Verdicts

Dropcontact API + MCP

Pay on success, with credits refunded when no email is found. No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt or changelog.

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.

Before you call either

Dropcontact API + MCP

  1. Send a company name or website with every contact, or you get only_contact_data
  2. Send only documented fields. New accounts get a 400 for unknown ones
  3. Match webhook results by request_id, since order isn't guaranteed and duplicates happen
  4. Poll no faster than every 30 seconds, as the not-ready response asks
  5. Post an empty contact to read the credit balance at no cost

Fuse MCP

  1. 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
  2. Launch a campaign only on an explicit request. Creating one makes a draft, and update_campaign_status_tool starts real outreach
  3. Call get_credits_balance and get_credit_prices first. Every call needs at least 100 credits, and searches cost 2 credits a result
  4. Resolve filter values with lookup_filter_values or get_company_search_enums before search_people or search_companies
  5. 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
