Streak

CRM
Velocity6.3

CRM built directly inside Gmail for managing pipelines in your inbox

Streak went from an MCP server you configure to a Claude connector you click.

◆Current state
Streak is a Gmail-native CRM that has spent the last quarter making its pipeline data legible and writable by AI assistants. Its MCP server moved from read-only to full write access in June, and as of August Streak ships as a one-click Claude connector with no server URL to paste. Alongside that, the core CRM keeps getting collaboration and hygiene work: live viewing indicators, filterable pipeline newsfeeds, and validation rules that now hold on mobile.
◆Where it's heading
The investment is going into the assistant as a primary client rather than a bolted-on sidebar, and each release lowers the cost of pointing an LLM at the CRM: read, then write, then zero-config install. The non-AI work serves the same end, since validation rules and per-person activity history are what make AI answers about a pipeline trustworthy. Streak is betting the CRM gets used through a conversation more often than through its own UI.
◆Prediction
Expect the connector surface to widen to other assistant vendors and the AI credit system to become the metering story as LLM-driven writes grow. The entries show no pricing changes yet, so how that consumption gets charged is still unclear.

    🤖 Add Streak as a Claude connector

    ⚡ SPARK

    The one-click Claude connector removes the last setup step in the arc that began with Streak's MCP server: no server URL, no admin configuration, just an authorization. It converts AI access to the CRM from something a technical user provisions into a default any rep can switch on.

    📱 Data validation in Streak iOS and Android apps

    Data validation rules now fire in the iOS and Android apps, closing the desktop-mobile gap that let reps save incomplete deals on the road. It reads as pipeline hygiene, and it matters because Streak's AI answers are only as good as the field data behind them.

    🗞️ Pipeline newsfeed: filter activity by teammate and event type

    The pipeline newsfeed grows into a full activity history with filters for person and event type, including one for how AI has been working on deals. That detail is the tell: Streak now treats an assistant as an actor on the pipeline that needs auditing like any teammate.

    👀 Real time collaboration: see who's viewing a deal in your pipeline

    Live avatars bring document-style presence into the CRM, showing who is in a deal right now and who viewed it before. A real collaboration addition, but an incremental one that sits alongside rather than inside the AI arc driving the product.

    🤖 Expanded MCP capabilities: create boxes, contacts, and more from LLMs

    ⚡ SPARK

    This is where the AI arc turned: the MCP server stopped being a read-only window on the pipeline and gained the ability to create boxes and contacts, move deals between stages, and log emails to a timeline. Everything since — citations, mobile Q&A, the Claude connector — assumes assistants can change the CRM, not just describe it.
