Overview
The Apollo.io MCP server exposes Apollo.io's go-to-market data and workflows through the Model Context Protocol, so MCP-compatible AI applications can prospect for people and companies, enrich contacts, query sales analytics, and load leads into outreach sequences using natural language.
- Hosted and maintained by Apollo.io. The server runs remotely — there is nothing to build, host, or run locally.
- Transport: Streamable HTTP.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp- Authentication: Handled through Apollo.io OAuth. You sign in with your Apollo.io account and authorize access from your MCP client; the server then acts with your Apollo.io permissions. See Authentication and Authorization.
