- What is MCP?
- Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call an external service's functions. Connecting the Lead Scorer MCP server gives your assistant a set of outreach tools it can use during a normal conversation — no plugin to build, no API to wrap.
- Do I need an API key?
- Not for Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT or Codex — they use OAuth 2.1, so you sign in with your Lead Scorer account and approve access. Cursor is the exception: generate an MCP API key in Settings and paste it into its config.
- Can the agent send emails on its own?
- No. The agent writes and queues; every message waits in your approval queue. You approve or edit, you set the daily cap and the sending window, and you press launch in the app.
- Can I create my Lead Scorer account from Codex or Claude?
- Yes. Install the Lead Scorer Outreach plugin or connect the MCP, then authenticate in the browser. The same OAuth flow lets a new user sign up, verify their email and approve the MCP. Back in the agent, it can read onboarding status, offer Pro or a credit top-up, and start email or LinkedIn connection flows.
- Which plans include MCP access?
- All of them, including the free CRM. AI-powered tool calls consume the same credits and AI budget they would inside the app.
- How do I receive new tools when Lead Scorer updates the MCP server?
- Nothing needs to be reinstalled and the server URL stays the same. Your MCP client reads the current tool list when it opens or reconnects to Lead Scorer. If an already-open conversation still shows an older list, start a new conversation or refresh/reconnect the Lead Scorer connector. Sign in again only if the client reports that authorization has expired or been revoked.
- How many tools does the server expose?
- 119, across nine categories including CRM, enrichment and scoring, Personal Memory and Context Packs, campaigns, content, and agent workflows.
