## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-apollo).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 6 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 57/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1786 tokens (~357/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (5)

### `apollo_search_organizations` (~553 tokens)

Requires a PAID Apollo plan (the free plan answers 403). Search Apollo's company database by industry, headcount, HQ location, technologies used, and funding. BYOK: pass your own Apollo _apiKey (Settings -> Integrations -> API in the Apollo app). Apollo cost: 1 Apollo credit per page of results (up to 100 results/page), billed to your account. Example: apollo_search_organizations({ industries: ["information technology & services"], employee_ranges: ["11,50"], locations: ["San Francisco, California, US"], _apiKey: "your-apollo-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Your Apollo API key. Get one at https://docs.apollo.io/docs/create-api-key.
- `domains` (array): Company domains, no protocol, e.g. ["apollo.io"].
- `employee_ranges` (array): Headcount ranges as "min,max" strings, e.g. ["1,10", "11,50"].
- `exclude_locations` (array): HQ locations to exclude.
- `industries` (array): Industry names, lowercase, exact match per Apollo's own taxonomy, e.g. ["information technology & services"]. Apollo does not publish a fixed enum via this API — look up exact spellings in the Apollo…
- `industry_tag_ids` (array): Apollo industry tag ids, if you already have them (alternative to `industries`).
- `keyword_tags` (array): Keywords associated with the company.
- `latest_funding_date_max` (string): Latest most-recent-funding-round date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `latest_funding_date_min` (string): Earliest most-recent-funding-round date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `locations` (array): Company HQ locations, e.g. ["San Francisco, California, US"].
- `page` (number): Page number, default 1.
- `per_page` (number): Results per page, default 10, max 100.
- `q_organization_name` (string): Company name, partial match accepted, e.g. "Pipeworx".
- `revenue_max` (number): Maximum annual revenue, in dollars.
- `revenue_min` (number): Minimum annual revenue, in dollars.
- `technologies` (array): Apollo technology UIDs currently in use, e.g. ["salesforce", "hubspot"]. Apollo supports 1,500+ of these; look them up in the Apollo UI's technology filter rather than guessing.
- `total_funding_max` (number): Maximum total funding raised, in dollars.
- `total_funding_min` (number): Minimum total funding raised, in dollars.

### `apollo_enrich_organization` (~214 tokens)

Enrich a single company by domain, website, or LinkedIn URL: industry, headcount, revenue, funding history, technologies in use, and more. BYOK: pass your own Apollo _apiKey. Apollo cost: 1 Apollo credit per organization enriched. Example: apollo_enrich_organization({ domain: "apollo.io", _apiKey: "your-apollo-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Your Apollo API key. Get one at https://docs.apollo.io/docs/create-api-key.
- `domain` (string): Company domain, no protocol/www, e.g. "apollo.io".
- `linkedin_url` (string): Company LinkedIn URL. Alternative to `domain`/`website`.
- `name` (string): Company name, to improve match accuracy. Cannot be used alone — pair with domain/website/linkedin_url.
- `website` (string): Full website URL, e.g. "http://www.apollo.io". Alternative to `domain`.

### `apollo_search_people` (~367 tokens)

Requires a PAID Apollo plan (the free plan answers 403). Search Apollo's people database by job title, seniority, and employer domain/org id. BYOK: pass your own Apollo _apiKey. Apollo cost: 0 credits — but this endpoint returns an OBFUSCATED last name and never an email or phone number; call apollo_enrich_person on a result to resolve a real contact. Example: apollo_search_people({ titles: ["VP of Sales"], seniorities: ["vp"], domains: ["apollo.io"], _apiKey: "your-apollo-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Your Apollo API key. Get one at https://docs.apollo.io/docs/create-api-key.
- `domains` (array): Employer domains, no protocol, e.g. ["apollo.io"].
- `organization_ids` (array): Apollo company ids (from apollo_search_organizations results).
- `organization_locations` (array): Employer's HQ location.
- `page` (number): Page number, default 1.
- `per_page` (number): Results per page, default 10, max 100.
- `person_locations` (array): Person's own location, e.g. ["California, US"].
- `q_keywords` (string): Free-text keyword search.
- `q_person_name` (string): Search by person name.
- `seniorities` (array): Apollo seniority levels: owner, founder, c_suite, partner, vp, head, director, manager, senior, entry, intern.
- `titles` (array): Job titles to match, e.g. ["VP of Sales", "Head of Growth"]. Matches on contained terms too (e.g. "marketing manager" also matches "content marketing manager").

### `apollo_enrich_person` (~381 tokens)

Requires a PAID Apollo plan (the free plan answers 403). Enrich one specific person by email, LinkedIn URL, or name+domain/organization: title, seniority, department, employer, and (if your account has unlocked it) a work email. BYOK: pass your own Apollo _apiKey — this returns data your OWN Apollo licence already covers; Pipeworx caches nothing. Apollo cost: 1 credit if email/demographic data is found, +8 more only for a mobile phone (not requested by this tool, see `note` in the response), 0 if nothing matches. NOT implemented: phone-number reveal (Apollo delivers it asynchronously to a webhook, which this stateless tool call cannot receive). Example: apollo_enrich_person({ name: "Patrick Collison", domain: "stripe.com", _apiKey: "your-apollo-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Your Apollo API key. Get one at https://docs.apollo.io/docs/create-api-key.
- `domain` (string): Employer domain, e.g. "stripe.com". Helps disambiguate a common name.
- `email` (string): Person's email address, if known.
- `first_name` (string): First name (pair with last_name).
- `last_name` (string): Last name (pair with first_name).
- `linkedin_url` (string): Person's LinkedIn profile URL.
- `name` (string): Person's full name, e.g. "Patrick Collison". Alternative to first_name+last_name.
- `organization_name` (string): Current or former employer NAME, e.g. "Stripe".
- `reveal_personal_emails` (boolean): Default false. If true, also attempts to reveal a personal (non-work) email, consuming Apollo credit accordingly.

### `apollo_org_job_postings` (~219 tokens)

List a company's current job postings (title, location, posted/last-seen dates) — a signal for headcount growth in a specific team. BYOK: pass your own Apollo _apiKey. Needs an Apollo `organization_id` (get one from apollo_search_organizations or apollo_enrich_organization first). Apollo cost: 1 Apollo credit per page, up to 10,000 postings total. Example: apollo_org_job_postings({ organization_id: "5e66b6381e05b4008c8331b8", _apiKey: "your-apollo-key" })

Input parameters:

- `_apiKey` (string, required): Your Apollo API key. Get one at https://docs.apollo.io/docs/create-api-key.
- `organization_id` (string, required): Apollo company id, e.g. from an apollo_search_organizations/apollo_enrich_organization result's `id` field.
- `page` (number): Page number.
- `per_page` (number): Results per page.

## Common questions

### What is the Apollo MCP server?

Apollo is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/apollo. Apollo.io MCP, company and people data via api.apollo.io, the caller's OWN Apollo account (fleet… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-apollo).

### Is the Apollo MCP server safe to use?

Apollo scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Apollo MCP server expose?

Apollo exposes 5 tools: apollo_search_organizations, apollo_enrich_organization, apollo_search_people, apollo_enrich_person, apollo_org_job_postings. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,734 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Apollo MCP server still maintained?

Apollo is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Apollo MCP server under?

Apollo declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
