Prospect database plus email sequences, dialer and CRM enrichment in one tool. Apollo MCP connects it to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients, using your Apollo credits for enrichment.
Billed annually, Apollo lists Free ($0, 900 credits per seat per year granted monthly), Basic ($49 per seat/month), Professional ($79) and Organization ($119, minimum 3 seats). Annual billing saves 24% versus monthly. Prices exclude taxes. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
Apollo MCP is available as built-in connectors (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Replit, Cursor) or a standalone remote server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth. It needs available credits for enrichment, and Apollo requires model training to be turned off in the AI client. source ↗
How Apollo.io connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Not documented Apollo.io has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but Apollo.io's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.

Sales, CRM & outreach Prospect data
Via its official MCP server, from MCP-capable platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini (Google), Google Antigravity, OpenAI Codex.
Via its API, through automation hubs: Gumloop, Make, n8n, Zapier.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Spreadsheet-style enrichment that pulls from many data providers and AI research steps (Claygent) to build target lists. Its MCP server lets AI assistants and IDEs run Clay's find-and-enrich tools for a signed-in user.
LinkedIn's prospecting tool for finding and tracking buyers by company and role. Its API is limited to Sales Navigator Application Platform partners, and LinkedIn is not accepting new partners; no official MCP server found.
