LeadIQ MCP connector

The LeadIQ connector brings your saved contacts, companies, and prospect search to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent, so each rep searches and reviews prospects inside their own LeadIQ access, with every call logged.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases

What teams do with LeadIQ through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • Sales Development

    Build a call list before the morning block

  • Sales

    Research an account before a first call

    Pull up the LeadIQ company record and every contact saved against it, so the rep knows who else is in the room before the meeting starts.

    Search LeadIQ companies by size, industry, or location and hand the list to the campaign owner in the shape they asked for.

  • Account Management

    Find new contacts at an existing customer

    Search LeadIQ people at a customer company to spot new leaders or role changes that open a renewal or expansion conversation.

  • Partnerships

    Map the right people at a prospective partner

    Search LeadIQ for the partnerships, alliances, and channel contacts at a company before reaching out, instead of guessing from a website.

Tool Action Description
LeadIQ people search Search Look up one person by email, LinkedIn URL, or a name together with their company (name, or first_name and last_name, with company.name or company.domain), and return their profile. Always includes a work email when LeadIQ has one. Personal emails and phone numbers (work and personal) are included only when requested via with_personal_emails/with_phones, to control cost. Returns at most one result.
LeadIQ companies search Search Look up one company by domain, LinkedIn URL, or name (an identity lookup, not a filtered search). Returns the first matching result, or zero results on a miss. For filtered company search use companies.list instead.
List all LeadIQ companies List Search companies by domain, name, employee-count range or country (GroupedAdvancedSearch). Returns only the company half of each grouped result; the people in each group are not read or billed by this method. Offset-paginated (skip/limit), capped at 10,000 combined per LeadIQ's docs.
List all LeadIQ contacts List Search people by title, seniority, company domain or location (FlatAdvancedSearch). Never selects email or phone fields, unlike the existing persons.list method -- use person.enrich for contact info. Offset-paginated (skip/limit), capped at 10,000 combined per LeadIQ's docs.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect LeadIQ to Claude?

Connect LeadIQ in Elaichi first by pasting your LeadIQ API key, which you copy from your LeadIQ account settings. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude signs you in as yourself and LeadIQ is ready to ask.

Does LeadIQ work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once LeadIQ is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect LeadIQ once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my LeadIQ data?

It can search LeadIQ for people by title, company, or location, search for companies by industry, size, or region, and list the contacts and companies already saved in your LeadIQ account. That means asking for a call list, researching an account before a meeting, or checking whether a company is already covered, all in plain language. Short, concrete asks such as "VPs of Sales at fintech companies in Boston" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting LeadIQ give the AI everything in my account?

No. Every call to LeadIQ runs as the person who signed in, so the agent sees only the contacts, companies, and searches that person can already see in LeadIQ. Elaichi can narrow that further with roles and restrictions, and it never widens it beyond what LeadIQ itself allows.

Can my team share one LeadIQ connection?

Yes. One person connects LeadIQ with their API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in as themselves through OAuth, so the audit log names the actual person who ran each LeadIQ search.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in LeadIQ?

This LeadIQ connector only searches and lists people, contacts, and companies, so there is nothing for an agent to delete or edit. Restrictions in Elaichi still apply per action, so you can turn off company search or contact listing for a team if you want. A restricted action is left out of the AI client's list entirely and cannot be called, whatever the prompt says.

What happens to a LeadIQ connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their LeadIQ access at once, in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client. A shared LeadIQ connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want LeadIQ gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from every client.

Does the LeadIQ MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. LeadIQ is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.

Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for LeadIQ?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use LeadIQ. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every LeadIQ call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for LeadIQ?

Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to LeadIQ: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
