Connect Apollo.io to your AI agents with the Apollo.io MCP server.
Updated
What is Apollo.io MCP?
The Apollo.io MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that connects Apollo.io to AI agents and assistants as a set of tools. With it connected, an agent can work with Apollo.io (sales intelligence — prospecting, contact enrichment, and sales engagement) directly — instead of you copying data in and out by hand.
It is a remote MCP server that uses OAuth, so you point your client at the server URL, authorize once, and the Apollo.io tools become available to the model.
