​
Connect setup

Zoho CRM uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE. You need a server-based application from the Zoho API Console.
1

Create a Zoho API app

Go to Zoho API Console → Add Client → Server-based Applications. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret.
2

Add the redirect URL

In the app’s Authorized Redirect URIs field, add:
http://localhost:5001/api/v1/auth/callback
3

Configure required scopes

The Connect widget requests the following scopes:
  • ZohoCRM.modules.ALL — read and write access to all CRM modules (contacts, leads, deals, meetings)
  • ZohoCRM.users.READ — required to list and get owners
4

Select your data center

During connection, the end user selects their Zoho data center region. RouteMCP automatically routes OAuth and API calls to the correct regional endpoint.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key"

# Get a specific lead

Notes

  • Meetings are stored as Events in Zoho CRM and mapped to the unified meeting resource.
  • The datacenter field set during connection determines all regional API and auth endpoints automatically — no extra config needed per request.
  • Use environment: "sandbox" in your connect token to route requests to the Zoho sandbox environment.
