The facts
What it does, from Apollo's own pages
- The server
Apollo MCP, which Apollo calls its native connector.Source
It is not the Apollo GraphQL MCP Server, a separate open-source tool from a different company.Source
- Status
Not stated on Apollo's pages. Apollo says tool availability can vary by plan, permissions, client support and rollout status.Source
- Where it runs
A remote server at https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp over Streamable HTTP. No local install is needed.Source
- Reads or changes
Reads: people search, call transcripts, analytics on sequences and emails, and deals.Source
Changes: it creates and updates contacts, accounts, lists, sequences and tasks, enrolls contacts in sequences and sends one-off emails. It can create deals but has no update-deal action.Source
Bulk delete and other destructive actions are not supported.Source
It can also buy sending domains and email accounts. Apollo recommends requiring approval for any action that uses credits.Source
- Sign-in
OAuth 2.0 in the browser. Access is limited to what the user who signs in can do.Source
A headless client can use an API key instead, and then requests act as the workspace's longest-standing active admin.Source
- Cost and plan
Apollo says there is no extra cost to connect. Your plan, permissions and credits still apply, and enrichment uses credits.Source
Apollo's product page says any plan qualifies, including free.Source
Free accounts on a personal email cannot use people or company search and enrichment.Source
- Connect it to Claude
In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, find Apollo and click Configure. Sign in with your Apollo account. No API key is needed.Source
In Claude Desktop, add a connector with the server URL under Connectors. In Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http apollo https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp, then /mcp.Source
For a sales team
How a sales team can use it
These are our suggestions, not Apollo's. We have not tried them on this server.
Search wide, enrich narrow
Ask Claude to search for people at accounts that fit your profile. Enrich only the ones you will contact, because enrichment uses credits.
Draft a sequence, check the change
Have Claude propose sequence steps and look at the changes before anything is saved, as Apollo's page describes.
Put approval on spend
Set the connector to ask before any action that uses credits, as Apollo recommends.
