# Email finder for your AI agent: a work address, verified, charged only when found

Give your agent a name and a company domain and it returns the work email, then verifies it. RouterGrowth runs the lookup across several email finders through one MCP server and stops at the first match, so you pay once, for the address that was found.

## Ask it like this

- Find the work email for these 120 people and mark each one valid, invalid or unknown. (`contact.find`, `contact.verify`)
- Clean this list of 2,000 addresses before I send to it. (`contact.verify`)
- I only have LinkedIn URLs. Get me the email and a mobile number for each. (`person.enrich`, `contact.find`, `contact.phone`)

## Connect

MCP server: `https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp` (OAuth, or an API key header).

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp
```

```bash
npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c contact.find -i '{"first_name": "Alex", "last_name": "Rivera", "company_domain": "example.com"}'
```

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTERGROWTH_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"capability": "contact.find", "input": {"first_name": "Alex", "last_name": "Rivera", "company_domain": "example.com"}}'
```

## Worth knowing

- **Charged on a match.** A lookup that finds nothing costs nothing. Budget from the number of people you expect to find, not the number you try.
- **Verification is its own call.** Verify the addresses you already hold without paying to find them again. A verdict of unknown, when the mail server cannot be reached, is free.
- **Several finders, one call.** The router tries the next provider when the first one misses, which is what a waterfall tool charges a subscription for.

## Questions

### What is the best email finder for an AI agent?

One it can call per person and pay for per match. RouterGrowth routes each lookup across several email finders through one MCP server and charges only for the address that is found.

### How do I verify an email address before sending?

contact.verify returns valid, invalid or unknown, with whether the domain is catch-all and which mail provider it uses. Send to the valid ones.

### Can I verify emails in bulk?

Yes. The agent runs the list in one batch, with a cap on the total it may spend, and returns the verdicts.

### Can it find phone numbers?

contact.phone returns a mobile number from a work email or a LinkedIn URL, charged only when one is found.
