The CRM your AI agents can run.
An agent-native CRM: people, companies, and deals behind a clean REST API, an MCP server, a CLI, and signed webhooks. Your AI agent does the work — no dashboards, no integration marketplace.

Every interface reads and writes the same data through the same auth and rate-limit layer. Pick the one that fits the job.
OpenAPI 3.1, idempotency, cursor pagination, per-plan rate limits. The same surface every other tool in your stack uses.
15 tools, OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. Drop it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT — your agent reads and writes the workspace on the user’s behalf.
`npm i -g salty-cli`. Browser OAuth, OS keychain, `salty logs tail` for live audit. Stays out of your way until you need it.
HMAC-signed, exponential backoff, automatic deactivation after 8 failures with a meta-event to other endpoints. Production-grade out of the box.
Predictable pricing.
Solo and Pro ship every feature — REST, MCP, CLI, webhooks, custom objects, schema engine. Free is a demo tier; upgrade to actually build on Salty.
Frequently asked questions
The short answers. The full FAQ covers self-hosting, caps, multi-agent, and more. Weighing options? See how Salty compares to Salesforce, HubSpot, Attio, and more.
- How is Salty different from HubSpot, Attio, or Salesforce?
- Traditional CRMs are built for humans first — dashboards, forms, per-seat pricing, and an integration marketplace. Salty is agent-first: a REST API, MCP server, CLI, and signed webhooks, priced per API call. Schema changes happen at runtime via add_attribute — no migrations, no service restarts.
- Can humans also use Salty, or is it agent-only?
- Both. Salty ships a deliberately thin admin UI to manage API keys, browse records, handle billing, and make emergency edits. Most of the workflow runs through the agent; the UI is an inspection layer.
- What counts as an API call for billing?
- Every authenticated REST request is one call. MCP tool invocations forward to the REST API, so each MCP tool call is one call too. Admin UI actions authenticated via JWT — billing, key management, workspace settings — are exempt, so a workspace can never be locked out of its own settings.
- Can I export my data?
- Yes — one click in the dashboard (or GET /workspace/export) downloads your entire workspace as a single JSON file: people, companies, deals, notes, tasks, activities, custom objects, and your schema. Every object type also has paginated list endpoints. No vendor lock-in, and you can delete your workspace yourself anytime.
- Can an AI agent delete all my data?
- No. Deletes go to a 30-day trash you can restore from, and there is deliberately no agent tool that hard-deletes — so you can let an agent run on your CRM without fear of it wiping your records. You can also hand an agent a read-only API key that can look but not change anything. See “Your data, your control”.
- Which MCP clients work with Salty?
- Any client supporting the Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and custom clients built on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. For stdio-only clients, use mcp-remote as a stdio↔HTTP bridge.
- How do AI agents authenticate with Salty?
- Three paths, one workspace. API keys (sk_live_…) for server-to-server agents, OAuth 2.1 + PKCE access tokens for MCP clients acting on a user’s behalf, and Supabase JWTs for the admin UI. Every request is scoped to a single workspace; agent traffic is metered for billing while admin actions are exempt, so a workspace can never be locked out of its own settings.
