Python 3.8 or higher
UV package manager
Apollo.io API key

Installation

Quick Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd apollo-mcp

Install UV (if not already installed):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Install dependencies:
```
uv sync
```

Set up your Apollo.io API key:

export APOLLO_API_KEY="your_actual_apollo_api_key_here"

Configure your MCP client (see Configuration section below)

Automated Setup

Use the deployment script for easier setup:

./deploy.sh

This will:

Install UV if needed
Install dependencies
Create a .env file template
Run setup verification

Configuration

Apollo.io API Key

Get your API key:
- Log in to your Apollo.io account
- Go to Settings → Integrations → API
- Generate or copy your API key

Set the API key (choose one method):

Option A: Environment Variable (Recommended)

export APOLLO_API_KEY="your_actual_apollo_api_key_here"

Option B: .env File

echo "APOLLO_API_KEY=your_actual_apollo_api_key_here" > .env

MCP Client Configuration

For Claude Desktop

Update the configuration file:

Copy claude_desktop_config.json to your Claude Desktop configuration
Update the cwd path to your actual project directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "python", "src/apollo_mcp_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/your/apollo-mcp",
      "env": {
        "APOLLO_API_KEY": "your_apollo_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Find your Claude Desktop config location:
- macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Linux: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json

For Cursor

Update the Cursor configuration:
- The .cursor/mcp_servers.json file is already configured
- Update the cwd path to your actual project directory
- Ensure your APOLLO_API_KEY environment variable is set

For Other MCP Clients

Use the provided configuration as a template and adapt for your specific client.

Included Scripts

The repository includes several helper scripts:

run_mcp_server.sh: Standard script to run the MCP server
debug_mcp_server.sh: Debug version with detailed logging
deploy.sh: Automated setup and deployment script

All scripts automatically:

Detect the correct project directory
Find UV installation (checks ~/.local/bin and ~/.cargo/bin)
Validate that APOLLO_API_KEY is set
Provide helpful error messages

Usage

Running the Server

uv run python src/apollo_mcp_server.py

Or using the installed script:

uv run apollo-mcp-server

Error Handling

The server includes comprehensive error handling for:

Invalid API keys
Rate limiting
Network errors
Invalid request parameters
API response errors

All errors are returned in a structured format with descriptive messages.

Rate Limiting

Apollo.io has different rate limits for different endpoints:

Single enrichment endpoints: Standard rate limits
Bulk enrichment endpoints: 1/10th of standard rate limits
Search endpoints: Higher rate limits for pagination

The server respects these limits and will return appropriate error messages if limits are exceeded.

Integration with AI Assistants

This MCP server can be used with AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol, such as:

Claude Desktop
Cody
Continue
Any MCP-compatible tool

Configure your AI assistant to connect to this server to enable Apollo.io functionality. See SETUP.md for detailed configuration instructions.

Persona and Intent Data

Persona Information

The server provides access to persona counts and created persona information through the account and organization endpoints. Persona data helps understand the types of contacts and their roles within organizations.

Intent Data Integration

While Apollo.io doesn't directly provide Bombora intent data through their standard API, the server is structured to easily integrate intent data when available. This typically requires:

Separate Bombora API integration
Data correlation between Apollo.io contacts and Bombora intent signals
Custom enrichment workflows

Contact Apollo.io support for information about intent data partnerships and availability.

Support

For issues with this MCP server:

Check the error messages and logs
Verify your API key is valid
Ensure you have sufficient API credits
Check Apollo.io API documentation for any changes

For Apollo.io API issues:

Visit Apollo.io support documentation
Contact Apollo.io customer support
