Pearch.ai MCP
MCP server for Pearch.AI: natural-language search over people and companies/leads (B2B). Use it from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client.
Evaluating AI Recruitment Sourcing Tools by Human Preference
Tools
Tool | Description |
search_people | Natural-language people search (e.g. "software engineers in California with 5+ years Python"). Supports fast/pro/superfast search types, contact reveal & contact filters, real-time profile refresh, insights, and thread-based pagination/follow-ups. |
search_company_leads | Find companies and leads/contacts within them (B2B). Example: company "AI startups in SF, 50–200 employees" + leads "CTOs and engineering managers", with optional personalized outreach messages. |
get_profile | Look up and enrich a single person by LinkedIn slug or email (contact reveal, real-time refresh, GitHub enrichment). |
get_user_info | Authenticated user info: email, remaining credits, pricing plan. Free. |
Custom structured filters (custom_filters / search_requirements) are intentionally not exposed — describe everything in the natural-language query.

Remote server (recommended)
The hosted server lives at https://mcp.pearch.ai/mcp and supports two auth schemes at once:
OAuth (no key handling)
Add the server without any headers — OAuth-capable clients (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) discover the flow automatically and open a Google sign-in. Sign in with the Google account whose email matches your Pearch account:
claude mcp add --transport http pearch https://mcp.pearch.ai/mcpYour searches bill credits against your own Pearch account. If your Pearch account has no API key yet, create one first in the Pearch.ai Dashboard.
API key
Pass the same Pearch API key as api.pearch.ai:
{
"mcpServers": {
"Pearch.ai": {
"url": "https://mcp.pearch.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:PEARCH_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}Use test_mcp_key for masked (sample) results — no sign-up required.
Local (stdio) installation
Requires Python 3.10+ and pip install -r requirements.txt (or pip install fastmcp).
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
fastmcp install claude-desktop pearch_mcp.py --env PEARCH_API_KEY=test_mcp_keyOr manually under mcpServers:
"Pearch.ai": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp_pearch/pearch_mcp.py"],
"env": { "PEARCH_API_KEY": "test_mcp_key" }
}Cursor
fastmcp install cursor pearch_mcp.py --env PEARCH_API_KEY=test_mcp_keyReplace test_mcp_key with your dashboard key for full results.
Running your own HTTP server
uvicorn pearch_mcp:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000Health: GET /health or /healthcheck (reports the auth mode).

In oauth mode the ingress/reverse proxy must route the whole host to the server, not just /mcp: the flow adds /.well-known/oauth-*, /authorize, /token, /register, /revoke, /consent, and /auth/callback.
