Instead of manually searching for company emails or clicking through dozens of profiles, you can just ask your agent to find the right contact for a specific company. It pulls professional emails, checks if they're actually deliverable, and even grabs extra details like job titles and social links to build out your lead list. You manage your entire CRM directly through the chat, moving leads between folders or updating contact info without ever leaving your workspace. Since Vinkius hosts this Connector, you get a reliable way to connect these capabilities to your existing AI workflow. It takes the friction out of lead generation by letting you focus on the conversation while the agent handles the data fetching and verification. You see how many credits you have left and organize your leads into different lists without switching windows. It makes the process of finding and verifying people feel like a natural part of your conversation. You no longer have to worry about bounced emails or outdated contact information because the data is pulled fresh from the source. Whether you are looking for one specific person or trying to map out an entire company, the agent does the heavy lifting. This changes a tedious research task into a simple command. ## Tools ### search_domain_emails Find all professional emails for a specific company domain.

You can skip the manual copy and paste process by asking your agent to save a contact as you find them. **Can the Hunter MCP verify if an email is safe to send to?** Yes, it provides a deliverability check and a confidence score. This gives you the green light to proceed with your outreach safely. **Does the Hunter MCP show me my remaining credits?** Yes, you can ask your agent to check your account usage at any time. It will tell you how many searches and verifications you have left for the month. **Can I use the Hunter MCP to find emails for a whole company?** Yes, it can perform a domain search to find all professional emails associated with a specific company or domain. **Can I find all professional email addresses for a specific company?** Yes. Use `search_domain_emails` with a domain (e.g., 'stripe.com') or company name (e.g., 'Stripe') to retrieve all professional emails found for that organization. Each result includes the email, confidence score, position, and source URLs. Use `get_domain_email_count` to preview how many emails are available before using search credits. **Can I verify if an email address is valid before sending outreach?** Yes. The `verify_email_address` tool checks the validity and deliverability of any email address. It returns a status (deliverable, undeliverable, risky, unknown), confidence score, and details about the email server (MX records, SMTP check, accept-all detection). This prevents bounces and protects your sender reputation. **How does Hunter API authentication work?** Hunter uses an API Key passed as a query parameter (`?api_key=YOUR_KEY`) in all requests to `api.hunter.io/v2`. This differs from the typical Bearer token pattern. Your API key is available in the Hunter dashboard under Account > API. Free accounts include 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.
