# Create a deal

Creates a deal with a title and, optionally, its pipeline stage, value, currency, person and organization, and returns the new deal.

Only `title` is required. Place the deal with `pipeline_id` and `stage_id`,
and link it with `person_id` and `org_id`. Custom fields go in
`custom_fields`, keyed by each field's 40-character hash.

## 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": { "pipedrive": { "url": "https://mcp.pipedrive.ai/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `addDeal`.

Server URL: https://mcp.pipedrive.ai/mcp

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://{companydomain}.pipedrive.com
- Endpoint: `POST /api/v2/deals`
- Auth: send the header `x-api-token: $PIPEDRIVE_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://app.pipedrive.com/settings/api

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.
