# UpLead: MCP server status, API access gate and what it does > A B2B contact database and prospecting tool (vendor claims 160M+ contacts, 95% data accuracy) for building... Community MCP, Paid, self-serve. Checked 2026-09-03. *Markdown twin of the HTML page at the same path. Same content, no navigation, no styling, no scripts. Links below point at other twins. Site map for machines: [llms.txt](../llms.txt). The whole dataset: [directory.json](../data/directory.json).* *Maintained by Andrew McGuire (https://andrewcmcguire.com), who also publishes https://gtmsignals.co and https://justsaid.ai.* --- [Directory](../index.md) / [Data & Enrichment](../categories/data-enrichment.md) / UpLead # UpLead [Community MCP](../mcp/community.md) [Paid, self-serve](../gates/paid.md) [Data & Enrichment](../categories/data-enrichment.md) RESEARCHED Checked 2026-09-03 > **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: [uplead.com](https://uplead.com) · entry id 01-uplead · source 01-data-enrichment.md line 331 **What it does** A B2B contact database and prospecting tool (vendor claims 160M+ contacts, 95% data accuracy) for building lead lists with verified emails, direct dials, and firmographic/technographic filters, with a browser extension and CRM integrations. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** No distinct AI/ML feature set found beyond standard match-and-verify logic (real-time email verification, intent-data overlays). Marketing emphasizes "accuracy" and "verified," not AI - functionally this is a traditional enrichment database rather than an AI product, despite appearing in "AI tools" roundups. **RevOps role** Prospecting/list-build and enrichment source; lower self-serve tiers cover manual search, CSV export, and a limited real-time Enrichment API, while full API/integration-building access requires the top custom-priced tier. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Community MCP - **Auth**: Handled through the Zapier/Pipedream platform's own connector auth (API key entered into that third-party platform), not a UpLead-native OAuth or API-key flow - **Parsed URLs**: 2 found in the mcp_url field - **Endpoint probe**: docs page, not an endpoint - **Docs URL**: [https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead](https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead) - **Probed**: 2026-09-04, HTTP 200 A working server exists but somebody other than the vendor built it. It can be abandoned without the vendor noticing. The status was established by hand on 2026-09-03. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL served a documentation page, not an MCP endpoint. That is where to read about the server, not where to connect to it. An agent needs the second. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: community mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead (also listed on Pipedream: https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) - [https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead](https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead) - [https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead](https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) **What this server exposes** Not harvested yet. Unmeasured, not empty: nobody has read this server's tool list, so this page says nothing about what it exposes. 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. The full roll up is on the [tools index](../tools-index.md). **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. **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Paid, self-serve - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, by paying, no sales call api_gate, verbatim from the file: paid **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. **On GitHub** No GitHub organisation could be tied to uplead.com with evidence on 2026-09-08. Recorded by the harvest: github candidates were seen but none passed the evidence rules. 4 candidate accounts seen and rejected by the evidence rules: uplead, UpLeady, uplead-me, Uplead-Digital. A name match alone is never accepted; the account has to point at the vendor domain. **Jobs it can do** - [Search people by criteria](../jobs/search-people-by-criteria.md) - [Search companies by firmographics](../jobs/search-companies-by-firmographics.md) - [Enrich a company from a domain](../jobs/enrich-company-from-domain.md) - [Find a person's LinkedIn URL from a name and company](../jobs/find-linkedin-url-from-name-and-company.md) - [Find a work email address](../jobs/find-work-email.md) - [Find a phone number](../jobs/find-phone-number.md) - [Verify an email is deliverable](../jobs/verify-email-deliverable.md) - [Detect a company's tech stack](../jobs/detect-technographics.md) 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. **Sources** - [https://www.uplead.com/pricing/](https://www.uplead.com/pricing/) - [https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead](https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead) - [https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead](https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) - [https://www.landbase.com/blog/uplead-pricing](https://www.landbase.com/blog/uplead-pricing) - [https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-07-15-uplead-pricing-guide](https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-07-15-uplead-pricing-guide) - [https://docs.uplead.com/](https://docs.uplead.com/) 6 source URLs.

Pricing: Essentials ($99/mo billed monthly, ~$74/mo annual) and Plus ($199/mo, ~$149/mo annual) are self-serve and include a limited real-time "Enrichment API" (Plus adds a "Prospector Pro API" for search). Full/unrestricted API access is reserved for the Professional tier - annual-only, custom-priced, "Book a Demo" only, no self-serve checkout - functionally enterprise-gated for complete API use. 2026-09-03: vendor docs state the Person API (https://api.uplead.com/v2/person-search) takes first_name, last_name and domain and returns linkedin_url (https://docs.uplead.com/); the only MCP surfaces are the Zapier and Pipedream community wrappers, which name no such tool; the docs state "One credit will be deducted for each contact or company record that you receive", charged only when the email status is Valid or Accept All. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 01-uplead - **Source file**: 01-data-enrichment.md - **Source line**: 331 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-09-03 - **Data baked**: 2026-09-27 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
