Perplexity

Automated prospect research in Claude Desktop

Stop digging through LinkedIn for hours. Your agent uses `search_people` and `enrich_person` to pull current job titles, company data, and contact info directly into your workspace. Everything happens in the background while you focus on messaging. You get accurate, ready-to-use profiles without ever switching tabs.

Signal-based list management

Build high-intent pipelines by running `get_signals` to see who is actually active. You can organize these prospects immediately using `create_lead_list` and `get_lead_list`. Keep your outreach efforts clean. The MCP server ensures you only spend time on accounts that show real potential for a deal.

Verified email outreach

Don't waste time on dead addresses. Use `lookup_email` and `verify_email` to confirm deliverability before you send a single message. This workflow clears out the noise. Your AI client validates every contact in real-time, keeping your domain reputation high and your bounce rates low.
