Dr. Schauer | CRM and a conversational Kanzlei stack · Kanzlei MCP

How Metawork built lead qualification in Pipedrive plus an MCP tool layer and a DATEV Connect integration for a German tax firm.

Duration 3 months
Tasks 41
Meetings 1

What was built

A team-facing MCP layer so the firm's staff move CRM and operational data through Claude instead of clicking through the Pipedrive interface. Only supervisors work in the CRM UI; everyone else gets the same data conversationally, under the same permissions.

Area Description
Tool surface Built on Metawork's MetaPipe, with Pipedrive roles as the single enforcement layer, so access rules are not reimplemented in a second place
Inbound sync A nightly PraxisMachen to Pipedrive sync with webhook lead creation, a freshness-based conflict resolver and person deduplication
Alerting A grouped nightly digest that separates updated from stopped, plus heartbeat and failure alerts into the shared alert hub
Meeting notes A capture wedge that stores meeting notes, applies the confidentiality rule per user, and pushes a summary plus assigned activities back to the deal
Deployment CI/CD for the MCP host, so the live server stops drifting from main
Onboarding The team onboarded through the post-connect mail and a walkthrough video rather than a training day

Tech stack

Technology Role
