Helping startup operators move faster with automation

I train business professionals on AI and automation: workshops, online courses, live sessions, all the way down to custom company training programs

Attio MCP is out. Translation: fully programmable CRM gets its command-line interface. Why this is huge:

You can now orchestrate your entire CRM from Claude or any MCP-compatible AI tool. Configure fields, access data, trigger workflows, etc. all from a single interface.

This isn't just "another" integration - it's a big shift in how users will interact with Attio. Think about it:
→ No more filtering records on lists for minutes to get leads
→ No more clicking through UIs to update records
→ No more context-switching between tools 
etc.

Instead, you describe what you want in natural language, and your AI assistant executes it directly in your CRM.

And with tools like Claude Skills, you'll gain the ability to orchestrate complex multi-step operations in Attio with a single command.

This is so, so powerful.

Now, truth be told: a lot of this was already possible with Attio's API. 

But MCP will facilitate things further, especially for less technical users: now they can query Attio data and execute operations using natural language, in an environment less intimidating like Cowork.

It's still early and will require setup and iterations:
→ You'll need to understand your CRM data model
→ You'll need to think through permissions carefully
→ And you'll still need to test and validate

I already have a few use cases in mind that I'll be testing.

If you're using Attio, this is worth exploring.

What's your take? Who else is super pumped about MCP?

Empowering Ops Professionals that use #NoCode with Operator (an automation management platform) and community at NoCodeOps 🧰

I lead AI Transformation at Zapier. Previously, I was the co-founder and CEO of NoCodeOps, a community and automation management platform acquired by Zapier. Before that, I built the onboarding program for 15,000+ real estate agents at Compass. With 8+ years in operations, internal systems, and automation, I’m passionate about empowering teams with no-code solutions.

Fun fact: Before tech, I was an actor, I appeared on Law & Order, in films at Cannes and Tribeca, and way too many of off-off-off Broadway shows to count.

It wouldn’t be a trip to LA without a photo shoot. Let’s just say the Slack channel for this Zapier project is called #Philboards 😜
 
Huge shoutouts to Sadie Hochfield, Beth H., Ashley Hadeed, Julia Jaskólska, Dan Slagen, and Wade Foster for greenlighting this madness.  Stay tuned, y’all!
