Bottom line
Contact layer for LinkedIn emails and direct dials, with built-in email sequences. Paid plans start at $57/mo billed annually, or $69/mo month to month.
Stands out for: Chrome extension, bulk export and built-in email sequences, with both an MCP server and a REST API.
Watch out for: It runs on credits, so budget for list volume. Sequences send from your own connected mailbox, so deliverability rests on that account, not on SignalHire.
Overview
SignalHire is a LinkedIn-first contact finder for verified emails and direct dials. The Chrome extension enriches the profile in the tab. Bulk export covers list work on credits. Email Sequences runs multi-step cold outreach from your own mailbox, with steps, delays, send windows, pause on reply, and open and reply tracking, and takes prospects in bulk from lead lists. It also has a hosted MCP at mcp.signalhire.services and a REST API. It is contact data plus outreach, not an ATS.
Desks pick it when they want mobiles and emails from LinkedIn without buying an enterprise graph. Paid plans start at $57/mo billed annually, or $69/mo month to month, with unlimited seats.

MCP server
https://mcp.signalhire.services/mcp
SignalHire runs its own remote MCP server at https://mcp.signalhire.services/mcp, included on every paid plan. In Claude you add it as a custom connector and sign in with your SignalHire login (OAuth), so no key is typed, and ChatGPT connects through SignalHire's listing in its app directory. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex and n8n connect with your SignalHire API key as a bearer token. Either way the account needs an API key generated first, or every call is refused. It exposes eleven tools: search profiles with Boolean filters, read full profiles without contacts, reveal emails and phone numbers, look up companies and headcount, and check your credits. Searches and profile reads cost no contact credits. A contact reveal costs 1 contact credit per match and a company lookup 1 company credit, and the assistant asks your permission before spending either.
