Perplexity

Run Claude Code lead generation pipelines

The `search_contacts` tool lets you run terminal-based lead generation pipelines without a GUI. Run a quick query, and the agent pulls filtered lists of decision-makers, piping the raw output directly into your terminal tools. You can chain these commands with standard bash utilities. It makes pulling fresh lead data as simple as running a curl command, but with the added intelligence of an agent handling the filtering.

Enrich raw datasets in headless environments

The `bulk_enrich` tool allows you to run automated dataset cleaning in headless environments. The MCP integration uses this tool to process lists of email addresses, updating job titles and phone numbers automatically on a schedule. Because it runs headlessly, you can schedule these scripts to run overnight. The agent can check your balance with `get_credits` first, ensuring your automated jobs never fail due to exhausted limits.

Look up corporate data via quick CLI prompts

The `find_company` tool fetches corporate data via quick CLI prompts. Ask the CLI to check a domain, and it outputs employee counts, industry categories, and HQ locations directly to your standard output. If you need a specific contact, the MCP tool calls `find_person` to grab their direct phone line and corporate email. It is the fastest way to get verified B2B intelligence without opening a browser.
