Why the edge:
- Maintenance & community, Lusha API + MCP +54: Dievio 28 (Closed service with no changelog, release notes or version numbers. The latest dated changes on the vendor's pages are the terms and privacy policy of 31 October 2026, which describe the agent integration, token lifetimes and export expiry, and blog posts of 21 and 30 October 2026 on API billing; the MCP server, absent from the February and May 2026 archived copies, carries no date, and the API landing pages say content reviewed May 2026 (20 of 30). No release record, so no three dated entries in 90 days; 84 dated blog posts from 29 March to 30 October 2026 are articles, not releases (0). Support is one address, support@dievio.com, with email support on Starter and priority support on Growth; no public changelog, community channel, forum or issue tracker, and the Fazier launch page's comments are from other makers (3 of 15). Not in the official MCP registry and no official SDKs (0). No packages to judge (5 of 10). 20+0+3+0+5 = 28.); Lusha API + MCP 82 (Version 2.16.0 on 2026-09-23 (30). Ten dated versions since 8 June 2026 (20). Detailed public changelog and support, issue handling not visible (12 of 15). Listed in the official MCP registry as com.lusha.mcp/mcp, a domain-verified namespace, per the 30 September check (15). No packages to judge (5 of 10).)
- Transparency & trust, Lusha API + MCP +53: Dievio 27 (Closed service. The terms (last updated 31 October 2026) cover use, credits, connected agents, a 30-day refund and availability in about 300 words but name no legal entity, address, governing law or jurisdiction, so the contracting party is unknown (8 of 30). The privacy policy (31 October 2026) lists the categories processed, the purposes, recipients by category, the agent connection data, and the access periods (authorization requests 10 minutes, codes 5, access tokens an hour, refresh 30 days, export links 15 minutes), says lead search uses Dievio's own contact database without saying where records are collected from, lets people in the database ask for access, correction, deletion or suppression by email, keeps records for as long as needed with no periods, and agrees with the terms and the docs on credits, revocation and link expiry; no DPA was found (14 of 30). No deprecation policy or notices; the terms allow the service to change at any time, and plan allowances and API prices changed between the 20 May and 31 October 2026 copies of the pricing pages with no dated notice (0 of 20). Service providers are named by category only (hosting, databases, authentication, contact processing, analytics, email delivery, payments), with no names, locations or transfer basis (4 of 20). 8+14+0+4 = 26.); Lusha API + MCP 80 (Closed service with terms naming Lusha Systems Inc. (15). The privacy notice (September 2026) covers people in the database, names its sources, including a community programme in which members share contacts from their CRM, email headers and calendars, plus data brokers and public APIs, relies on legitimate interest, names a DPO and an EU and UK representative, and takes removal requests at `lusha.com/privacy-center/request-removal`. Retention for contacts has no period (24 of 30). A support matrix exists, but the Decision Makers API was removed 88 days after launch with no notice period found (8 of 20). Subprocessor list published and data stored on AWS in the US (20).)
- Reliability, Lusha API + MCP +47: Dievio 28 (Hosted reading, for the REST API with the MCP server it shares a database with. No public status page was found. None is linked from the docs or the footer, https://dievio.com/status answers 404 and status.dievio.com does not resolve (0). No readable incident history, so the floor (5). No rate limit is published for the REST API or the MCP tools. The only numbers are the export cap of 10 download starts a minute per connection and 100,000 contacts a file, the OAuth timers and input bounds such as 500 LinkedIn URLs a call, and the privacy policy mentions hashed rate-limit keys without a figure (5 of 15). No 429 or Retry-After is documented, and the REST errors are 401, 402, 500 and 502 with no retry guidance; every MCP mutation takes a request_id UUID replayed when retried with identical arguments, the workflows page says never to repeat a paid lookup with a new ID and to reconcile against the job list first, and a low balance returns fewer rows rather than failing, while a retried REST search has no idempotency key and is charged again (8 of 15). No SLA. The terms (last updated 31 October 2026) say uptime is not guaranteed and the service may change at any time (0). The REST API and the 30-tool MCP server carry no beta label, though the search response documents `search_id` as currently null and `counting` as currently false, and the server is unversioned (10). 0+5+5+8+0+10 = 28.); Lusha API + MCP 75 (Atlassian Statuspage at status.lusha.com with a Lusha API component and AWS us-east-1 components (20). The front page showed no incidents for the 15 days it lists. The history page renders client-side and the JSON feed is blocked by robots.txt, so we couldn't read 90 days (10). Limits per plan, from 40 a minute and 100 a day on Free to 300 a minute and 50,000 a day on Scale (15). 429 documented with advice to back off exponentially, no Retry-After mentioned (10 of 15). The trust centre states a 99.95 per cent uptime SLA (10). Generally available (10).)
- Schema & documentation, Lusha API + MCP +33: Dievio 50 (API reading, with the MCP server described. No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract for the REST API; the MCP tool reference says clients discover exact input schemas through tools/list, that unknown fields and unlisted arguments are rejected, and the server publishes a dievio://schema/search-filters JSON resource, but no session was opened to read them (10 of 25). llms.txt and llms-full.txt on docs.dievio.com, generated on each build, plus llms.txt, pricing.md and product.md on dievio.com (10). The MCP reference says what each tool does, which tools are free, which scope each needs, when to prefer export_list_file over export_list and how to retry; the REST pages say what each endpoint returns and little about when to use search against lookup, and the MCP page says a preview does not unlock contacts and a count is not a guaranteed result (12 of 20). Filters are typed as strings, string arrays, booleans and integers with enumerations listed for seniority, department, employee size, business model, salary and email_status, bounds on page, limit, max_results and array length, and UUID ids; industries and locations are examples only, the funding dates are a year over REST and an ISO date over MCP, and the contact object for add_leads_to_list carries a free JSON lead_data field (10 of 15). curl examples with example responses for both REST endpoints, a pagination loop and six MCP worked prompts; errors are four status codes with one line each and no documented body, and the MCP error shape is not shown (8 of 15). No version in the path (/api/public), no changelog or release notes on either host, and plan allowances and API prices changed between the May and October 2026 copies of the pricing pages with no dated notice (0 of 15). 10+10+12+10+8+0 = 50.); Lusha API + MCP 83 (OpenAPI files per the 30 September check (25). llms.txt (10). Reference pages explain credit use per call with worked examples (15 of 20). Typed inputs (12 of 15). Standard HTTP codes and examples, no error catalogue found (10 of 15). Semantic versioning with a support matrix and a dated changelog. Version numbers run out of order (2.8.0 dated after 2.12.0), and breaking changes shipped in minor versions (11 of 15).)
- Agent ergonomics, Dievio +12: Dievio 63 (API reading. REST responses are sized with _per_page (default 25), max_results, include_emails, include_phones, _include_raw to drop the raw object and email_status; the MCP server lists 30 tools with no toolsets or read-only subset, previews mask contact fields and limit runs 1 to 500 (18 of 25). Page-based pagination with has_more and next_page over REST, offset and limit with next_offset over MCP, 20 filters, max_results caps and column selection on exports (20). Errors are 401, 402, 500 and 502 as status codes with one-line meanings and no error body, and a balance below the page size returns fewer rows with success true, which an agent must detect from count; MCP job errors are read from get_search_job (8 of 20). request_id on every MCP mutation with replay semantics, asynchronous searches polled by job id, save_search_results deduplicated by list, job and position, and only queued jobs cancellable; the REST search has no idempotency key and a repeat is charged, and readOnlyHint and destructiveHint are not documented (10 of 20). Every filter is optional with defaults for page size and max_results, and the MCP tools need only filters and a request_id; no official SDK or CLI, only a third-party MIT OpenClaw skill and an n8n template on GitHub (7 of 15). 18+20+8+10+7 = 63.); Lusha API + MCP 51 (The hosted MCP has 50 tools across enrichment, prospecting, signals, lookalikes, buying groups, tables, CRM export and account, with no toolsets found (5). Bulk calls take up to 25 records (8 of 25). Prospecting filters with a per-company cap and exact totals (18 of 20). Standard codes and back-off advice for 429 (12 of 20). Every request costs at least 1 credit even with no match, so retries aren't free, and the MCP writes to tables and CRM exports with no annotations found (6 of 20). No official SDKs found (7 of 15).)
- Payments & pricing, Lusha API + MCP +5: Dievio 35 (No x402, MPP or L402 in the docs, the pricing pages or the terms (0). Prices published without a login as dollars per 1,000 API credits ($4.50 at 5,000 down to $2.92 at 60,000), per plan ($29.99, $79.99 and $149.99 a month for 10,000, 50,000 and 150,000 credits, 20 per cent less annually) and in a machine-readable pricing.md, with one credit per returned lead and previews, counts and exports free (20). Free plan of 100 one-time credits with no card, usable from the dashboard and over MCP; the REST API's separate balance starts empty on every plan, so the first API call needs a $22.50 top-up (15 of 20). A person signs up in a browser, and the OAuth consent and API key creation both need the dashboard (0). 0+20+15+0 = 35.); Lusha API + MCP 40 (No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Plan prices, credit allowances and per-item credit costs are public (20). Free plan with 40 credits a month and an API key. It's a free plan, not a trial, and we didn't see a card asked (20). A person signs up in a browser (0).)
