Apollo.io MCP servers: which one to use

Use Apollo's own hosted server: you sign in with your Apollo account. Pick a community server only if you want an API key setup or extra sequence controls.

Apollo.io runs its own MCP server, so start there. You sign in with your Apollo account, and it acts with your Apollo permissions. Enriching people and companies uses Apollo credits, and the server can also save contacts and add them to sequences, so check targets before you confirm. thevgergroup, Inferensys and adelaidasofia use an API key from Apollo settings instead, which is the main reason to pick one.

Good for

  • Sales reps who want Claude to find leads and enrich contacts without leaving the chat
  • Marketers and founders drafting outreach sequences from hiring and funding signals
  • RevOps teams checking sequences, mailboxes and credits
  • Developers who want an API-key server they can run or change themselves

Which Apollo.io MCP server to use

Use Apollo's official server for most work: it is hosted, signs in with your account and covers search, enrichment and sequences. Choose Inferensys for an API-key server with delete and deal tools, or thevgergroup for a Claude Desktop extension that searches and enriches.

Questions

Is there an official Apollo.io MCP server?

Yes. Apollo.io hosts it, and Claude's connector directory lists it as made by Apollo.io. You sign in with your Apollo account and do not install anything.

What is the Apollo.io MCP server URL?

It is https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp. Add it as a custom connector in your app, then sign in with Apollo when asked.

Which apps does the official server work in?

Apollo's README gives setup steps for Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Claude Cowork, GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code. In Claude Code, run /mcp, pick apollo and sign in.

Do I need an Apollo API key?

Not for the official server, which uses your Apollo sign-in. thevgergroup, Inferensys and adelaidasofia each need an API key from Apollo under Settings, Integrations, API; Inferensys says it must be a master key.

Does it use my Apollo credits?

Yes, some actions do. Apollo's README says enrichment consumes credits, and the Claude connector page says revealing phone numbers costs extra credits. Inferensys lists the credit cost in each tool description.

Can it change data or send emails?

The official server can save and update contacts and add or remove contacts in sequences. Apollo's README says to review the exact targets before you confirm enrichment or sequence changes.

Which community server should I pick?

thevgergroup is a Claude Desktop extension with search and enrichment tools. Inferensys lists 45 tools including contacts, deals, tasks and delete. adelaidasofia lists 27 tools with campaign health and mailbox warmup checks.

Is Apollo GraphQL's MCP server the same thing?

No. The apollographql/apollo-mcp-server repository belongs to Apollo GraphQL, a different company, and is unrelated to Apollo.io sales data.
