Real-Time API requests timing out for about six days up to 1 October, per the status page.\n\n**Fuse MCP.** The server documents 290 tools with read-only and destructive annotations, OAuth with PKCE and dynamic client registration, and published limits of 60 requests a minute. The single `mcp:tools` scope grants everything the user can do, sends happen at once with no undo, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Coresignal API + MCP\n\n1. Search for IDs first (free), then collect only the records you need\n2. Use base records at 10 credits when you don't need the 20-credit multi-source fields\n3. Use MCP v2 at /mcp/v2. The older /mcp endpoint will be deprecated\n4. Treat a 402 as out of credits, not a transient error\n5. Expect no work emails for EEA and UK people from the MCP email tool\n\n### Fuse MCP\n\n1. Keep the client's approval prompt on for every tool that is not read-only. Sends, CRM pushes and Slack posts run at once with no undo\n2. Launch a campaign only on an explicit request. Creating one makes a draft, and `update_campaign_status_tool` starts real outreach\n3. Call `get_credits_balance` and `get_credit_prices` first. Every call needs at least 100 credits, and searches cost 2 credits a result\n4. Resolve filter values with `lookup_filter_values` or `get_company_search_enums` before `search_people` or `search_companies`\n5. Start long work with `deep_research_start`, then poll `deep_research_status`. A tool call has 60 seconds, and runs take 5 to 20 minutes\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Coresignal API + MCP or Fuse MCP?\n\nCoresignal API + MCP scores 62.9 (B) on agent readiness against Fuse MCP's 47.9 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Fuse MCP leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Coresignal API + MCP and Fuse MCP need an API key?\n\nCoresignal API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Fuse MCP uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Coresignal API + MCP and Fuse MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes. Coresignal API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.coresignal.com/cdapi and Fuse MCP at https://mcp.fuseai.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-fuse-mcp.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-fuse-mcp.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"coresignal\", \"b\": \"fuse-mcp\"}`.
