What you can do with Anymail Finder MCP

Once connected, your assistant can use six Anymail Finder actions. You don't need to name them: ask for the result in plain language and it chooses the right one, chaining several when a request needs it.

Find a person's email

Give your assistant a name and a company or domain. A LinkedIn profile URL works on its own when you don't have the company. The email comes back verified against the recipient's mail server, not matched from a stored list.

You ask Find Jane Doe's email at acme.com.

1 credit when a verified email is found

Find a decision maker

When you know the company and the role but not the person. Your assistant names a department or job category and gets back the best match with their name, title and verified email.

You ask Who runs marketing at acme.com? Give me their verified email.

2 credits when a verified email is found

Find emails at a company

Finds up to 20 email addresses at a domain, including personal and generic addresses, in a single search.

You ask Which email addresses exist at acme.com?

1 credit per search when at least one email is found

Verify an email address

For addresses you already have. We check the mailbox live, including on catch-all domains, and return valid, invalid or risky.

You ask Is jane@acme.com still deliverable?

0.2 credits per address, whatever the result

Find the person behind an email

Got a signup, a reply or a lead with nothing but an email? Works with work and personal addresses like Gmail: you get the person's LinkedIn profile, with their name, job title and company when available.

You ask Who is behind jane@acme.com?

2 credits when a profile is found

Check your account

Your balance, plan, and the decision-maker categories your account can use. Assistants read this before a large batch so they can tell you whether it will fit.

You ask How many Anymail Finder credits do I have left?

Free

Every address a search returns is already verified, so there is nothing to re-check. If an address we returned bounces, your assistant can also report it for investigation, at no cost.

Example prompts for Anymail Finder MCP

No endpoints, no field names. Ask for what you want and the assistant decides which action to use, how many times, and how to present what comes back. Here are examples you can use directly, with placeholders for your own people, companies and lists.

• One person

  Find Jane Doe's work email at acme.com. One person search. 1 credit if a verified email is found, otherwise free.

• The right person at a company

  Who runs marketing at acme.com? Find their verified email address. A decision-maker search: role in, name, title and verified email out.

• Several companies at once

  Find the heads of engineering at these twelve companies and give me their verified emails. Tell me which companies you couldn't find anyone for: [company list] One decision-maker search per company, then the assistant assembles the answer and lists the misses.

• Build a prospect list

  Find the person responsible for sales at each of these companies. Return company, name and verified email in a table: [company list] The output format is yours to choose: a table, a CSV block, a paragraph.

• Fill the gaps in a list you already have

  Here is a list of people with their company domains. Find a verified email for each and return a table, keeping the rows where nothing was found: [list] People with no verified email cost nothing and stay in the table, so you can see what's missing.

• From LinkedIn

  Find the verified email for this person: linkedin.com/in/janedoe The profile URL is enough; you don't need the company.

• Verify a list

  Check these email addresses and split them into valid, risky and invalid: [email list] 0.2 credits per address. Useful before an outreach send.

• Who are these people?

  Here are this week's signups. For each email, find the person's LinkedIn, job title and company, and return a table: [email list] One lookup per address, 2 credits only for the ones found.

• Check before a big run

  Check my Anymail Finder credit balance, then tell me whether I have enough to find the marketing decision maker at these 20 companies. The account action is free, so assistants can read the balance before spending anything.

One thing not to ask: "find the email, then verify it". Search results are already verified, so the second step would charge 0.2 credits to confirm what the first step already confirmed. Your assistant is told this on connection, and will usually say so if you ask anyway.

How it works

1Connect once

Add the server URL to your assistant and approve the connection on our site, signed in to your account. The assistant never sees your password, and on assistants that support signing in there is no API key to copy either.

2Ask in plain language

Your assistant works out which Anymail Finder action it needs, sends the request, and uses the result in its answer. For larger requests it makes several calls and combines the results.

3Same engine, same credits

There is no separate set of "MCP emails". Every search runs on the same engine and the same live verification as the Anymail Finder app and API, charged from the same credits, and shows up in the same usage history.

A connection belongs to one workspace and can search, verify and read your balance. It cannot change your password, billing or team. You can see every connected app under Settings, Account, and disconnect any of them instantly. Connections expire on their own after twelve months.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients

Anymail Finder uses the open Model Context Protocol, so it can connect to assistants and tools that support remote MCP servers. Step-by-step setup for each one is in the Help Center.

Claude

Add Anymail Finder as a custom connector in Claude on the web and desktop, and in Claude Code. You sign in on our site; no API key is involved.

Set up Anymail Finder in Claude →

ChatGPT

Add it as a custom MCP connector and use it from ChatGPT conversations. Availability depends on your ChatGPT plan.

Set up Anymail Finder in ChatGPT →

Cursor

Add the server under Settings, MCP, and find or verify emails without leaving the editor. Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time.

Set up Anymail Finder in Cursor →

Other MCP clients

MCP clients that support remote HTTP servers can connect, including Windsurf, LibreChat and command-line assistants. Clients without sign-in support can use an API key instead.

What Anymail Finder MCP costs

Connecting is free. Your assistant spends the same credits as the rest of your account, at the same prices, and is told the exact amount of every call so it can tell you.

Action	Cost	When
Find a person's email	1 credit	Only if a verified email is found
Find a decision maker	2 credits	Only if a verified email is found
Find emails at a company	1 credit	Once per search, however many come back, only if at least one is found
Verify an email address	0.2 credits	Always, whatever the result
Find the person behind an email	2 credits	Only if a LinkedIn profile is found
Check your account	Free	Always

Searches that find nothing are free, and so are searches where we find candidates but cannot confirm they are deliverable. Anything you repeat within 30 days is free: the same search, the same lookup, or the same address verified again. Plans start at $29 per month, and every monthly plan begins with a 7-day trial that gives you 100 credits right away. See pricing →

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Anymail Finder MCP?

Anymail Finder MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server, hosted by Anymail Finder, that AI assistants connect to. Once connected, an assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can find a person's verified work email, find a decision maker at a company, list a company's email addresses, verify an address you already have, find the person behind an email, and read your credit balance, all from a normal conversation and using your Anymail Finder credits.

Do I need an API key?

Usually not. Assistants that support signing in, including Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT, open a browser window on our site where you approve the connection; no key is copied anywhere. Assistants that cannot sign in can pass an API key from Settings, API as a header instead.

Is it as capable as the API?

It uses the same search engine and live verification as the app and the API, rather than a separate MCP dataset. What it does not cover is the bulk side: uploading a file of 100,000 rows or receiving results by webhook. For one-off lookups and lists your assistant can work through in a conversation, it is the same product; for large files, use Bulk in the app or the Bulk API.

Should I ask it to verify the emails it finds?

Every address a search returns has already been verified in real time, including on catch-all domains. Verifying it again costs 0.2 credits and tells you nothing new. Your assistant is told this when it connects, so it should not suggest it; if you ask anyway, it will usually point this out.

What can a connected assistant do with my account?

A connection can search, verify and read your plan and balance. It cannot change your password, your billing or your team, and it never sees your password. Every connected app is listed under Settings, Account, with the workspace it uses and when it was last active, and you can disconnect any of them instantly. Connections expire on their own after twelve months.

How long does a search take?

Most finish in a few seconds; a difficult search can take up to three minutes while we verify candidates live. Your assistant waits for the result. If a slow search is cut off on a poor network, asking again is free for 30 days.
