A back office your engineers don't hate.
Your team ships software. Your CRM shouldn't feel like a different planet. Excellent gives ops a local-first suite with an open MCP server — so the same agents your engineers already use can run leads, tasks, and hiring against the same database.
Three things saas ops teams keep telling us.
01
Your team uses Claude or Cursor for code, but your CRM is a closed black box — the agents you trust on your repo can't touch your pipeline.
02
Customer data is stuck in a vendor cloud; every script that needs it has to authenticate through an API gateway you'd rather not have.
03
Onboarding a new ops hire means buying yet another seat in three SaaS tools you're already mad about.
What an Excellent workspace looks like for you.
MCP-native — every app, every agent
Excellent's MCP server exposes tasks, CRM, hiring, and documents to any MCP-aware client. Use the agents you already trust against the data you already own.
Your data, your machine, your repo
The database is a SQLite file. Back it up to your storage. Diff it. Branch it. Your customer list and your codebase share the same operational discipline.
Replace the per-seat stack
Linear, HubSpot, Notion, and Zapier — collapsed into one license per workspace. Engineering ops and revenue ops finally share a tool.
Built on six apps. These are the ones you'll touch first.
Tasks
Work that agents and humans share
A kanban-and-list task system with a ship/verify protocol baked in — every change is claimed, reviewed, and signed off by a different party.
CRM
Leads, pipelines, one timeline
Track leads, contacts, and opportunities through editable pipelines. Calls, emails, and meetings land on a single timeline per relationship.
Documents
Write with an AI editor
A document workspace with an AI-assisted editor, so drafting, editing, and reference material live next to the rest of your operation.
Integrations
Connect the outside world
Bridge external services into your local workspace so data flows in and out without surrendering it to someone else's cloud.
Lens
See what your agents did
Session analytics for your AI agents — charts and tables that show what ran, what it touched, and what it cost.
We canceled HubSpot, Workable, and Zapier in week three. The CRM agent runs our outbound queue overnight; I read what it did in the morning.
