# People search for AI agents: connect Invenitor over MCP

AI agents connect to Invenitor over remote MCP, so they can search for people from your sentence and get contacts you approve instead of inventing addresses.

By Invenitor team. Updated 2026-11-01.

## What can you ask an agent to do?

- Find ten founders of climate startups in India and draft a note to each
- Who runs partnerships at this company? Get me their contact
- Check my credit balance before you run this search

## Why does an agent need a real data tool?

A language model asked for someone's email can invent a plausible address. A tool call returns what was actually found, or nothing. Telling the agent to use only tool results removes that risk.

## How do you keep control of spending?

Tell your agent to confirm with you before it opens a contact. The server's own instructions ask for that too. Set a credit budget in your prompt, and have the agent check the balance first. Full steps are in [the MCP guide](https://invenitor.com/guides/connect-people-search-to-an-ai-agent).

## What does the agent not do?

Invenitor does not send messages. If your agent also has an email tool, make it show you each draft. Automated outreach to people who have not agreed is prohibited by Invenitor's [Terms](https://invenitor.com/terms).

## Common questions

Which agents work with it?

Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP. The [MCP setup notes](https://invenitor.com/mcp.md) cover Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, VS Code and others.

Does MCP cost extra?

No. It is on every account and uses the same credits as the app.

Try one real search for free

New accounts get 25 free credits, with no card. That covers one search and five contacts.
