Install

How do I install the PeopleSearch.im MCP server?

PeopleSearch.im is a hosted endpoint at https://peoplesearch.im/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,331 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
check_credits ~42

Return the current credit balance for the API key making the request. Free and read-only. Use it before a large find_people call to confirm there are enough credits.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

company_search ~70

Search a global company database in plain English (for example 'Series B fintech companies in London with 50-200 employees') and get matching companies with industry, size, location and website. Searching companies is FREE and spends no credits.

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyesThe companies you want, in plain English.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

fetch_email ~129

Look up the verified professional (work) email for a person you have already unlocked with find_people (or reveal_profile). Pass their `id`. Spends 1 credit, refunded automatically if no email is found. The lookup is live: if it returns emailStatus 'searching', call fetch_email again with the same id (no extra charge) to collect the result once it resolves. Returns a professional address, never a personal one; not every person has a findable work email.

NameTypeReqDescription
profile_idstringyesThe `id` of a person returned by find_people (or reveal_profile).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_company_emails ~111

Given a company domain or name, return the contactable role-based email addresses discovered for that organization (such as contact@, sales@, support@), each with a confidence level. Use this for reaching a company inbox, not a specific named person (for a named person use find_people or find_linkedin_profile). Spends 2 credits, refunded if none are found.

NameTypeReqDescription
domain_or_companystringyesA company domain (preferred, e.g. acme.com) or company name.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_linkedin_profile ~104

Find the LinkedIn profile URL for a named person. Provide their first and last name; adding the company or domain sharply improves the match. Spends 2 credits, refunded if no confident match is found.

NameTypeReqDescription
company_or_domainstringOptional but recommended: the company name or domain they work at, to disambiguate common names.
first_namestringyesThe person's first name.
last_namestringyesThe person's last name.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_people ~198

The list-building tool. Re-runs a plain-English people search and unlocks up to `count` full profiles in ONE atomic charge: 1 credit per newly unlocked person, and anyone you already own is free. Returns each person's real name, title, company, location, LinkedIn URL and an `id`. Emails are NOT fetched here (that is a separate credit): after unlocking, call fetch_email with each person's `id` to get their verified work email. WARNING for autonomous use: this can spend up to `count` credits in a single call, so choose `count` deliberately and confirm with the user before large batches. Returns an out-of-credits error instead of overspending.

NameTypeReqDescription
countintegerHow many people to unlock, 1-100 (default 25). Spends up to this many credits.
querystringyesWho you want, in plain English (same grammar as people_search).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_company ~65

Turn a LinkedIn company URL into firmographic data: industry, size, location and website. Spends 1 credit, refunded if the company cannot be retrieved.

NameTypeReqDescription
linkedin_company_urlstringyesA LinkedIn company URL, e.g. https://linkedin.com/company/…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_linkedin_profile ~68

Turn a LinkedIn profile URL into clean structured data: name, current role and company, and location. Spends 2 credits, refunded if the profile cannot be retrieved.

NameTypeReqDescription
linkedin_urlstringyesA LinkedIn profile URL, e.g. https://linkedin.com/in/…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

people_search ~189

Search a global professional database in plain English (for example 'Heads of Marketing at Series B SaaS in New York') and get a sample of matching people plus the true total match count. Results are masked previews (a masked name, role, industry, company size and location) and each one carries an opaque `token`. Searching is FREE and spends no credits: use it to validate that the right people exist before you pay. To get a person's real name, LinkedIn and verified email, pass their token to reveal_profile, or use find_people to unlock a batch in one call.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerHow many masked previews to return (1-25, default 10). This does not limit the reported total.
querystringyesWho you are looking for, in plain English. Include role, seniority, industry, company stage/size, and location as needed.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

reveal_profile ~187

Unlock ONE person from a people_search result. Pass the `token` from that result. Spends 1 credit and returns the full profile: real name, current title and company, location and LinkedIn URL. Set `include_email` to true to also look up their verified professional (work) email in the same call, which spends 1 more credit that is refunded if no email is found. Revealing the same person again is free (idempotent). The email is looked up live and may take a moment: if it returns emailStatus 'searching', call reveal_profile again with the same token (no extra charge) to collect it.

NameTypeReqDescription
include_emailbooleanAlso fetch the person's verified professional email (a second credit, refunded if none is found). Default false.
tokenstringyesThe opaque `token` of a person returned by people_search.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

reverse_email_lookup ~86

Turn a professional email address into the real person behind it and their LinkedIn profile. Best for work emails; free-mailbox addresses often have no public profile to match. Spends 13 credits (this is the single most expensive lookup), refunded automatically if no match is found.

NameTypeReqDescription
emailstringyesThe email address to identify, e.g. jordan@acme.com.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verify_email ~82

Check whether an email address exists and is safe to send to, before it bounces. Returns a deliverability verdict (deliverable, undeliverable, or unknown) without sending anything. Spends 1 credit, refunded if no verdict can be reached.

NameTypeReqDescription
emailstringyesThe email address to verify, e.g. jordan@acme.com.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
