ProspectAPIs

prospectapis-mcp

prospectapis-mcp is the MCP server for ProspectAPIs, built for sales teams and their AI agents in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients. It gives your agent fourteen tools over the ProspectAPIs API: search funding rounds by date, round, amount, company, investor and country, get new matching rounds pushed to your webhook, and order a cited research brief on any company or person. Every funding record carries the URL where the round was announced, when there is one. Records cost $0.02 each after 100 free a month, a completed brief costs $0.15, and there are no seats, no subscription and no card to sign up. It needs Node.js 22 or later.

Install (Claude Code): claude mcp add prospectapis -e PROSPECTAPIS_API_KEY=pa_live_... -- npx -y prospectapis-mcp

Other clients: run npx -y prospectapis-mcp with PROSPECTAPIS_API_KEY from https://prospectapis.com

Tool	Endpoint	Cost
funding_search	GET /v1/funding	$0.02 per record returned, after 100 free records a month; no match is free
funding_get	GET /v1/funding/:id	$0.02 when found; a missing id is free
research_submit	POST /v1/research	one research at research_price_usd (see account_balance), charged only when the brief completes; refunded on failure
research_get	GET /v1/research/:id	free; poll until status is completed or failed
watchlist_create, watchlist_list, watchlist_get, watchlist_deliveries, watchlist_test, watchlist_delete	/v1/watchlists	free to manage; a delivered event costs one record, only when your webhook answers 2xx
account_balance	GET /v1/account	free
feedback_send	POST /v1/feedback	free; reports a bug, wrong field or missing capability to the team (10 an hour per key)
pricing_get	GET /pricing	free, no key needed; the live price list
api_version	GET /v1/version	free, no key needed

funding_search filters: since, until (YYYY-MM-DD), round (comma list such as seed,series_a), min_amount_usd, max_amount_usd, company, domain, investor, country, limit (1 to 100) and cursor (the previous page's next_cursor, passed back unchanged).

research_submit takes exactly one prospect identifier (domain, website_url, company_name, company_linkedin_url, a work email or linkedin_url), or person_name with company_name, plus an optional context (your own product, at most 1,000 characters) and purpose (account_research, pre_call or outreach). It returns a research_id at once; a brief takes 20 to 90 seconds.
