How It Works

Until now, you probably found contacts by opening RocketReach, entering some criteria to find contacts, and eventually copying data to another system. With the MCP connection, your AI assistant can do it all: search, lookup, action, and more.

Example:

You're in Claude drafting brainstorming a new campaign. You type: "We need more customers like Acme Corp." Claude may ask clarifying questions or use your context to guide its research then show you suggestions. You might continue by asking, “What job titles should we target for outreach? Pick three relevant contacts per company and give me contact info.” Claude connects to your RocketReach account, gathers the relevant data, and shares it back to you in Claude.

👉 If you’re an AI early adopter, odds are you're already using chat-based AI to explore business ideas. Now you can seamlessly develop and test those ideas with no app-hopping.

Core Capabilities:

  • Search people and companies
  • Lookup new contact information
  • Lookup company details
  • Check your account’s current plan and credit balance

What the AI cannot do:

The connected AI tool has a limited, safe scope of actions to help you with prospecting. Within RocketReach, it cannot change your account or plan, make purchases, send emails, or delete anything.

*If you have connected other tools and accounts to your AI, it may be able to use those tools to accomplish tasks in other platforms (not RocketReach) like creating tasks, making notes in your CRM, adding to an email campaign, etc.

 


What Can You Ask the AI To Do?

AI tools offer unlimited flexibility and adaptability to support you in whatever way you need. You can chat with AI to build a persona from scratch, or simply ask it to fetch for you.

If you want... Example prompt
A person's contact info "Get me the email for Jane Smith at Salesforce"
A list of prospects "Find CTOs at fintech companies in New York"
Company details "Look up Acme Corp — size, industry, HQ"
Your account status "How many lookup credits do I have left?"

💡 EXPERT TIP:  Most AI engines will use the full context of your chat to decide when to utilize your connected tools. So it’s not necessary, but you can optionally include the simple phrase “ask RocketReach” anywhere in your chat message to ensure the AI uses verified data from RocketReach.

🤖 Looking for even more powerful processing and/or automation? Claude Code with access to the RocketReach MCP can be configured to continuously monitor for new leads, regularly deliver pipeline, integrate data between your systems, and more. Technical teams please refer to the full documentation here.


How MCP Uses Credits

One contact with verified email/phone will consume one credit. MCP counts as an export activity, so it will use Export Credits if your plan includes Export Credits (e.g. annual-billing plans with Unlimited Lookup Credits).

Your AI-driven lookups are automatically saved to My Contacts with a tag so you can find them later.  Learn More

💡 IMPORTANT:  Most AI tools will ask you to confirm before consuming credits, although some tools may offer an "Always Allow" setting. Selecting "Always Allow" is convenient because you will receive fewer interruptions from the AI tool; however, do not choose this option if you care about strict control of RocketReach credits.

Due to the nature of the product/service, it is not possible to receive a refund or replacement for credits that are accidentally used via MCP.
