CrewNest MCP server for ChatGPT and Claude
Connect CrewNest to ChatGPT, Claude and other AI agents through Cotlet. Work with estimates, job scheduling, crew assignments and receivables in your own signed-in account.

Cotlet provides an independent connection for work in your signed-in business account and is not affiliated with CrewNest.
What you can ask
Show outstanding receivables for the period I select.
Draft an unsent estimate for the customer property I select using my service, area, rate and tax. Stop before emailing it.
Schedule the job I select and assign it to a crew member after showing me the details and getting my approval.

Get your API key at https://cotlet.dev/app and export it as COTLET_API_KEY.
ChatGPT
Settings → Apps → add connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1, then sign in with Cotlet.dev. No API key needed.
Claude
Add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as a custom connector in Claude and sign in with Cotlet.dev. Follow the steps in your Cotlet console.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
Cursor
Copy .cursor/mcp.json from this repo into your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cotlet": {
"url": "https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${COTLET_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}
Run it locally (stdio)
This repo is a real MCP server. It speaks MCP over stdio, lists its CrewNest tools without any key, and forwards every tool call to the hosted Cotlet.dev server. The hosted URL above stays the recommended way. Use this when your client only starts local servers.
{"mcpServers": {"crewnest": {"command": "python3", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/crewnest-mcp/crewnest_agent.py", "serve"], "env": {"COTLET_API_KEY": "your-key"}}}}
Or with Docker:
docker build -t crewnest-mcp .
docker run -i --rm -e COTLET_API_KEY crewnest-mcp
Tools: crewnest_guide, crewnest_status, crewnest_open, crewnest_read, crewnest_click, crewnest_type, crewnest_close. Without COTLET_API_KEY a tool call answers: "Set COTLET_API_KEY. Get a key at https://cotlet.dev/app".
