description	Attio API integration with managed OAuth. Manage CRM data including people, companies, and custom objects. Use this skill when users want to create, read, update, or delete records in Attio, manage tasks, or query CRM data. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).
compatibility	Requires network access and valid Maton API key

Attio

Access the Attio REST API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage CRM objects, records, tasks, comments, and workspace data.

Quick Start

# List all objects in workspace
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/v2/objects')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Attio API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.attio.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Attio OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=attio&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'attio'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "67b77f19-206e-494c-82c2-8668396fc1f1",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-06T03:13:17.061608Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-06T03:13:17.061617Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "attio",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Attio connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/v2/objects')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '67b77f19-206e-494c-82c2-8668396fc1f1')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Query company records
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/v2/objects/companies/records/query',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ limit: 10 })
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

# Query company records
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/v2/objects/companies/records/query',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={'limit': 10}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

• Object slugs are lowercase snake_case (e.g., people, companies)
• Record IDs and other IDs are UUIDs
• For personal-name attributes, always include full_name when creating records
• Task creation requires format: "plaintext" and assignees array (can be empty)
• Some endpoints require additional OAuth scopes (lists, notes, webhooks)
• Rate limits: 100 read requests/second, 25 write requests/second
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Missing Attio connection or validation error
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
403	Insufficient OAuth scopes
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Attio API

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Insufficient Scopes

If you receive a 403 error about missing scopes, contact Maton support at [e-mail] with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case.

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with attio. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/attio/v2/objects
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/v2/objects
