# Icypeas — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Icypeas account and use 22 tools for email straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Icypeas is an email discovery and verification tool that allows users to find and verify professional email addresses using first name, last name, and company domain.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_icypeas?ms=1787295960000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `icypeas_bulk_email_search`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
