Write lead generation scripts with this MCP Server

This MCP Server runs `find_email_by_linkedin` and `find_linkedin_by_email` to fetch live production data inside Cursor while you write your code. Your coding agent tests the logic against real LinkedIn profiles instantly. You see exactly how the API responds, making it much faster to debug your outreach pipelines.

Build and test company databases inline

This server runs `search_companies` and `enrich_company` to find target organizations and populate your database schemas with real-time firmographics. You can build custom scraping scripts with this MCP tool. This eliminates the need to run separate terminal commands or curl requests. The agent fetches the corporate data and writes it directly into your JSON files or database migrations.

Enrich developer contacts as you code

This server runs `enrich_contact` and `search_people` to pull real professional profiles into your active Cursor code buffer. You can also track your development costs easily. The agent runs `get_api_usage` to show you how many query credits your test suite is consuming.
