peoplerouter MCP ServerVerifiedFeatured

People search for your agent. One MCP endpoint to find candidates, researchers, developers, creators, industry experts and business contacts — across professional networks, academic research, open-source and model hubs, and social platforms — with merged profiles and source links.

What your agent can do

• people_search — find people by criteria (role, skills, location, company, research area), or a paper's authors from its DOI. Platforms include LinkedIn, Google Scholar, GitHub, Hugging Face, X, Xiaohongshu, Instagram and Zhihu; several can be searched in one call.
• people_enrich — enrich a known person's profile: work history, education, public links.
• companies_search / companies_enrich — find companies or enrich a known one.
• social_profile — read a social account's public profile.
• people_identity_resolve — link and verify the same person's accounts across platforms.
• people_contact_find — find or verify email and phone details.
• capabilities — coverage, providers and prices. Free.

When the unified tools do not cover a request, find_tool, endpoint and call_tool reach individual provider endpoints in the catalog.

Connect it

1. Create an API key at https://peoplerouter.ai/app — one click, it does not expire.
2. Add the server to your client with the key. Without it the endpoint answers 401.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http peoplerouter https://mcp.peoplerouter.ai --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PEOPLEROUTER_API_KEY"

Cursor, Windsurf and other clients with a JSON config:

{

      "url": "https://mcp.peoplerouter.ai",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PEOPLEROUTER_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that cannot send headers (Codex and others) — put the key in the URL:

https://mcp.peoplerouter.ai/u/YOUR_PEOPLEROUTER_API_KEY/mcp

3. Restart the client and ask: "Call PeopleRouter capabilities." It is free and lists what you can search.
