Connect Follow Up Boss to AI
Talk to your Follow Up Boss account from Claude on the web, on your desktop and on your phone. One click puts it on your own server. About 15 minutes, no terminal.
Affiliate link: if you buy through this button, Hostinger pays me a commission. Your price is the same. The software is free; the server is a paid Hostinger plan.
Your AI assistant, now inside your CRM
Ask in plain English and it searches your contacts, creates tasks, moves deals and more, right in your Follow Up Boss account. No copy and paste, no switching tabs. Just ask.
Contacts
Search, view, create and update contacts. “Show me my new leads from this week” just works.
Pipeline & Deals
Create and track deals in your pipeline. Move stages, update values, and stay on top of what’s in progress.
Tasks & Appointments
Set up follow-up tasks and appointments. Ask it to remind you to call someone next Tuesday, and it’s done.
Calls & Texts
View call logs and text message logs for any contact (Follow Up Boss keeps the text of each message private from the API), and log calls and notes as you go.
Email Templates
Browse, create and update your email and text templates through your AI tool.
And 140+ More Tools
Notes, tags, smart lists, action plans, custom fields, teams and more. 160 tools across the official Follow Up Boss API.
Why put it on your own server
Claude on the web and the Claude phone app can’t reach software on your laptop. They need a server with a secure web address. Hostinger sets that up for you with one click.
Works everywhere you use Claude
On the web, in the desktop app and in the phone app. Ask about a lead from the car between showings.
Your key stays with you
It’s a server you rent and control. Your Follow Up Boss API key lives there and is only sent to Follow Up Boss. A password protects the sign-in.
No terminal, no code
Hostinger builds the server and the secure address for you. You paste your API key, pick a password, and connect Claude. The smallest plan, KVM 1, is plenty.
Up and running in 4 steps
About 15 minutes. Keep a note open for your API key, your password and your server address.
Get your API key
In Follow Up Boss, go to Admin › Integrations › API Keys & Lead Email and click Create API Key.
Click Deploy on Hostinger
Pick the KVM 1 plan and check out. Hostinger loads the Follow Up Boss setup for you.
Paste your key, pick a password
Type both into Hostinger’s Environment box and click Deploy. When it says Running, write down your server address.
Connect Claude
In Claude, add a custom connector with your server address, then sign in with your password. Done.
Affiliate link: Hostinger pays me a commission if you buy through it. Your price is the same.
Important: a Follow Up Boss API key sees only what its user sees. An agent’s key reaches only that agent’s contacts, so for the whole database, ask your broker or account owner for the key.
Safe Mode: on by default. It hides the 24 delete tools and leaves 136 of the 160 available, so nothing gets deleted by accident.
Questions agents ask
What does it cost?
The software is free. You pay Hostinger for the server, and you see the price at checkout before you buy.
Why don’t you just host it for me?
Each agent runs their own copy with their own API key. That keeps your client data between you, Follow Up Boss and your AI tool. It never passes through me.
Can it send emails or texts?
No. The Follow Up Boss API logs texts and calls on a contact’s timeline, but it doesn’t deliver email or SMS. That’s a Follow Up Boss limit.
I get stuck. Where do I ask?
Post in the Q&A on GitHub, and I answer there.
Prefer to run it yourself?
These work too, but only on your own computer, so no Claude on the web or phone.
Claude Desktop file
Download the .mcpb file from the latest release and double-click it. Claude Desktop installs it and asks for your API key.
Install it yourself
For Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP tools. The GitHub README has the steps.
