Flori's MCP server or Deskhand for an AI agent?

Flori is a CRM with project management for freelancers, small agencies and small teams, and it ships a remote MCP server that assistants connect to by signing in. Deskhand is a hosted CRM and email desk where each agent holds its own key. Both are real options; they fit different set-ups.
