Zoho Bigin for AI agents

Zoho Bigin is a simplified CRM for small businesses, focused on pipeline tracking and contact management without the complexity of a full CRM. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.
