Move a deal to another stage, including Won or Lost.

Freshsales MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/freshsales.md

MCP tool: `freshsales_write → update_deal_stage`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Changes the stage as a drag in the Pipeline view does. Moving to Won sets the closed date, and moving to Lost takes a Lost reason. Your Workflows can start on the change and email contacts or the owner. Move it back with a second call. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `deal_id` | integer | yes | Deal id from list_deals. |
| `stage` | string | yes | Stage name from list_pipelines, in the deal's own pipeline. |
| `lost_reason` | string | no | A Lost reason from list_pipelines. Needed for Lost when your admin made the field required. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
