Frequently asked questions
How do I get an Apollo API Key?
Log in to your Apollo.io account, go to Settings > Integrations > API, and generate a new API key. Ensure you have the necessary permissions based on your plan.
Does searching for people consume credits?
Basic searching typically does not consume credits, but 'enriching' a contact to reveal their verified email or phone number will consume Apollo export credits according to your subscription plan.
Can I add contacts directly to my sequences?
Yes! Use the add_contact_to_sequence tool. You'll need the Contact IDs, the Sequence ID, and the ID of the email address you want to use for the outreach.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
