What is this?
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude to Teamleader Focus - the all-in-one CRM, invoicing, and project management platform.
Instead of clicking through menus, just ask:
"Find all open deals for Acme Corporation"
"Create an invoice for 20 hours of consulting at €125/hour"
"Schedule a meeting with Sarah from TechStart next Tuesday at 2pm"
"Log 3 hours to the website project with description: frontend development"
