Before you connect
Questions about Hunter.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Does the Hunter MCP help with cold email deliverability?
Yes, it checks if emails are real before you send them. This helps ensure your messages land in the inbox instead of the spam folder.
Can I use the Hunter MCP to find specific people?
Yes, you can ask your agent to find a specific person by name and company. It will pull the most likely email address for that individual.
How does the Hunter MCP save me time on CRM entry?
It saves leads directly to your Hunter CRM. You can skip the manual copy and paste process by asking your agent to save a contact as you find them.
Can the Hunter MCP verify if an email is safe to send to?
Yes, it provides a deliverability check and a confidence score. This gives you the green light to proceed with your outreach safely.
Does the Hunter MCP show me my remaining credits?
Yes, you can ask your agent to check your account usage at any time. It will tell you how many searches and verifications you have left for the month.
Can I use the Hunter MCP to find emails for a whole company?
Yes, it can perform a domain search to find all professional emails associated with a specific company or domain.
Can I find all professional email addresses for a specific company?
Yes. Use search_domain_emails with a domain (e.g., 'stripe.com') or company name (e.g., 'Stripe') to retrieve all professional emails found for that organization. Each result includes the email, confidence score, position, and source URLs. Use get_domain_email_count to preview how many emails are available before using search credits.
Can I verify if an email address is valid before sending outreach?
Yes. The verify_email_address capability checks the validity and deliverability of any email address. It returns a status (deliverable, undeliverable, risky, unknown), confidence score, and details about the email server (MX records, SMTP check, accept-all detection). This prevents bounces and protects your sender reputation.
How does Hunter API authentication work?
Hunter uses an API Key passed as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) in all requests to api.hunter.io/v2. This differs from the typical Bearer token pattern. Your API key is available in the Hunter dashboard under Account > API. Free accounts include 25 searches and 50 verifications per month.
