Known Gotchas

  • Rate limits of 100-150/10s can be exhausted quickly by agents processing large contact lists
  • API versioning: v1, v2, v3 APIs coexist with different patterns - use v3/crm for modern work
  • Association APIs are complex - creating contacts, companies, and deals requires separate association calls
  • MCP server is community-maintained, not officially from HubSpot engineering team
  • Property validation is strict - custom properties must be created before use
