ZoomInfo MCP Server
Connect AI agents to ZoomInfo's verified B2B company and contact intelligence via the official MCP server.
Updated
What is ZoomInfo MCP?
The ZoomInfo MCP server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents and assistants query ZoomInfo's B2B sales intelligence — verified company, contact, intent, and scoop data — directly inside their workflows.
It is officially hosted and maintained by ZoomInfo as a remote MCP endpoint at https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp. There is nothing to deploy or self-host: MCP-compatible clients such as Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Windsurf connect to the hosted server over HTTP. Authentication is handled through your ZoomInfo account via OAuth, so no API keys are stored locally — on first connect a browser window opens for ZoomInfo sign-in, and tokens are cached and refreshed afterward.
Once connected, an agent can find and enrich companies and contacts, surface buying intent and company signals (scoops), and pull strategic account or contact research using natural language. Access is gated by your ZoomInfo subscription, and data pulls draw on your account's data and AI credits, so the agent only reaches the records and capabilities your entitlements allow.

Connect the ZoomInfo MCP server
Claude Code
- 1
Open or create .mcp.json
In your project root (or the Claude Code MCP config), add a server entry for ZoomInfo.
- 2
Add the hosted server over HTTP
Use type "http" with url https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp — no API key needed: {"mcpServers":{"zoominfo":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp"}}}
- 3
Authenticate with ZoomInfo
On first use, complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser. Tokens are cached and refreshed automatically.
- 4
Verify the tools load
Restart Claude Code and confirm the ZoomInfo search/enrich tools appear, then prompt the agent to use them.
Requires an active ZoomInfo subscription with API access entitlements.
Cursor
- 1
Open Cursor's mcp.json
Edit your Cursor MCP config (Settings to MCP, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
- 2
Add the mcp-remote bridge
ZoomInfo connects via the mcp-remote stdio bridge: {"mcpServers":{"zoominfo":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","mcp-remote@0.1.16","https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp","--static-oauth-client-metadata","{\"scope\":\"openid profile email offline_access zi_api zi_mcp api:data:mcp\"}"]}}}
- 3
Sign in via OAuth
mcp-remote opens a browser for ZoomInfo sign-in on first connect, then caches and refreshes tokens. Requires Node.js/npx locally.
- 4
Confirm the connection
Reload Cursor and check that the ZoomInfo MCP tools are listed and callable.
Needs Node.js/npx installed locally for the mcp-remote bridge.
Sample use cases
A new account is created in the CRM and the agent enriches it with firmographics, tech stack, and key contacts.
Sales reps get a fully populated, research-ready account without manual lookup.
A scheduled agent monitors buying intent and scoops for target accounts.
Reps are alerted to leadership changes and active research signals while they're timely.
An SDR agent finds and ranks recommended contacts at a prospect company before outreach.
Higher-quality, better-targeted prospecting lists generated automatically.
Security & permissions
The ZoomInfo MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 with role-based permissions tied to your ZoomInfo account — no API keys are stored in the client config. On first connection a browser opens for ZoomInfo sign-in; access and refresh tokens are then cached and refreshed automatically (the Cursor bridge requests scopes such as openid profile email offline_access zi_api zi_mcp api:data:mcp).
Because authorization flows through your ZoomInfo identity and entitlements, the agent can only reach the data and tools your subscription grants. Record pulls and research draw on your account's data and AI credits, giving you usage-level visibility and control over what the agent retrieves.
Using ZoomInfo MCP with Gamut
In a Gamut workflow, ZoomInfo runs as a connected tool on an agent that fires on a schedule or an event — for example, when a new lead lands in your CRM or on a nightly territory sweep. Gamut manages the OAuth connection, so the agent can call the ZoomInfo MCP tools to enrich a company or contact, check buying intent and scoops, or pull recommended contacts, then hand the structured results to downstream steps (CRM update, Slack alert, outreach draft). Calls run against your own ZoomInfo entitlements and credits, so the agent only retrieves what your subscription permits.
