HubSpot is levelling up how your team interacts with CRM data, not just within the HubSpot platform, but inside the AI tools you're already using. Two of the most powerful integrations are already live: the HubSpot connector for OpenAI's ChatGPT, and the newly launched HubSpot connector for Anthropic's Claude. Whether you're in sales, marketing, support, or RevOps, these AI connectors reduce manual tasks, speed up decision-making, and make your CRM feel a whole lot smarter.
This guide breaks down:
- What’s live now: HubSpot connectors for ChatGPT and Claude
- What’s in beta: HubSpot + Google Gemini for Gmail
- What’s planned: HubSpot + Microsoft 365 Copilot integration
- What enables extensibility: Model Context Protocol (MCP) — for teams building secure, AI-driven solutions with HubSpot data
Imagine that your sales manager asks for a breakdown of deals closing this month, sorted by rep. Your support lead wants to review ticket resolution patterns across channels. Your marketing director needs to segment contacts who engaged with a recent campaign but didn’t convert.
You could spend an hour gathering exports, applying filters, building reports — or you could ask.
Just ask.
And get an answer in seconds, pulled directly from HubSpot, structured and ready to act on.
This is no longer a future scenario. It’s already happening inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gmail and soon, potentially, Microsoft Copilot. HubSpot’s AI connectors are changing how teams interact with data.
And if your CRM is your company’s source of truth, this shift matters.
What’s Happening, and Why It Matters Now
For years, CRM adoption depended on people logging in, learning the interface, and remembering where to click. Even in well-run businesses, that’s always been a hurdle. What these AI connectors do is remove the interface entirely.
They bring HubSpot’s structured data into the tools your teams are already using, not as a report, but as an interactive, intelligent assistant. This change not only affects how fast teams work but also how deeply they engage with CRM insights. Whether you're a head of RevOps, a Customer Success Manager, or a Data Officer tasked with governance and adoption, this evolution deserves attention.
Let’s walk through what’s live, what’s in pilot, and what’s on the horizon.
HubSpot Connector for ChatGPT (Live)
Available for: OpenAI Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu plans (Web only)
HubSpot’s connector for ChatGPT brings live CRM data into the ChatGPT interface. Initially built for deep research, it’s now equally effective for quick, everyday queries. This is particularly valuable for operational and customer-facing teams that rely on up-to-date insights but don’t always work directly in the CRM.

You can ask questions like:
- “How many high-priority tickets were created last week?”
- Run more strategic queries like:
- “Analyse our deal velocity by pipeline stage over the past quarter”
- Pull contextual data instantly for planning, reporting, or 1:1s
This connector reduces the effort required to access accurate CRM data, eliminating friction for sales managers, team leads, and support representatives alike. It also helps reduce internal dependencies on operations teams for everyday insight.
Key considerations:
- Supports read-only access to contacts, companies, deals, and tickets
- Respects all HubSpot permission sets
- Custom properties are supported
- Sensitive properties are not accessible
- Currently supported in ChatGPT Web only

HubSpot Connector for Claude (Live)
Available for: Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plans (Web + Desktop)
Claude is known for advanced reasoning and structured output — making it particularly strong for use cases that involve summarisation, pattern recognition, and operational analysis. The new connector brings your HubSpot data into Claude, making it easy to surface trends and generate visualisations that support faster decision-making.

You might ask:
- “Summarise my active deals by rep and close date”
- “Group open tickets by priority and support channel”
- “Find contacts who opened but didn’t click our last campaign, and generate a chart”
While ChatGPT excels at flexible conversation, Claude is especially helpful for users who need structure, whether that’s visual outputs or better breakdowns. For marketing, customer success, or RevOps teams running operational reviews, this can save hours each month.
Setup and requirements:
- Supports contacts, companies, deals, and tickets
- Read-only access only; no edits or writes to the CRM
- Each user only sees what they’re permitted to access in HubSpot
- Available in multiple languages (based on Claude support)
- Does not access sensitive data properties
- Requires a HubSpot login and a Claude subscription at a paid tier

HubSpot + Gemini for Google Workspace (Private Beta)
Gemini for Google Workspace is Google’s AI assistant embedded into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and other Workspace tools. HubSpot is actively piloting an integration designed to support sales productivity inside Gmail.
Source: HubSpot
From a single Gmail thread, a rep can:
- View associated contact, company, and deal info
- Create a contact, note or task in HubSpot
- Ask Gemini to summarise the email and draft a reply based on CRM data
Sales teams often work from their inbox. This integration reduces the number of clicks and steps required to keep HubSpot up to date, resulting in more accurate CRM data, less manual input, and fewer forgotten follow-ups.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Integration (In Planning)
An integration between Microsoft 365 Copilot and HubSpot is under consideration, though there is currently no public timeline. This would enable CRM context inside Outlook, Teams, and other Microsoft tools, something many sales and account teams are already asking for.
If this is relevant to your business, we recommend upvoting the request to help prioritise it:
For AI Developers: HubSpot’s Model Context Protocol (MCP)
As businesses explore how to bring AI deeper into their workflows, one challenge consistently emerges: how do you feed context to models securely and responsibly, without breaking compliance or misusing CRM data?
That’s exactly what HubSpot’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) is designed to solve.
MCP is a developer framework that enables teams to build AI-powered features, like custom GPTs, copilots, and assistants, using CRM data from HubSpot, with built-in awareness of object relationships, permissions, and data security.
What it enables:
-
Secure, permission-aware AI context from HubSpot
-
Scalable foundation for building custom AI features into internal tools
-
Unified, structured data flow for third-party models (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
MCP is now publicly documented and is part of HubSpot’s AI developer tooling for teams building internal copilots, custom LLM integrations, or context-aware assistants across sales, marketing, and service operations.

What This Means for Data, Teams, and Adoption
There’s a shift in how people engage with data. AI provides teams with faster answers, better visibility, and more consistent context, eliminating the need for custom dashboards or data analysts to retrieve the numbers manually.
At Cat Media, we’re already seeing our clients benefit from:
-
Less time spent chasing reports
-
Increased CRM adoption across roles
-
Improved strategic decision-making, driven by data, not guesswork
For data leaders, it also means greater confidence in how the CRM is being used. When AI assistants rely on live data with built-in permissions, governance doesn’t take a back seat; it becomes part of the workflow.
OpenAI and Claude connectors are live now, and they’re already shaping how teams work.
If HubSpot is the central nervous system of your commercial function, AI isn’t optional anymore; it’s how you get more value out of the data you already have. Now the question is, can you trust your data? But that's a topic for another day. In the meantime, we recommend exploring data quality solutions.
For organisations concerned about data security and compliance, especially when introducing AI, HubSpot has invested heavily in transparency. You can explore how HubSpot manages AI usage, privacy, and compliance via their AI Trust Center, which outlines what data is used, what isn’t, and how controls are managed. We’ve also written a detailed guide on how to set up the HubSpot Trust Center and assign a Security Contact to ensure your team receives proactive updates on compliance and product changes — read it here.
