# Create a note

Attaches an HTML note to a lead, deal, person or organization.

Send the note as HTML in `content`; it is sanitized on the server. Name at
least one record to attach it to: `lead_id`, `deal_id`, `person_id` or
`org_id`.

## 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 `addNote`.

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

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://{companydomain}.pipedrive.com
- Endpoint: `POST /api/v1/notes`
- Auth: send the header `x-api-token: $PIPEDRIVE_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://app.pipedrive.com/settings/api
- Docs: https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1

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.
