This page is honest about what exists today. ShineCRM does not yet offer a public REST API, API keys, or outbound webhooks. The programmatic direction we are building is the ShineCRM MCP server, which connects an AI assistant like Claude directly to your organization.
If you were sent here expecting REST endpoints, an api.shinecx.com base URL, or developer API keys: none of those exist yet. We would rather tell you that than point you at something that isn’t real.
What you can do today
- Export your data. Download contacts, invoices, jobs, estimates, mileage, and messages as CSV from Settings then Export.
- Use the built-in integrations. Google Calendar, Stripe, and Square connect without any code. See Integrations.
What’s in development
The MCP server lets you connect your own Claude account (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code) to your ShineCRM organization and ask it to read and, with your approval, act on your CRM in plain language. It is scoped to your organization only and never sees other businesses’ data.
Read MCP server for the current status and what it will do when it ships.
