No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt or changelog.\n\n**RocketReach API.** The hosted MCP server has nine documented tools, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and machine-readable error codes, and searches cost no credits. Plan prices were not readable, the docs send API plan requests to email, the terms require a human account holder, and the `account` tool returns the account's API key to the model.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Dropcontact API + MCP\n\n1. Send a company name or website with every contact, or you get `only_contact_data`\n2. Send only documented fields. New accounts get a 400 for unknown ones\n3. Match webhook results by `request_id`, since order isn't guaranteed and duplicates happen\n4. Poll no faster than every 30 seconds, as the not-ready response asks\n5. Post an empty contact to read the credit balance at no cost\n\n### RocketReach API\n\n1. Search first with `person_search` or `company_search`, which cost no credits, then look up only the profile IDs needed\n2. Treat `status: \"pending\"` as normal. Poll `check_person_status` after at least 3 seconds, and polling is free\n3. Do not echo the `account` tool's output to users or logs. It includes the account's API key\n4. Send the key in the `Api-Key` header. The `api_key` query parameter is deprecated\n5. Bulk lookup takes 1 to 100 queries and needs a webhook. Results arrive at the webhook, signed in `X-RocketReach-Signature`\n6. Do not loop on `unknown` from `email_verify`, or on `lookup_failed` and `not_found`. The last two are terminal\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dropcontact API + MCP or RocketReach API?\n\nRocketReach API and Dropcontact API + MCP score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 51.2 (D) and 50.9 (D). Dropcontact API + MCP leads on security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Dropcontact API + MCP and RocketReach API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Dropcontact API + MCP and RocketReach API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Dropcontact API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.dropcontact.com/v1 and RocketReach API at https://api.rocketreach.co/api/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-rocketreach.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-rocketreach.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"dropcontact\", \"b\": \"rocketreach\"}`.
