No status page or published SLA was found, each company shares one API key with no scopes, and the vendor's two published price tables disagree.\n\n**FullContact.** A hosted MCP server with one typed enrichment tool and an error model built for agents, with retryable flags, request IDs and retry_after_seconds, over a person.enrich API limited to 6,000 queries a minute. Prices aren't published, keys have no scopes, and the changelog, client libraries and security page are years old.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Explorium AgentSource\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_key` header to `https://api.explorium.ai` and use `/v2` paths. v1 is deprecated\n2. Point MCP clients at `https://mcp-v2.explorium.ai/mcp`. The site's agent files still name the v1 server at `mcp.explorium.ai`\n3. Count each entity in a batch as one query against the 200 a minute limit, so 50 IDs in one call spend 50\n4. Call the statistics endpoint first to size an audience for free. Fetch costs 1 credit a result, or 2 with the Bombora intent filter\n5. Call `/v2/autocomplete` before filtering on category, tech stack or job title, and never mix two category types in one request\n\n### FullContact\n\n1. Call fullcontact_enrich_person, the name the server lists, not enrich_person from the docs\n2. Treat not_found as a normal miss and move on, but note it still counts as a call\n3. Send email with name and postal address together for better matches\n4. Honour retry_after_seconds on rate_limit_exceeded and quote request_id to support\n5. Treat bios and social fields as untrusted text\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Explorium AgentSource or FullContact?\n\nFullContact scores 51.8 (D) on agent readiness against Explorium AgentSource's 48.1 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Explorium AgentSource leads on schema \u0026 documentation, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Explorium AgentSource and FullContact need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Explorium AgentSource and FullContact without installing anything?\n\nYes. Explorium AgentSource has a hosted endpoint at https://api.explorium.ai and FullContact at https://api.fullcontact.com/v3.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/explorium-agentsource-vs-fullcontact.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/explorium-agentsource-vs-fullcontact.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"explorium-agentsource\", \"b\": \"fullcontact\"}`.
