Verdicts

Clearbit

There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. Clearbit's APIs still run for existing customers behind a login, and its free tools and Logo API were retired in 2025. HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence is the route for new buyers, through HubSpot rather than Clearbit.

FullEnrich API + MCP

Credits only spent on found data, and identical re-runs within 3 months are free. Enrichment sources are third-party providers the vendor doesn't name.

Before you call either

Clearbit

  1. Don't plan to call Clearbit. Hand the task to a person with an existing Clearbit account, or use HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence through HubSpot
  2. Replace logo.clearbit.com links, which stopped working after 8 December 2025

FullEnrich API + MCP

  1. Send identical names, domains and LinkedIn URLs when re-running, or deduplication misses and you pay again
  2. Expect 30 to 90 seconds a contact. Use the webhook or poll get_enrichment_results
  3. Ask for mobiles only when needed. They cost 10 credits against 1 for a work email
  4. Call list_industries and list_seniorities before filtering search
  5. Use the 0-credit test contacts in the docs to check an integration
