compatibility
Requires Rarefriend MCP (@rarefriend-ai/mcp). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, and other Agent Skills-compatible clients.
Rarefriend remembers your professional network so you don't have to — contacts from Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and your phone in one place, with notes, tags, and full relationship history always at your fingertips.
Access it from your AI assistant, the web app at rarefriend.com, or Hops — Rarefriend's AI on WhatsApp.
LinkedIn sync requires the Rarefriend Chrome extension — set it up at rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → LinkedIn.
Setup Detection Protocol
ALWAYS run this before any CRM action.
Call list_connected_integrations with no arguments.
If the tool is not available → MCP is not connected. Present these steps inline to the user:
Sign in at rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → MCP → copy the Client ID and Client Secret
Claude Code / Codex: run claude mcp add rarefriend -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_ID=your_id -e RAREFRIEND_CLIENT_SECRET=your_secret -- npx -y @rarefriend-ai/mcp
Cursor: add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json under mcpServers.rarefriend with command: npx, args: ["-y", "@rarefriend-ai/mcp"], and the two env vars
Claude Desktop: add the same block to claude_desktop_config.json
Restart the client, then try again
If it returns an empty list → MCP is connected but no integrations synced. Proceed and offer to connect Google or Microsoft when relevant.
If integrations are present → proceed directly to the user's request.
Never assume whether an integration is connected — always call the tool to check.
Core Workflows
1 — Search and retrieve contacts
search_contacts(query, searchMode?, tag?, source?, limit?, offset?)
searchMode: 'all' | 'name' | 'company' | 'role' | 'email' | 'exact'
tag: filter to contacts with this exact tag (e.g. "investor")
source: filter by origin — 'google_contacts' | 'microsoft_contacts' |
'linkedin' | 'linkedin_csv' | 'manual' | 'mcp' | 'gmail' |
'google_calendar' | 'microsoft_calendar' | 'microsoft_email' | 'phone_contacts'
Use offset + limit for pagination when hasMore=true in the response.
get_contact(contactId)
Returns full profile — emails, phones, notes count, tags.
Pattern: Always search first. Only call for a specific person the user asks about — do not fetch every result from a list.
get_contact
Source attribution: Each contact in the response includes a sourceLabel field (e.g. "Google Contacts", "LinkedIn (extension)", "Added manually"). Always mention this when presenting a contact — e.g. "Found Alice Wang in Google Contacts" or "Sarthak Sharma — LinkedIn (extension), Product Manager at Acme".
Pattern: For updates, call get_contact first so the user sees the current state, then apply the change.
3 — Notes
create_note(contactId, content, isPinned?)
update_note(noteId, content?, isPinned?)
delete_note(noteId)
list_notes(contactId, limit?, offset?)
get_note(noteId)
pin_note(noteId, pinned)
search_notes(query, limit?) — full-text across all contacts
get_recent_notes(limit?) — most recent notes, all contacts
Pattern: After any meeting or call, create a note immediately. Use search_notes when the user asks "what did I last discuss with…" or "what do I know about…". Pin notes for critical context.
4 — Tags
list_tags()
add_tag(contactId, tag)
remove_tag(contactId, tag)
rename_tag(oldTag, newTag) — renames across all contacts
Pattern: Normalise tags to lowercase kebab-case. When bulk-tagging ("tag everyone at Sequoia"), search contacts first then loop add_tag.
Pattern: Pass times in ISO 8601 with timezone. Use find_available_google_time before scheduling. Use search_contacts to resolve attendee emails by name before creating events.
Microsoft contacts are readable from Outlook — edits go through update_contact in Rarefriend.
7 — Bulk import
bulk_create_contacts(contacts[])
Each: { displayName*, firstName?, lastName?, emails?, phones?,
company?, role?, location?, bio? }
Max 50 contacts per call.
Pattern: Parse any list the user provides (text, CSV, spreadsheet rows) into the contacts array. If the batch exceeds 50, split and make sequential calls. If the response contains quota_exceeded, inform the user their plan limit has been reached and direct them to rarefriend.com to upgrade.
Pattern for connecting: Call connect_integration, present the connectUrl as a clickable link, say: "Open this link in your browser to connect [integration]. It expires in 15 minutes." Never ask the user to paste credentials.
Pattern after connecting: Call get_integration_sync_status to confirm when sync completes (typically a couple of minutes after connecting).
LinkedIn sync — requires the Rarefriend Chrome extension. Go to rarefriend.com → Settings → Integrations → LinkedIn to install and connect. Once synced, contacts appear here searchable with source="linkedin".
Hops on WhatsApp — Rarefriend's AI assistant available on WhatsApp. Same contacts, notes, and network — ask Hops anything about your network by message.
Reminders — set follow-up reminders on contacts via the web app at rarefriend.com.
Phone contacts sync — sync your phone contacts via the web app.
