Manage Copper CRM people, companies, opportunities, leads, tasks, activities and org metadata via the Copper Developer API v1.
Copper ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 24 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.copperCopper is the CRM built into Google Workspace, reading Gmail and Calendar so a salesperson’s pipeline sits beside their inbox rather than in a separate tab — and this app covers its core objects: people, companies, opportunities, leads, tasks and activities, over Copper’s own API.
It searches and manages people and companies (keyed on email address and domain, matching how Copper itself treats uniqueness), creates and advances opportunities through pipeline stages, creates and searches leads, and logs tasks and activities including calls and notes. Lookups for pipelines, activity types and custom field definitions let a workflow resolve the per-account ids Copper’s write endpoints require.
Good for syncing contacts and companies from email or web forms, keeping deal stage and value current from an external system, logging customer activity from another tool into Copper’s timeline, or automating routine tasks tied to a pipeline stage change.
Three routes to the same 24 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Copper's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
create-activity Log a note, call or meeting against a Lead, Person, Company, Opportunity, Project or Task. Only user-category activities can be created — system activities are read-only.
create-company Create a Company (a customer organization). Email domains are unique across Companies — reusing one fails rather than duplicating.
create-lead Create a Lead — Copper's pre-qualification catch-all holding contact, company and deal value in one record. Note `email` is a single object here, not an array.
create-opportunity Create an Opportunity. Note `closeDate` is `MM/DD/YYYY` text, not a Unix timestamp — Copper makes it one of a handful of documented date-format exceptions.
create-person Create a Person. Email addresses are unique across People — creating one that already exists fails rather than duplicating.
create-task Create a Task, optionally attached to a Lead, Person, Company, Opportunity or Project. `completed_date` is not settable — Copper fills it when the status flips to Completed.
find-person-by-email Fetch the single Person with this email address. Email is a unique key for People in Copper, so this is an exact lookup — `POST /people/fetch_by_email`, with the address in the body.
get-person Fetch a single Person by id, including addresses, emails, phone numbers, tags and custom field values.
list-activity-types List the account's Activity Types, keyed by category (`user` / `system`). Needed to create anything other than a Note, whose id is hard-coded to 0.
list-custom-field-definitions List the account's custom field definitions — their ids, data types, dropdown options and which record types they appear on. Needed to read or write any custom field value.
list-pipeline-stages List Pipeline Stages — all of them, or just one pipeline's. Each carries its `pipeline_id` and win probability.
list-pipelines List every Pipeline on the account, each with its stages nested in. A plain GET — Copper's metadata endpoints are not search endpoints.
list-related-items List the records related to a Lead, Person, Company, Opportunity, Project or Task — optionally narrowed to one related type. Returns `{id, type}` identifiers, not full records.
list-users List the Users on the Copper account — the ids every assignee field takes. `POST /users/search`, which accepts paging only: Copper documents no filters or sorting for it.
search-activities List Activities via `POST /activities/search`, optionally scoped to one parent record and to specific activity types.
search-companies List and filter Companies via `POST /companies/search` — Copper has no GET collection endpoint; filters, sorting and paging go in the request body.
search-leads List and filter Leads via `POST /leads/search`. Converted Leads are excluded unless you set Include converted leads.
search-opportunities List and filter Opportunities via `POST /opportunities/search` — filters, sorting and paging go in the request body.
search-people List and filter People. Copper has no GET collection endpoint — this is `POST /people/search` with the filters, sorting and paging in the request body.
search-tasks List and filter Tasks via `POST /tasks/search`. Status filters are the plain strings "Open" / "Completed" — no numeric ids for this resource.
update-company Update a Company. Only the fields you supply change; send an explicit `null` to clear one.
update-opportunity Update an Opportunity — advance its pipeline stage, change its value, or close it Won/Lost. Only the fields you supply change; `closeDate` is `MM/DD/YYYY` text, not a timestamp.
update-person Update a Person. Only the fields you supply change; send an explicit `null` to clear one. Re-pointing a Person at a different Company needs the Related Items API, not this action.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Copper's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Copper, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Copper. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.copper#create-activity",
"input": {
"parentType": "<parentType>",
"parentId": "<parentId>",
"details": "<details>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Copper connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Copper's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Copper itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Copper declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
