# Search CRM records

Returns contacts, companies, deals or other CRM records that match property filters or a text query.

Set `objectType` to `contacts`, `companies`, `deals` or another object. Filters within a group combine with AND and groups combine with OR; the MCP tool takes up to five groups of six filters and returns up to 200 records per page.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "hubspot": { "url": "https://mcp.hubspot.com" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `search_crm_objects`.

Server URL: https://mcp.hubspot.com

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.hubapi.com
- Endpoint: `POST /crm/objects/2026-09/{objectType}/search`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Bearer $HUBSPOT_API_KEY`
- Docs: https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api-reference/latest/overview

Before doing anything else, make one read-only call to confirm access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data.
- Never print API keys.
