Perplexity

Inject verified prospect data into Cursor

`search_people` pulls live, verified lead data directly into your active code files or Cursor chat. This MCP tool lets you fetch a list of engineering directors and populate your JSON arrays with real contact records. For deeper targeting, `search_companies` finds organizations by size, location, and industry right from your workspace. This allows you to build programmatic prospecting scripts that run against real-time data instead of static, stale CSV files.

Enrich company and contact files in real time

`enrich_company_data` retrieves deep organizational profiles including funding history and technology stacks directly inside Cursor. You can direct the agent to read a list of domain names in your project and fill in the missing company metadata. To get individual contact details, `enrich_person_data` fetches direct phone numbers, personal emails, and social handles. This gives your agent the exact context needed to write hyper-targeted outreach templates using this MCP connection.

Manage outbound sequences from your code editor

`add_to_sequence` registers new contacts into your active sales flows using Cursor's agent execution. You write a script to validate a lead, and the editor automatically pushes them into your outbound campaign. To choose the right sequence, `list_sales_sequences` returns all your active email flows directly to the editor. This lets you map specific developer personas to their corresponding campaigns without leaving your workspace.
