## Capabilities

### Enriching Company Profiles
It pulls over 100 firmographic data points and professional background details for any company you specify.

### Tracking Buying Signals
Your agent monitors real-time intent signals and detects job changes within your target accounts so you know exactly when to reach out.

### Verifying Contact Emails
It runs waterfall email verification, confirming an address is deliverable and accurate using natural language commands.

### Searching Contacts
You can search for people across your target accounts based on specific criteria to find key decision-makers quickly.

### Managing Lead Lists
The MCP lets you access, list, and create organized lead lists so all your prospects stay in one place.

## Use Cases

### Starting a campaign on an old account.
A team member needs to re-engage a key client but can't remember who the current decision-maker is. They ask their agent to 'find_job_changes' for that company, and it immediately reports that the VP of Engineering changed last week, providing a fresh contact name and title.

### Qualifying a list before outreach.
Before sending emails to 50 prospects, an SDR uses 'lookup_email' on the entire batch. The MCP runs waterfall verification, filtering out all addresses that aren't deliverable and saving hours of manual cleanup.

### Deep-diving into a single prospect.
An AE is given a name and company. They ask their agent to 'enrich_person'. The MCP returns the person's role, past employers, current tech stack, and even flags a recent buying signal related to scaling infrastructure.

### Building out new pipeline segments.
A marketer needs data for a new vertical. They use 'search_people' with specific criteria (e.g., 'FinTech' + 'CTO') and then run 'enrich_company' on the resulting accounts to build a highly qualified list.

## Benefits

- You stop manual research. Instead of switching between multiple tabs to find a company's size or tech stack, you just ask your agent for it and get over 100 firmographic data points instantly.
- Your outreach hits harder because you know when to message. The MCP tracks job changes using tools like 'find_job_changes', letting you reach new decision-makers the moment they start a new role.
- You save time on bad emails. Using 'verify_email' or 'lookup_email' ensures that every contact you try to reach actually has an accurate, deliverable work email address.
- Your pipeline stays organized and clean. You can use tools like 'list_lead_lists' and 'create_lead_list' to keep your prospect data structured and ready for campaigns.
- You always know what matters most. The MCP monitors buying signals through the 'get_signals' tool, telling you which accounts are showing active interest—the absolute highest priority leads.
