Prospeo

@pipeworx/prospeo

Find a person's verified work email by name + company domain, via Prospeo's person-enrichment API (prospeo.io). Part of the enrich-waterfall finder rotation (fleet #2860).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1745+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

• prospeo_find_email(first_name, last_name, domain, company_name?, _apiKey) — returns the verified email only when Prospeo actually reveals it; a masked/unrevealed guess is reported as not found.

Auth

BYO only. Pass your Prospeo API key as _apiKey. Get one at https://app.prospeo.io/api. No platform key — PII vendors are never platform-keyed (Bruce default D4).

Data sources

• https://api.prospeo.io/enrich-person — person enrichment, used for email finding.

Verification notes (fleet #2860, 2026-10-08, no vendor key held)

• The old /email-finder endpoint is DEAD. Edge-probed live: HTTP 400 {"req_status":false,"error_code":"DEPRECATED","error_toast":"...migrate by using our new APIs: https://prospeo.io/api-docs"}. Several third-party write-ups (Apify, Pipedream, a glama.ai MCP server) still document this path — do not copy them. The live replacement is POST /enrich-person, used here.
• Auth header confirmed live. X-KEY: <key> per https://prospeo.io/api-docs/authentication. Edge-probed with no key: HTTP 400 {"error":true,"error_code":"INVALID_API_KEY"} on the real /enrich-person endpoint — confirms the header name and that the endpoint is live and auth-gated. This pack's refusal message says "Prospeo requires an API key... get one at app.prospeo.io/api."
• Response shape is from vendor docs only (https://prospeo.io/api-docs/enrich-person, read 2026-10-08) — we hold no Prospeo key, so no live successful call was made. The documented example:
  json

  { "error": false, "free_enrichment": false,  "person": { "person_id": "...", "first_name": "Eoghan", "last_name": "Mccabe",    "email": { "status": "VERIFIED", "revealed": true, "email": "eoghan.*****@intercom.com" } },  "company": { "company_id": "...", "name": "Intercom" } }

  Note the doc's own example masks the address (eoghan.*****@intercom.com) even with revealed: true — this pack's parser only accepts an email string that does NOT contain *, so a masked/teaser address from a live call will correctly fall through to found: false rather than being handed back as a usable contact. This is the one thing a live key would need to confirm: whether a fully-paid reveal always returns the full address un-masked. Flagged as not verified below.
• Not verified (no key held): whether a successful paid call returns the address unmasked; exact behaviour of only_verified_email: true when Prospeo has only a guessed (unverified) address.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{  "mcpServers": {    "prospeo": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/prospeo/mcp"    }  }}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/prospeo/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{  "mcpServers": {    "pipeworx": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"    }  }}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1745+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/prospeo_find_email. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{  "mcpServers": {    "prospeo": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-prospeo"]    }  }}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-prospeo

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Prospeo data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
