HubSpot MCP: No-Code SetupPorter Metrics connects HubSpot to Claude and ChatGPT through one MCP server, so you can ask about pipeline, contacts and marketing emails, then change records after you approve. Porter reads and writes through HubSpot’s official API, and it puts your Meta Ads and Google Ads spend next to the deals they produced.
One MCP server: Porter connects HubSpot to the AI clients, fields, metrics, dimensions and workflows marketers already use. You paste one server URL, sign in to HubSpot once, and every client you add reads the same 508 fields. The same server also reaches the other sources listed in all MCP connectors.
Only one AI app?
Objects: contacts · companies · deals · tickets · pipelines · owners · properties · marketing emails
Rule of thumb: ask about one CRM object per question, and dates follow each record’s create date. Every field is defined in the HubSpot field definitions.
Pipeline: Total deals · Deal amount · Deal amount won · Average value of deals won · Deal closed won · Deal closed lost
Contacts: Total contacts
Email: Marketing email sent · Marketing email open · Marketing email click · Marketing email bounce · Marketing email contacts lost
Deal: Deal pipeline · Deal stage · Deal owner · Deal closed lost reason · Deal last activity date
Contact: Contact lifecycle stage · Contact original source · Contact became a customer date
Email: Marketing email name
Time: create date by day, week, month or quarter
The same HubSpot connection also sends data to Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio), BigQuery and Google Sheets, at no extra cost.
Start from the free HubSpot dashboard templates.
Porter’s HubSpot connection starts with reads and asks before every change. You sign in with HubSpot, Claude sees only what your HubSpot user can see, and a delete sends the record to HubSpot’s recycling bin instead of erasing it. Reporting and record changes stay separate, so a pipeline question never edits a deal.
Read-only first: ask about deals, contacts and emails without writing anything back to HubSpot. Reporting runs apart from record changes.
Unlimited reporting queries: ask as many pipeline questions as you need. Porter works within HubSpot’s API limit of 110 requests every 10 seconds per account, so you never manage it yourself.
Approved HubSpot login: connect with HubSpot sign-in from the Porter dashboard. You never create a private app or paste an access token.
Your permissions carry over: Porter acts as the HubSpot user who connected. A rep who can’t see a pipeline in HubSpot can’t see it in Claude either.
Changes after you approve: Claude shows the update, note or new record first. Nothing reaches HubSpot until you say yes.
Deletes are reversible: Porter flags a delete as permanent and asks you to confirm it. HubSpot keeps the record in its recycling bin, and HubSpot’s guide to restoring deleted records within 90 days shows how to bring it back.
Official API: Porter works through HubSpot’s CRM API, never a browser session clicking through your portal.
Revoke access: disconnect HubSpot from your Porter account whenever you want. Access stays tied to that sign-in, not a token in a local file.
Setting up Porter’s HubSpot connection takes one server URL and a HubSpot sign-in, with no code and no server to host. Claude and ChatGPT each have their own place to paste the URL. After you connect, ask a first question about deals created this quarter to confirm Porter returns your pipeline.
Use the Claude plugin for the guided route, since Claude keeps the Porter plugin synced when new tools ship.
portermetrics/porter.portermetrics/porter.First question to paste:
For HubSpot deals created this quarter, show Total deals, Deal amount and Deal amount won by Deal pipeline and Deal stage.Claude also documents the manual route in Anthropic’s guide to custom connectors using remote MCP. For screenshots and Claude Code, follow how to connect HubSpot to Claude, or see the HubSpot connector for Claude for Claude-only use cases.
Click-by-click Claude plugin demo:
Porter’s walkthrough connects HubSpot to Claude without code. You sign in to HubSpot in Porter, add Porter’s MCP URL to Claude as a custom connector, then ask a first pipeline question. The steps are the same as the list above.
Use manual setup when Claude asks for a custom connector instead of a plugin.

HubSpot’s own remote server URL is:
Use HubSpot’s URL when you only need HubSpot, inside one portal, and want objects Porter doesn’t read, like conversations, content or custom objects. Use Porter’s URL (https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp) when you want HubSpot next to ad spend, across client portals, with dashboards and alerts.
Both URLs go into the same kind of field: server URL. The choice is the server, not the AI client.
Porter’s HubSpot skills are operational prompts, not lessons. Each one turns live CRM data into a report, a diagnosis or an approved change, and you can paste it as written. Reporting and research prompts only read HubSpot. Automation prompts propose changes and wait for your approval before anything is written.
Marketers who answer for pipeline, not just leads. Porter’s HubSpot connection fits four groups. Agencies run many client portals, and CRM and marketing ops teams keep records clean. In-house marketers defend ad budgets, and analysts need field-level numbers. Each group below gets four jobs it can hand to Claude.
HubSpot only, one portal, and you need conversations, content or custom objects. HubSpot’s server reads those, and it is enough for that job.
HubSpot runs its own remote MCP server at mcp.hubspot.com. HubSpot’s April 13, 2026 GA announcement made it available to all HubSpot accounts, and HubSpot’s remote MCP server docs list what it reads and writes (as of November 2026). Porter and HubSpot’s server can run side by side in the same AI client.
HubSpot’s server hands your AI one HubSpot account. Porter hands it your marketing operation: the CRM, the ad spend behind it, the dashboards and the skills that already know the job.
The basics are the same on both: HubSpot sign-in, your existing HubSpot permissions, reads and writes, one URL in any MCP client. Here is where they part.
| Porter | HubSpot’s official MCP (as of November 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Same job, different reach | ||
| Portals per question | Every portal you connect | The account you authorize |
| Agency and per-client work | Built for many client portals | One connection per account |

| Blending sources into one number | Yes | Not in its docs |
| Live dashboards at their own link | Yes | Not in its docs |

Use HubSpot’s own if you work in one portal, only need HubSpot, and want conversations, content or custom objects. Everything under Only one side is what happens when that stops being the whole job.
Dozens of servers rank for this search, and they split three ways. The job tells you which one you’re looking at.
For dashboards outside chat, see HubSpot reporting tools compared. Porter does all three jobs from one server, on every plan.
The HubSpot MCP is included in every Porter plan, the free-forever plan too. Reporting is billed per connected account, and each HubSpot portal counts as one account.
Reporting price for connected accounts, in USD. AI chats, queries and dashboards are unlimited. Annual billing is 10 months for 12.
The more accounts you connect, the lower the price per account. See the full calculator on Porter pricing.
Yes, more than one. HubSpot runs its own remote server at https://mcp.hubspot.com, and Porter's is at https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp. Both read and write HubSpot through your HubSpot sign-in. Porter adds ad spend, client portals in one chat, live dashboards and skills on top of the CRM data.
Porter's server URL is https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp, and HubSpot's own is https://mcp.hubspot.com. Paste either into Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client as a custom connector or app. The choice is the server, not the client: Porter's adds other marketing sources, while HubSpot's stays inside one HubSpot account.
Yes. HubSpot's remote MCP server became generally available to all HubSpot accounts on April 13, 2026. It reads and writes CRM records through OAuth, and the tools you get depend on your HubSpot subscription and permissions. With Sensitive Data on, activities and conversations are blocked through it.
HubSpot's remote MCP connects AI tools to the CRM data in your portal. The Developer MCP runs locally with the HubSpot CLI and helps developers build apps and CMS content. Marketers who want answers about deals and contacts need the remote server, or Porter's, never the Developer MCP.
MCP is the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI apps like Claude read data from other tools. MCP is not the agent. Claude and ChatGPT are the agents, and MCP is how they reach your HubSpot portal through a server like Porter's.
Install the Porter plugin from Claude Settings → Customize → Plugins. Add the portermetrics/porter marketplace, install Porter Metrics, connect the Porter connector and sign in to HubSpot. Then ask about your deals. Use the manual custom connector only when Claude asks for one.
Porter's MCP costs nothing on any Porter plan, and it reaches HubSpot through the official API within HubSpot's usage limits. What you pay Porter for is Reporting, per connected account, and Automation credits when Claude changes records. The free plan covers 30 days of history and 100 credits a month.
Connect HubSpot to Claude or ChatGPT and ask about your pipeline, your lead sources and your emails today.
Start free: unlimited HubSpot portals, no credit card.
For agencies: every client portal answers in one chat, and Monday's report is a link you never rebuild.
For CRM and marketing ops: stuck deals and missing data reach you as a list to approve.
For in-house marketers: ad spend finally sits next to the deals it produced.
