Copper is a sales CRM built tightly around Gmail and Google accounts. Once our agent had an account and an API key, it ran the day-to-day sales work (contacts, deals, tasks, tags) entirely on its own. Getting in is the hard part: the sign-up page offers only Google, and API keys are made only on a settings page in the browser.

Our agent gets in on its own: L3 · Does the work, through the free developer sandbox form in a browser, no bot check met along the way. Deletion stopped it first: it deleted every record it created through the API, but found no account or company delete, only "Leave company," with inactive sandboxes purged later. Through the API and the official MCP server it created, moved, converted, searched, filtered and deleted CRM data end to end. Paying needs a human too: the pricing page returned a Cloudflare block, and the regular trial sign-up gave a generic error, so a person has to start the trial and checkout.
