Official MCP Paid, self-serve Engagement & Outbound RESEARCHED Checked 2026-08-24
RESEARCHED Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 1.

Vendor: instantly.ai · entry id 02-instantly · source 02-engagement-outbound.md line 122

What it does
Cold email sending platform providing mailbox infrastructure, warmup, deliverability management, sequencing, and lead sourcing.
AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it
Vendor markets "AI Sales Agent," "AI Reply Agent," "AI SDR Agent," and a "Copilot / WARP Mode" that finds leads, writes copy, and builds campaigns from a prompt - genuinely LLM-generated copy/campaign assembly. Email warmup, sender rotation, and sequencing logic are plain rules-based automation despite adjacent AI marketing.
RevOps role
Outbound email sending, deliverability, and warmup infrastructure layer feeding sequencing data to CRM/enrichment tools upstream.

The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established by hand on 2026-08-24. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL answered an auth challenge, but so did a path on that host which cannot exist, so the challenge proves a wall rather than a running MCP server.

Catalogue shape
a fixed catalogue the vendor publishes

A tool below is one the server NAMES. Nobody has called it. That is the same two tier honesty rule the rest of the directory runs on: a named tool is research, and BENCH-TESTED stays the only claim that anybody ran anything.

This list came from a repo the vendor does not own. Those are that author's tools for the vendor's API, not the vendor's own published surface, and the two must not be read as the same thing.

  • get_server_info
    No description was recorded with the name.
    evidence: in the server source · calling it reads · from a third party repo, so these are that author's tools, not the vendor's published surface

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. Every name across every server is on the tools index.

Command line

No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

727 of 1252 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health:

On GitHub

No GitHub organisation could be tied to instantly.ai with evidence on 2026-09-08.

Recorded by the harvest: github candidates were seen but none passed the evidence rules.

6 candidate accounts seen and rejected by the evidence rules: bcharleson, replit, netlify, Fission-AI, loopholelabs. A name match alone is never accepted; the account has to point at the vendor domain.

Jobs it can do

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 tags are assigned in total.

Notes, verbatim from the file
Full API+webhook access is gated to the Hypergrowth tier ($97/mo) and above, not the base Growth plan ($37/mo). A live 401 response at mcp.instantly.ai/mcp plus a third-party writeup confirm the official remote server, alongside an older, separate community implementation.
