Connect Apollo to your AI
Credentials off one Apollo screen, then an endpoint your client signs into. Nothing to deploy, and nothing to install.
Paste your API key from Apollo's Settings → Integrations → API → API Keys. Enable master key: People Search, creating accounts, deals, tasks and calls, and sequence adds all need it. It stays locked to that one account.

Read-only suits a research agent. For write access, keep approval required so a bulk contact update, an owner reassignment or a stop on a live sequence waits for a human. The full catalog toggle exposes everything else.

Drop the PopMCP URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or any other supported client. It signs in through PopMCP with OAuth, so your Apollo credential never leaves the server.

FAQ
Apollo MCP server questions
What teams ask before putting Apollo behind an AI client.
Do I need an Apollo master key?
For most of the interesting calls, yes. People Search, creating accounts, deals, tasks and calls, adding contacts to sequences, and the config lists all require a master key. Enable that option when you create the key in Apollo at Settings → Integrations → API → API Keys. Without it those endpoints refuse the call, while the rest of the catalog keeps working.
Does it search Apollo's prospect database or only the records already in my CRM?
Both, through different tools. search_people and search_organizations query Apollo's database of people and companies, while search_contacts and search_accounts only read what is already saved in your account. enrich_person and enrich_organization then fill in a match with a verified email, optionally a phone, and company detail such as industry, headcount, revenue and technologies. Note that People Search is one of the master-key endpoints.
How many records can the agent create or update in one call?
bulk_update_accounts is capped at 1000 accounts per call, and bulk_create_contacts, bulk_create_accounts and bulk_update_contacts also take many records at a time. Enrichment is tighter: bulk_enrich_people matches up to 10 people and bulk_enrich_organizations enriches up to 10 companies per call. Ownership and stage moves have their own batch tools in update_contact_owners, update_account_owners, update_contact_stages and update_account_stages.
How do I check the rate limits on my Apollo API key?
Ask the agent for the key's usage stats. view_api_usage_stats reports, per endpoint, the per-minute, per-hour and per-day limit alongside how much has been consumed and what is left. Worth running before a large enrichment run or bulk update rather than after a job stalls. The limits belong to the key, so everything on that connection shares them.
Why are Apollo deals sometimes called opportunities?
Apollo's underlying API resource is the opportunity, but the tools here use deal language: create_deal, get_deal, list_deals, update_deal and list_deal_stages. There is no separately named opportunity tool, so ask in whichever word your team uses and it resolves to the same pipeline records.
Can the agent add and remove people from sequences?
Yes. search_sequences finds the sequence, add_contacts_to_sequence enrolls contacts, and remove_or_stop_contacts_in_sequence removes them, stops them, or marks them as finished. Adding contacts to a sequence is a master-key endpoint. Because these writes land in live outreach going to real prospects, it is the clearest case for leaving approval-required-for-writes switched on.
Do I have to run or host the Apollo MCP server myself?
No. PopMCP hosts it and gives you a Streamable HTTP MCP URL. There is nothing to deploy, no callback URL to register, and no infrastructure to keep running or patch.
Which AI clients can use this MCP server?
Any client that supports a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server — Claude Desktop, Claude Web, ChatGPT custom connectors, Codex and the Codex CLI, OpenCode and Z.ai's ZCode, as well as editors such as Cursor, Windsurf and Zed. Your client signs in to PopMCP with OAuth; the provider credential never leaves the server.
Why do only 31 of the 61 tools load by default?
Loading 61 tool definitions into every conversation burns context before the work starts. PopMCP loads a curated 31-tool set covering the everyday workflows and keeps the rest searchable, so your AI pulls a specialist tool only when a task needs it. You can switch a connection to the full catalog at any time.
What is the difference between a tool and a trigger?
A tool is something your AI calls — there are 61 here. A trigger is something PopMCP watches for you: 16 Apollo events that can start work on the PopMCP side. Triggers never enter your AI client's context, and none of them ask you to paste a callback URL into Apollo.
