Is the Lusha MCP server available now?
Yes. The Lusha MCP server is live at
https://mcp.lusha.com, with both OAuth-based connections (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex) and API-key connections (VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, n8n, and other MCP clients). See MCP setup for client-specific steps.What is MCP?
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants and agents call external tools in a structured, consistent way. It means you can ask an MCP-compatible client to “enrich this contact” or “find decision makers at Acme Corp” and have it call the Lusha API automatically - no manual API calls required.
Which AI clients support the Lusha MCP server?
Which AI clients support the Lusha MCP server?
Lusha documents setup for Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex (via OAuth), and VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Cursor, Gemini CLI, and n8n (via API key). Any other MCP-compatible client can connect using the API-key method against
https://mcp.lusha.com. See the MCP setup guide for exact steps.Do I need a separate Lusha plan for MCP?
Do I need a separate Lusha plan for MCP?
No - MCP uses the same API key and credit pool as the REST API. Any plan that includes API access can use the MCP server. One exception: the recommendations tools are only available over an OAuth connection (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex) - API-key sessions get a
403 on those specific tools.Is MCP billed differently from the REST API?
Is MCP billed differently from the REST API?
No. MCP tool calls translate into the same underlying Lusha API requests, and credits are deducted the same way - generally per successful, matched result. Filter-lookup tools and a few read-only tools (like checking your account usage) don’t consume credits. See available tools for which tools do and don’t charge credits.
Can I export contacts or companies to my CRM via MCP?
Can I export contacts or companies to my CRM via MCP?
Yes. Ask your MCP client to connect your CRM.
connect_crm generates a secure OAuth link (Admin-only; if you’re not an admin, the agent points you to your account admin). Then use export_contacts_to_crm or export_companies_to_crm to push records. Lusha supports Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, and SalesLoft today. Export is contacts-first, with company export limited to the CRMs that support it. This is Phase 1: exports run synchronously with a per-run cap per CRM, so larger lists go across multiple runs. Async large-batch export is planned for a later phase.
