Audience: Admins and developers setting up the Lusha MCP Server for the first time, or evaluating what the integration can do at a technical level. If you’re already connected and want to know how to use Lusha inside Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, or Cursor, see Using Lusha inside LLMs.
The Lusha MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Lusha’s B2B contact and company data as callable tools. MCP-compatible AI clients - including Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, and Cursor - can invoke those tools through natural language, without any custom API integration.

​
What you can do

  • Search for contacts and companies by name, title, industry, location, and more
  • Enrich contact profiles with verified emails and phone numbers
  • Build targeted prospect tables inside your AI chat
  • Run full prospecting workflows - from ICP to outreach - in a single conversation
  • Pull AI-driven Recommendations - contacts and companies tailored to your ICP - directly inside your AI conversation
  • Rank any contact or company list on a 0-100 buying-signal scale with Signal Score, using the signal_score_contacts and signal_score_companies tools - see Signal Score and ICP Fit Score for how scores are calculated
  • Score any contact or company list against your Target Profiles with ICP Fit Score - bring a list from your CRM, a CSV, or prospecting results, and get a 0-1 fit score plus the best-matching profile per row. No Target Profile yet? Build one right in the conversation, then score your list against it without leaving MCP - see Signal Score and ICP Fit Score for details
  • Score how likely a company is to become a sales opportunity with Opportunity Conversion Score (Beta), using the predictive_score_companies tool, and get the reasons behind the score - see Opportunity Conversion Score (Beta) explained for what the score means and which CRMs are supported
  • Find Lookalikes of your best customers and pipe them straight into Enrich for full contact details
  • Connect your CRM and export contacts or companies straight from your AI assistant. Lusha supports Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, and SalesLoft, with a per-row result for every export. See MCP tools reference for the full CRM tool set
  • Query Website Visitors data to see which companies are browsing your site and act on them directly inside your AI conversation
  • Surface Company Intent signals powered by Bombora - search and select any topic from the full 18.5K Bombora topic list (no predefined list needed) to spot accounts actively researching topics relevant to your product; see the Signals API guide for credit costs
  • Search your account’s recorded sales calls with Conversation Intelligence - by date, company, participant, or keyword - then pull a call’s summary, coaching scores, chapters, or transcript, using the conversations_search and conversations_transcript_get tools; see Conversation Intelligence API for credit costs and what’s included
In Claude, contacts and companies render as interactive cards instead of plain text - with one-click copy and one-click signal pulls (buying signals, hiring, headcount shifts, website traffic, LinkedIn activity intent, and more). If you run out of credits mid-search, you can top up right from the card without leaving the conversation.

​
Requirements

  • A Lusha account on any plan - every user can connect their own Lusha MCP Server, subject to your account’s MCP access permission. Admins can restrict MCP access separately: a dedicated MCP access permission in Account Settings → Permissions is on by default - turn it off and only Admins and Managers can connect.
  • Available API credits - MCP calls consume credits from your account’s credit pool
  • An MCP-compatible AI client. Lusha supports two connection methods, depending on your client:
    • OAuth - one-click authentication via Lusha’s official connector, for Claude and ChatGPT. Not gated by Admin/Manager role or by your account’s API key permission settings.
    • API Key - pass your Lusha API key via the x-api-key request header, for Cursor, n8n, and any other MCP-compatible client. Subject to your account’s API key permission settings.
MCP Server URL (for API Key clients): https://mcp.lusha.com. Get your API key from API → Manage API Keys.
Starter prompt included: Every Lusha MCP connection now ships with a ready-to-use starter prompt right on the consent screen - copy it in one click to try a real example (find a person, verify they still work there, and pull their title and verified contact details) the moment you connect. This ships across every MCP client we connect to, not just Claude.

​
Connect Lusha now

Connect via Claude - click Add to Claude and complete OAuth authentication. Connect via ChatGPT - find Lusha in the app directory and click Connect. Connect via n8n or Cursor - use your Lusha API key with the MCP Server URL above, following your client’s MCP setup instructions.
