`, searching by name or email. The MCP Server returns the contact's full details, including their associated account and owner. This live data feeds directly into your code. If you find an outdated piece of information—say, a wrong department title—the `zoho_update_contact` tool lets you change just that specific field on the existing record.
