Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

pdl
pdl_autocomplete
Get suggested values for a search field along with the number of available records for each — useful for building valid Person/Company Search queries. Free on all plans. API: GET /autocomplete.
pdl_company_enrich
Find the single best-matching company record. Requires a non-ambiguous input — name OR website OR ticker OR profile (website/ticker/profile resolve more reliably than name). Returns firmographics (industry, size, location, etc.) or a 404 'no match' body. API: GET /company/enrich.
pdl_company_search
Search the full PDL Company Dataset with an Elasticsearch query object OR a SQL string over the Company Schema (e.g. all SaaS companies with 50-200 employees in the US). Paginate with scroll_token. Each returned record costs 1 credit. API: POST /company/search.
pdl_ip_enrich
Enrich an IP address with its location, company, and (optionally) associated person data via a 1:1 match against PDL's IP dataset. API: GET /ip/enrich.
pdl_job_posting_search
Search PDL's Job Posting Dataset (millions of active & historical postings sourced from company career pages) with an Elasticsearch query object OR a SQL string. Beta — may require plan access (HTTP 403 if not enabled). Each returned posting costs 1 credit. API: POST /job_posting/search.
pdl_person_enrich
Find the single best-matching person profile for a set of identifying attributes (name, email, phone, profile URL, company, etc.). Returns one record plus a likelihood score (1-10), or a 404 'no match' body. Use uniquely-identifying inputs for best results. API: GET /person/enrich.
pdl_person_identify
Given broad, possibly-ambiguous attributes about a person, return up to 20 strongly-related profiles ranked by match score. Sits between enrich (1:1) and search (open-ended) — ideal when you can't uniquely resolve someone. API: GET /person/identify.
pdl_person_search
Search the full PDL Person Dataset with an Elasticsearch query object OR a SQL string over the Person Schema (e.g. everyone with job_title_role='engineering' at a company). Returns matching profiles sorted by completeness; paginate with scroll_token. Each returned record costs 1 credit. API: POST /person/search.

Peopledatalabs — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Peopledatalabs do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: pdl_autocomplete, pdl_company_enrich, pdl_company_search, pdl_ip_enrich, pdl_job_posting_search, pdl_person_enrich and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Peopledatalabs working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 35 of 91 checks got a reply (38.5%), average response time 162 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Peopledatalabs as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Peopledatalabs?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Peopledatalabs need an API key?
No. Peopledatalabs completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Peopledatalabs?
It answers our handshake in 162 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Peopledatalabs open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
