Apollo.io + Claude
Drive Apollo.io (B2B sales platform with contact database + enrichment + sequences) from any AI agent: people search, organization search, contact CRUD, deal stages, sequences. 11 tools.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
APOLLO_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
io API v1 (docs.apollo.io).
Setup:
- Sign in to Apollo.io → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API → API Keys → Create New API Key.
- Name it ('AnythingMCP'). Copy the key.
- Set
APOLLO_API_KEY.
Authentication: header X-Api-Key: ${APOLLO_API_KEY}. (Note: Apollo also supports the api_key query parameter and the legacy Authorization header; this connector uses the header form.)
Search vs Enrich: Apollo's central feature is searching its 275M+ people database (/v1/mixed_people/search). match endpoints enrich a known person/company by email/domain. People search is the entry point for prospecting workflows.
