# UpLead: MCP server status, API access gate and what it does > A B2B contact database and prospecting tool (vendor claims 160M+ contacts, 95% data accuracy) for building...

Site map for machines: [llms.txt](../llms.txt). The whole dataset: [directory.json](../data/directory.json).* --- [Directory](../index.md) / [Data & Enrichment](../categories/data-enrichment.md) / UpLead # UpLead [Community MCP](../mcp/community.md) [Paid, self-serve](../gates/paid.md) [Data & Enrichment](../categories/data-enrichment.md) RESEARCHED Checked 2026-08-24 > **RESEARCHED** Facts from public sources with URLs. No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [uplead.com](https://uplead.com) · entry id 01-uplead · source 01-data-enrichment.md line 331 **What it does** A B2B contact database and prospecting tool (vendor claims 160M+ contacts, 95% data accuracy) for building lead lists with verified emails, direct dials, and firmographic/technographic filters, with a browser extension and CRM integrations. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** No distinct AI/ML feature set found beyond standard match-and-verify logic (real-time email verification, intent-data overlays). Marketing emphasizes "accuracy" and "verified," not AI - functionally this is a traditional enrichment database rather than an AI product, despite appearing in "AI tools" roundups. **RevOps role** Prospecting/list-build and enrichment source; lower self-serve tiers cover manual search, CSV export, and a limited real-time Enrichment API, while full API/integration-building access requires the top custom-priced tier. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Community MCP - **Auth**: Handled through the Zapier/Pipedream platform's own connector auth (API key entered into that third-party platform), not a UpLead-native OAuth or API-key flow - **Parsed URLs**: 2 found in the mcp_url field A working server exists but somebody other than the vendor built it. It can be abandoned without the vendor noticing. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: community mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead (also listed on Pipedream: https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) - [https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead](https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead) - [https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead](https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Paid, self-serve - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, by paying, no sales call api_gate, verbatim from the file: paid **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Search people by criteria](../jobs/search-people-by-criteria.md) - [Search companies by firmographics](../jobs/search-companies-by-firmographics.md) - [Enrich a company from a domain](../jobs/enrich-company-from-domain.md) - [Find a work email address](../jobs/find-work-email.md) - [Find a phone number](../jobs/find-phone-number.md) - [Verify an email is deliverable](../jobs/verify-email-deliverable.md) - [Detect a company's tech stack](../jobs/detect-technographics.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.uplead.com/pricing/](https://www.uplead.com/pricing/) - [https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead](https://zapier.com/mcp/uplead) - [https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead](https://mcp.pipedream.com/app/uplead) - [https://www.landbase.com/blog/uplead-pricing](https://www.landbase.com/blog/uplead-pricing) - [https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-07-15-uplead-pricing-guide](https://www.cleanlist.ai/blog/2026-07-15-uplead-pricing-guide) 5 source URLs.

Pricing: Essentials ($99/mo billed monthly, ~$74/mo annual) and Plus ($199/mo, ~$149/mo annual) are self-serve and include a limited real-time "Enrichment API" (Plus adds a "Prospector Pro API" for search). Full/unrestricted API access is reserved for the Professional tier - annual-only, custom-priced, "Book a Demo" only, no self-serve checkout - functionally enterprise-gated for complete API use. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 01-uplead - **Source file**: 01-data-enrichment.md - **Source line**: 331 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
