Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Page executes code built at runtime portal/index.html:239
        results.innerHTML = order.map(function (g) {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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.
