Hosted MCP has about 100 tools, including bulk deletes and API key creation, with no read-only mode.\n\n**Prospeo API + MCP.** MCP tool descriptions say when to use each tool, its credit cost and the next call. No status page, SLA or changelog.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hunter API + MCP\n\n1. Treat 451 as final. The person opted out and retrying won't help\n2. Back off on 403 with a rate-limit message. 429 means the plan's credits are gone\n3. Send the key in `X-API-Key`, never as `?api_key=`\n4. Use `test-api-key` to check request shapes without spending credits\n5. Use the hosted MCP at mcp.hunter.io/mcp, not the deprecated local npm package\n\n### Prospeo API + MCP\n\n1. Call `search_suggestions` before using location, technology or industry filters, or the search returns nothing\n2. Pass `person_id` values from search into `bulk_enrich_person`, 25 at a time\n3. Branch on the body `error_code`, not the HTTP status, which is 400 for most failures\n4. Set `enrich_mobile` only when needed. A mobile costs 10 credits against 1 for an email\n5. Use Enrich Person. The old Email Finder endpoint was removed in March 2026\n\n## Other comparisons with Hunter API + MCP or Prospeo API + MCP\n\n- [Apollo API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apollo-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Apollo API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apollo-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Coresignal API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Coresignal API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Crustdata API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crustdata-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Crustdata API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crustdata-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [FullEnrich API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fullenrich-vs-hunter.md)\n- [FullEnrich API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fullenrich-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [LeadMagic API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leadmagic-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Lusha API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lusha-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Dropcontact API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Dropcontact API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Hunter API + MCP vs LeadMagic API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hunter-vs-leadmagic.md)\n- [Hunter API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hunter-vs-lusha.md)\n",
