LeadMCP now costs $49 a month. Its single paid plan dropped from $500 a month at the end of October 2026 to a flat $49, still with unlimited leads, search, export and enrichment, phones included and no seat or per-row fees. The free start is unchanged: a one-time grant of 1,000 contact credits.
We make Parvenu, so we're biased. Every claim about LeadMCP below comes from its own website as of November 10, 2026.
What LeadMCP is
LeadMCP describes itself as "a contact database your agent queries over MCP." Instead of logging into an app and building lists by hand, you connect an AI assistant or coding agent to its MCP server and let the agent search, count, enrich and export contacts.
- Clients: its homepage names Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline and Zed. You add the server URL and sign in.
- Data: LeadMCP states 375M+ contacts, 64M+ verified work emails, 45M+ phone numbers and 21M+ companies.
- Freshness: it says the database is rebuilt monthly and that rows show the email status and the date it was verified.
- Developer access: besides MCP there is a REST API that uses an API key.
What changed on LeadMCP's pricing page
When we read LeadMCP's pricing page on October 31, 2026, the paid plan was "$500 a month, flat." By November 4 the same page read "$49 a month, flat," and it still does today (leadmcp.ai/pricing). Here is what the page lists now.
- Free: $0 to start. "A one-time grant to try LeadMCP with your agent," with 1,000 contact credits, search and export, free counts and phones included.
- Paid: $49 a month. "One paid plan. Billed monthly. Cancel any time." It includes unlimited leads, search, export and enrichment, every MCP tool and the REST API, no per-row charges and no seat fees.
- Phones: "$0 extra for phones." The homepage says phones come "in every row where we have one."
- Cost per contact: the page now claims "under $0.01 per contact at 25,000" contacts with phones. At $500 it said $0.02.
- Signal alerts: the old $500 plan listed "Signal alerts." The $49 plan no longer does.
The limits behind "unlimited"
The plan is unlimited in contacts and searches, but the page also lists working limits, and a Fair Usage Policy that restricts scraping and reselling:
- Export files of up to 50,000 rows each, in CSV or JSONL.
- 300 requests a minute per API key, with room for short bursts.
- Counts, facets, schema and value lists are free, so an agent can size a list before pulling it.
For most teams those caps will not bite. For a team that wants to pull millions of rows a month into a warehouse, read the Fair Usage Policy before you plan around it.
Why the price cut matters
A flat $49 for unlimited contacts is a very low price for B2B contact data. It changes the question buyers ask. With per-contact pricing, you ask "how many records can I afford?" With a flat plan, you ask "how many of these records are right, and how many reach a real inbox?"
That is the comparison worth running. Price per row tells you little if the emails bounce or the contacts have moved jobs. LeadMCP's answer is a monthly rebuild with a status and a verified date on every row. Parvenu's answer is to look a contact up across several providers when you ask for it and verify the email before charging for it.
Parvenu vs LeadMCP: how they differ
Pricing
- LeadMCP: one paid plan at $49 a month, unlimited usage within the fair use limits above. One-time 1,000 free credits.
- Parvenu: a free plan with 100 credits every month. Startup from $49 a month for 1,000 credits, Business from $175 a month for 5,000 credits, Professional from $599 a month for 20,000 credits, and Enterprise on custom terms. Annual billing is 10% off with all credits granted upfront. There is also a 14-day free trial with 1,000 credits. See parvenu.io/pricing.
On raw volume, LeadMCP is cheaper. If your main need is to pull large numbers of contacts at a fixed cost, Parvenu will not beat a flat unlimited plan on price.
How the data is found
- LeadMCP: a single contact database, rebuilt monthly. Its homepage does not name its data sources.
- Parvenu: checks multiple providers in sequence for each contact. In Parvenu's words, "If one provider misses, the next one tries." Parvenu states 1B+ contacts, 68M+ companies and coverage in 125+ countries.
Email verification and what you pay for
- LeadMCP: rows show an email status and a verified date. You pay the flat fee whatever the status.
- Parvenu: emails are verified as part of the lookup, with no outside verifier needed. A credit is charged only when the status is valid or catch-all. Invalid, unknown and not-found results cost nothing.
Signals and automation
- LeadMCP: signal alerts are no longer listed on its pricing page, and its homepage does not describe buying-signal workflows. It is built as a database your agent queries.
- Parvenu: Flows start from a list event or a market signal such as a funding round, a hiring spike, a new executive or a job change. Each lead is scored against your ICP, researched, given a personalized opener and sent to a sequencer such as Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist or HubSpot. Leads below your threshold are saved to a list instead of being contacted.
AI agents and MCP
- LeadMCP: MCP-first, with a long list of supported clients including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and VS Code.
- Parvenu: a remote MCP server at mcp.parvenu.io/mcp that gives your assistant the same tools as the Parvenu API. Parvenu says it has tested Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and that any MCP client works. Your assistant can find companies, get verified work emails, personal emails and mobile numbers, score lists against your ICP and build, edit and run Flows. See parvenu.io/mcp.
Integrations
- LeadMCP: MCP and a REST API, with exports to CSV or JSONL.
- Parvenu: native connections to HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, Reply.io and Mailshake, plus Zapier, Make, Pabbly, Integrately, Google Sheets, a Chrome extension and an API. See parvenu.io/integrations.
Where LeadMCP is the better fit
- You want a fixed monthly cost for as many contacts as your agent can pull, and you will check deliverability yourself.
- Your team works mainly inside a coding agent such as Codex, Cursor or Claude Code and wants raw contact data, not workflows.
- You need phone numbers in bulk and do not want to pay per phone.
Where Parvenu fits
Parvenu fits teams that want qualified, verified leads delivered to their CRM or sequencer, not a database to query. It looks each contact up across several providers, verifies the email and only charges when the result is valid or catch-all. Flows watch for buying signals, score and research each lead and push only the good ones into your campaigns, and your AI assistant can run all of it over MCP.
If that matches how you prospect, you can start on the free plan with 100 credits a month or compare plans on the pricing page. The fairest test is simple: run the same 200 target contacts through both tools and count the emails that are verified valid.
