Datamagnet
Live people and company data API with an MCP server, for enrichment, sourcing and AI agents.
From $39/mo MCP server API
Bottom line
Developer API that pulls public professional profiles and company pages live at request time, so titles and headcounts are current rather than last quarter's, with email and phone included where they are publicly available. Plans start at $39/mo for 1,000 credits, a basic profile costs 1 credit, and a hosted MCP server lets Claude or ChatGPT call it directly. Best for teams that can wire an API, not recruiters who want a point and click search screen.
Stands out for: Data is fetched from the live profile at the moment you ask rather than from a stored snapshot, and the credit price per call is published endpoint by endpoint, down to 1 credit for a basic person or company profile. The MCP server is unusually complete for a data vendor: 17 tools, OAuth sign in so no key is pasted into the AI app, and every tool states its credit cost before it runs.
Watch out for: This is an API, not an app: there is no search interface or sourcing workflow, so someone has to build on it or use it through Clay, n8n or an AI assistant. Rate limits are low on self serve plans (10 to 30 requests a minute), and the richer calls such as post engagement, activity and ICP search pages cost 10 credits each, so a search heavy month burns credits ten times faster than plain enrichment. Emails and phone numbers come back only where they are publicly available, and the vendor does not describe a deliverability check.
Overview
Datamagnet is a real time B2B data API. You send a public professional profile URL or a company URL and it fetches that page live, returning more than 75 structured JSON fields in what the vendor says is typically under 200 milliseconds.
Person profiles cover identity, full work history, education, skills, network size and interests, plus email and phone where they are publicly available. Other endpoints return a person's recent activity, company profiles with funding rounds, company posts, post engagement (who commented, reacted or reposted), and ICP search for people and companies by title, seniority, company and location.
Signals turn it into a monitoring tool. You set a watch on people or companies and get a webhook when someone changes job, publishes a post or gets engagement, which suits tracking past candidates, placed hires or client champions.
For recruiting, the vendor pitches it as programmatic sourcing: filter candidates by skills, experience and location through the search API, enrich new applicants as they arrive, and push results into an ATS such as Greenhouse or Lever through the API.
The hosted MCP server at mcp.datamagnet.co connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex and Gemini CLI with a browser sign in. It exposes 17 tools, reads data only except for creating and editing signals, and draws on the same credit balance as the API.
Self serve plans are Starter at $39/mo, Pro at $99/mo and Scale at $199/mo, with 20% off yearly and a quoted Enterprise plan. Signing up gives 10 free credits without a card.
