How to Use the Lusha MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I search for companies by domain name?

Yes. The agent uses the findcompany tool to grab firmographic data, employee counts, and headquarters locations using just a domain name.

Stop copying emails. Let Cascade run this MCP Server to pull verified phone numbers and build prospect lists directly inside Windsurf.

Automate Windsurf prospect lookups

The `find_person` tool lets Cascade search for contact details and chain commands to find leads while you write code. When you ask it to build an outbound campaign, it doesn't just write the template; it runs the lookup to pull the actual decision-maker's contact details and writes their specific info right into your draft. You don't have to copy-paste names from a browser tab. Windsurf handles the multi-step execution, querying the Lusha MCP Server to verify details and keeping your sales pipeline populated without breaking your focus.

Fast-track list cleaning with bulk enrichment

The `bulk_enrich` tool lets Cascade scan your raw CSV files or database exports inside the IDE to update outdated job titles and missing email addresses on the fly. You get clean, actionable data without manual pipeline management. It writes the updated data straight back to your local files. If you run low on API limits, Cascade checks `get_credits` first so you never get hit with unexpected execution halts during a run.

Turn LinkedIn profiles into clean code variables

The `find_by_linkedin` tool maps LinkedIn profiles to backend contact data directly inside Windsurf. The agent calls the tool via the MCP integration to pull the profile's backend data, giving you direct access to phone numbers and corporate emails without manual scraping. Since Windsurf runs these tools in the background, you can immediately pipe those details into your test suites or seed files. It turns manual research into a background task that executes while you work on other files.

Common questions about Lusha MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf connects directly to the server via your local configuration file. Once the MCP connection is established, Cascade gets access to all six search and enrichment tools, allowing it to pull contact data autonomously during your chats.

Yes. Cascade is built for autonomous execution, meaning it can chain tools like `search_contacts` and `find_company` to compile a full lead list based on a single high-level goal you set.

Yes, you need an active API key. The agent uses your credits to run queries, and you can have Cascade run `get_credits` at any time to see how many lookups you have left.

Yes. The agent uses the `find_company` tool to grab firmographic data, employee counts, and headquarters locations using just a domain name.

Your data stays private. Vinkius runs the server in an isolated sandbox, meaning your API keys and the retrieved B2B contact details—like direct-dial phone numbers and corporate emails—never touch external logs or training sets.
