People Data Labs is an MCP server that connects AI assistants directly to the People Data Labs API, allowing models to query extensive datasets on people, companies, and related professional entities. Recruiters, sales representatives, market researchers, and software engineers use this server to automate data retrieval workflows directly inside their AI development environments and desktop clients. By wrapping the People Data Labs endpoints into Model Context Protocol tools, it enables assistants to enrich individual person profiles using identifiers like email, phone, or name, as well as perform bulk enrichment on multiple candidates simultaneously. It also lets users enrich company records by website, ticker, or name, and run SQL-like queries against person and company directories to discover target leads or talent. Additionally, the server exposes specialized tools for searching schools, locations, job titles, and skills, alongside an autocomplete utility for quick attribute validation. This integration streamlines lead prospecting, recruitment pipelines, and B2B intelligence tasks without requiring manual web searches or external spreadsheets.

bash git clone https://github.com/phxdev1/peopledatalabs-mcp cd peopledatalabs-mcp 2. Install dependencies: bash npm install 3. Build the project: bash npm run build 4. Automatically configure the server for Claude Desktop: bash npm run config:claude or for VS Code: bash npm run config:vscode 5. Alternatively, manually add the server to your MCP configuration file (such as claude_desktop_config.json): json { "mcpServers": { "peopledatalabs": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/peopledatalabs-mcp/build/index.js"], "env": { "PDL_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here" } } } } Replace the path with your built index.js path and supply your actual PDL_API_KEY.Part of MCP Servers
It enables AI assistants to search and enrich data on individuals and companies via the People Data Labs API. Supported capabilities include single and bulk person profile enrichment, company enrichment, SQL-based search for people and businesses, and query tools for job titles, locations, schools, and skills.
The server works with any Model Context Protocol compliant client, including Claude Desktop and VS Code with extensions like Roo-Cline. The repository includes automated configuration scripts for both Claude Desktop and VS Code to help register the server and set the required API key.
You need a valid People Data Labs API key. The key must be provided in your MCP configuration file under the PDL_API_KEY environment variable. You can enter the key during the automated configuration scripts or edit the settings JSON manually.
The People Data Labs MCP server is an open source project released under the Apache 2.0 license. Users can inspect, modify, and distribute the source code according to standard Apache license terms by visiting the project repository on GitHub.
The search tools, such as search_people and search_companies, accept SQL-like query strings. You write structured queries specifying conditions on fields like location, job title, or industry, and define the result size up to one hundred records per request.
