followupboss-mcp-server vs context-mode
followupboss-mcp-server: This server acts as a bridge between your Follow Up Boss account and AI tools like Claude. It provides 159 tools covering 100% of the official API, allowing you to manage contacts, deals, tasks, and more via plain English. Built by a working real estate broker, it's free for self-host use under the Elastic License 2.0.; context-mode: Every tool call in an MCP (Model-Controller-Program) environment dumps raw data into the context window, quickly consuming space and causing the agent to lose track of ongoing tasks. Context Mode is an MCP server that tackles this by sandboxing tool outputs to significantly reduce context usage, tracking session events in SQLite for continuity, and promoting 'think in code' to minimize data processing within the LLM.

TL;DR
Choose followupboss-mcp-server if…Search for contacts, create new leads, update stages, manage tags, and check duplicates
