# Foxentry MCP > Foxentry lets you validate and clean messy data in real-time using your AI client. Check email addresses, phone numbers, and physical locations instantly to ensure every piece of information is accurate before it hits your CRM or marketing campaign. Lookup company registrations and name details right inside your workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** data-validation, email-verification, address-lookup, data-cleaning, api-integration, identity-verification ## Description You're collecting contact information from forms, spreadsheets, and web scrapes—and most of it is bad. Foxentry connects data intelligence directly into any AI client you use via the Vinkius catalog. Instead of manually checking lists for typos or dead accounts, your agent handles the heavy lifting. You ask it to verify a batch of leads, and it instantly checks if emails are active, if phone numbers match regional formats, and if physical addresses actually exist. It doesn't just confirm an email; it tells you if that domain is safe for outreach. Similarly, when you need business context, it fetches official company data using ID numbers. This process of validating everything—names, locations, and contacts—all happens through simple conversation with your AI client, making sure the data entering your systems is trustworthy. ## Tools ### check_foxentry_status Verifies that your connection to Foxentry is active and working correctly. ### format_phone Reformats a phone number into the correct international standard format. ### geocode_address Converts a physical address string into precise latitude and longitude coordinates. ### get_business_details Retrieves comprehensive official data for an established company using its identifying number. ### lookup_business Performs a foundational search to find basic business information based on identifiers or names. ### suggest_address Suggests and validates potential physical addresses based on partial user input. ### suggest_email Provides suggested email addresses for a given domain or name pattern. ### suggest_name Suggests potential full names and validates their components based on input patterns. ### validate_address Checks a physical address for accuracy and completeness, confirming it is deliverable. ### validate_email Tests an email address to confirm if the account exists and can receive mail. ### validate_name Verifies a person's name and confirms its structure or components. ### validate_phone Checks if a phone number is valid, identifies the country code, and suggests formatting improvements. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Verify the email 'john.doe@example.com'. ``` **Response:** ``` Verification complete!

It is safe for your campaign. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Lookup business data for registration number '12345678' in Czech Republic. ``` **Response:** ``` I've found the record.

It is identified as a mobile device. ``` ## Capabilities ### Validate contact information Checks if an email address is active or if a phone number is correctly formatted for its region. ### Enrich and standardize addresses Validates physical locations, corrects formatting issues, and retrieves structured geographic metadata like zip codes. ### Research corporate details Pulls official registration names, primary industries, and verified addresses for companies using government ID numbers. ### Analyze personal identities Verifies person names and automatically identifies components like gender or professional degrees. ## Use Cases ### Cleaning a massive lead list A Marketing Ops Manager dumps 5,000 raw contacts into the AI agent. The agent runs validate_email and validate_phone on every entry, instantly flagging duplicates, invalid formats, and non-existent accounts so she can focus only on high-quality leads. ### Onboarding a new client A Sales Rep needs to verify a potential partner's existence. They ask the agent to lookup_business using the provided ID, which returns official registration details and the company’s primary industry in seconds. ### Standardizing billing data An Admin staff member is reconciling vendor records from different departments. The agent uses validate_address to check every physical location against a global registry, ensuring all addresses are formatted correctly for invoicing. ### Building structured profiles A developer needs to test data integrity. They use the suggest_name and validate_name tools together, letting the agent confirm not just that 'John Smith' is a name, but also its components (first, last) for database entry. ## Benefits - Stop sending leads to dead ends. Use validate_email or validate_phone to confirm that contacts are actually active before your outreach campaign starts. - Get real geographic context without leaving the chat. The geocode_address tool converts a street address into precise lat/long coordinates for mapping tools. - Never deal with ambiguous company data again. lookup_business fetches official registration details and industry classifications, giving you immediate credibility. - Keep your CRM clean by automating validation steps. Instead of running separate scripts, run validate_name or suggest_address directly through conversation. - Save hours on manual formatting. Tools like format_phone automatically standardize phone numbers to global standards, eliminating regional errors. ## How It Works The bottom line is that instead of switching between validation tools and databases, you get all the necessary verification power in one chat window. 1. First, you connect your Foxentry API key to your preferred AI client through the Vinkius catalog. 2. Next, you prompt your agent with a request, like 'Validate this list of leads' or 'Find details for this company ID'. 3. The MCP executes the necessary checks and returns structured, verified data directly into your conversation thread. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What types of data can Foxentry validate?** It validates emails, phone numbers, physical addresses, and person names.
