Frequently asked questions

What is ContactOut MCP?

ContactOut MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI tools like Claude, n8n, Cursor, and more, directly to ContactOut's database of 600M+ verified professional profiles. Once connected, your AI can find contacts, look up emails and phone numbers, enrich profiles, and verify data using plain English prompts.

Which AI tools work with ContactOut MCP?

ContactOut MCP works with any platform that supports the Model Context Protocol standard. This includes Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Cursor, n8n, Make, and any custom AI agent or workflow that accepts an MCP server URL. It is listed in the Claude connector directory for one-click setup.

Do I need to be a developer to use it?

No. Setup takes under 60 seconds. Copy the MCP server URL, paste it into your AI tool's connectors or integrations settings, and authenticate with your ContactOut API key. No code, no configuration files, no developer involvement needed. If you can use Claude or ChatGPT, you can use ContactOut MCP.

How do I connect ContactOut MCP to Claude?

You will need an API key to use the ContactOut MCP. Sign up for a free ContactOut account or book a meeting to get one. Add https://contactout.com/mcp as an MCP server in your AI application. Complete the OAuth login using your ContactOut API token. Once successful, you should see ContactOut as an available tool in your AI client.

What can I actually do with ContactOut MCP?

From a single conversation you can: search 600M+ profiles by name, title, company, location, or skills; get verified work emails and phone numbers; find key decision makers at any company; enrich a profile URL into a full contact record; convert an email address into a professional profile (reverse lookup); verify email deliverability; search and enrich company data by name or domain; and check your API credit usage. All 15 tools are callable in plain English — your AI picks the right one automatically.

What is the reverse email lookup tool?

Two tools in ContactOut MCP do reverse lookup that no competitor currently offers via MCP. Profile from Email takes any email address and returns the person's full professional profile — name, title, company, phone number, and more. Profile URL from Email returns just the profile URL from an email address. Both are especially useful in automated workflows: when an inbound lead submits a form with their email, your n8n workflow can instantly enrich that email into a full contact record before your rep even opens the notification.

How accurate is ContactOut's data?

ContactOut maintains 97% email accuracy, validated across multiple sources and continuously refreshed — not scraped guesses or predicted email formats. Every result returned via MCP includes a verification status so your AI knows exactly what's confirmed before it acts on it.

Can I use ContactOut MCP in n8n or Make workflows?

Yes — this is one of the most popular use cases. Paste the MCP URL into an n8n AI Agent node or Make MCP module, authenticate with your API key, and connect it to any trigger. Common workflows include enriching new HubSpot or Salesforce contacts, bulk-enriching CSVs, weekly CRM data hygiene runs, and building ICP prospect lists on a schedule. No code required. See the n8n integration guide.

What is People Count and why does it matter?

People Count is a ContactOut MCP tool that checks how many profiles match your search criteria before you run a full search. This prevents your AI from accidentally burning hundreds of credits on a 50,000-row result set you didn't expect. It's especially valuable in automated n8n workflows where you want to gate a large search before executing it. No other MCP data server offers this as a native tool.

What counts as a credit?

One credit is consumed per successful contact reveal — meaning when a verified email or phone number is unlocked. Profile searches, company lookups, People Count queries, and email verifications that don't unlock new contact information do not consume credits. Credit volumes are included in your plan — book a demo to discuss what's right for your team size and use case.

Is ContactOut MCP GDPR and CCPA compliant?

Yes. ContactOut processes data in compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy regulations. All professional data is sourced from publicly available professional profiles. Data processing agreements (DPAs) are available for enterprise customers. ContactOut does not collect private or sensitive personal data and does not scrape behind login-protected areas.

How is ContactOut MCP different from Apollo MCP or Lusha MCP?

Three things set ContactOut apart. First, database size — 600M+ verified profiles vs Apollo's 230M and Lusha's 100M. Second, unique tools — ContactOut is the only MCP server with a native reverse email lookup (email to profile), a Decision Makers tool, and a People Count tool; none of these exist as native MCP tools elsewhere. Third, it works natively with n8n and Make via a direct MCP URL, whereas Apollo only supports Zapier for automation.
