Provides integration between the Hunter API and any LLM provider supporting the MCP protocol. Lets you query Hunter B2B data (people, companies, leads) through natural-language tools.
https://github.com/hunter-io/hunter-mcpYou're in the middle of building, analyzing, or strategizing, and you need to quickly verify an email, find contacts at a company, or pull B2B data. Instead of opening another tab, logging into Hunter, and manually searching, just ask your AI assistant.
The Hunter MCP server brings Hunter.io's B2B database directly into your LLM workflow. No API calls to write, no dashboard to navigate – just natural language queries that get you the data you need without breaking your flow.
Instead of this workflow:
You get this:
All within your existing AI conversation, with full context of what you're working on.
This isn't just about finding emails – it's about seamless B2B intelligence that fits into how you actually work:
Prospect Research: "Pull all contacts from three competitors and analyze their team structure" – get comprehensive data without manual hunting across multiple domains.
Lead Qualification: "Verify these 20 email addresses from my outreach list and sort by deliverability confidence" – bulk operations through natural language instead of CSV uploads.
Competitive Intelligence: "Find the leadership team at [company] and enrich their profiles with current roles" – comprehensive research in one request.
Pipeline Management: "Save all verified contacts from today's research as leads with the tag 'Q4-outreach'" – data flows directly into your Hunter leads without manual entry.

Core Hunter Tools:
Natural Language Interface: Instead of learning Hunter's API parameters, just describe what you need. The MCP server handles the translation between your intent and Hunter's endpoints.
If you're building anything that touches B2B data – CRM integrations, lead generation tools, sales automation, or market research platforms – this server turns your AI assistant into a B2B data research partner.
Debug API integrations by quickly verifying test data, validate prospect lists without leaving your IDE, or research competitive landscapes while planning features. The data flows naturally into your existing development conversations.
The Hunter MCP server eliminates the friction between needing B2B data and getting it. If you're already using Hunter.io and working with MCP-compatible AI tools, this integration will save you dozens of context switches every week.
Get started with the Hunter MCP server and bring B2B intelligence directly into your AI workflow.
