Use Innovadata MCP when you want to describe a company selection in a chat and inspect the filters behind the answer. The connection can count companies and retrieve records. Sending those records to a CRM requires a separate CRM connection.
Connect your account
Create an API key in the portal. In an MCP-capable client, configure Streamable HTTP with the server address https://app.innovadata.eu/mcp and the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY. Use the client's credential settings for the real key; don't paste it into the conversation.
Client configuration varies. The API and MCP reference describes the connection and available tools.
Start with a count
Show the filters available for Estonia. Find the activity codes for accounting and count companies with at least five employees and an email address. Show the filters, but don't retrieve company records yet.
list_filters describes country-specific options; list_activities helps choose valid codes. count_companies then sizes the selection. Metadata and counts are free. Retrieving records on a metered account uses credits, so check the account terms before asking for rows.
Review a small batch
Once the criteria fit, request five records with the identifiers and fields that explain the selection. Keep missing contacts empty. A missing website field means no website is recorded in that field; verify the actual web presence before offering website services.
Use country plus registration code to check for existing CRM accounts. Preview the changes through your CRM connector before approving a write. Innovadata MCP itself doesn't write to the CRM.
For recurring imports, save the filters outside the chat. Compare MCP with REST before deciding how to schedule the job.
