Vendor: [zoominfo.com](https://zoominfo.com) · entry id 01-zoominfo · source 01-data-enrichment.md line 7 **What it does** A B2B contact/company database and go-to-market platform (500M+ contacts, 100M+ companies) built from web crawling, public filings, and human researchers, used for prospecting, account research, and lead enrichment. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** ML is used for record matching/deduplication and lead scoring; "Copilot" is an AI assistant that summarizes accounts, prioritizes leads, and drafts outreach emails on top of the database. The core value (the data itself) is not AI-generated - the AI layer is a research/writing assistant bolted onto a traditional data product. **RevOps role** Upstream contact/company data source feeding CRM, enrichment, and outbound tooling; typically the "system of record" for firmographic/contact data in larger RevOps stacks **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: Official MCP - **Auth**: OAuth for user-level access, or client credentials for service accounts; no API keys stored by the client. A local mcp-remote bridge is used for stdio clients. - **Parsed URLs**: 3 found in the mcp_url field The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established on 2026-08-25 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: official mcp_url, verbatim from the file: https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp (server card at https://gtm.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json; plugin repo https://github.com/Zoominfo/zoominfo-mcp-plugin) - [https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp](https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp) - [https://gtm.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json](https://gtm.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json) - [https://github.com/Zoominfo/zoominfo-mcp-plugin](https://github.com/Zoominfo/zoominfo-mcp-plugin) **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Free to start - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Yes, without talking to anyone api_gate, verbatim from the file: free (CHANGED 2026-08-25, see notes - the MCP/API path is now self-serve via GTM.AI; the classic seat-based ZoomInfo platform remains enterprise-only) **API documentation** [https://gtm.ai/docs](https://gtm.ai/docs) No documentation text is reproduced anywhere on this site. Read the vendor page for the prose. The structured docs digest specced in SPEC section 3 has not been built or crawled: docs_digest is null on every entry in this build. **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. A github.com URL already appears somewhere in this entry, which is a seed for that rail and not a measurement of repo health: - [https://github.com/Zoominfo/zoominfo-mcp-plugin](https://github.com/Zoominfo/zoominfo-mcp-plugin) **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) - [Research an account before a call](../jobs/research-account-for-call-prep.md) - [Draft personalized outreach](../jobs/draft-personalized-outreach.md) - [Score and prioritize leads](../jobs/score-and-prioritize-leads.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.

ZoomInfo launched GTM.AI (gtm.ai), a "headless GTM context layer," announced 2026-06-01, plus a GTM.AI CLI. The published pricing page states "one tier, no contract, no seat fees," 1,000 data credits plus 1,000 AI credits free to start with no credit card, then pay-as-you-go from a $20 minimum top-up at $0.10 per data credit (launch promo; $0.35 regular) and $0.05 per AI credit, charged once per record per year. Search, lookup, find-similar and GTM-context tools are documented as free to call; credits are consumed only on enrichment and AI research. The server card declares 22 tools (account_research, browse_audiences, browse_engagements, contact_research, conversation_intelligence, enrich_companies, enrich_company_signals, enrich_contacts, enrich_intent, enrich_news, enrich_scoops, find_recommended_contacts, find_similar_companies, find_similar_contacts, get_audience, gtm_context, lookup, search_companies, search_contacts, search_intent, search_scoops, update_gtm_context) at server version 3.0 over HTTP. gtm.ai also publishes /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json and /.well-known/api-catalog, which is the most agent-native discovery surface found anywhere in this directory. PRIOR STATE, kept on the record: as of 2026-08-24 this entry read api_gate enterprise-only, on the basis that no self-serve path existed and API access shipped inside annual contracts reportedly starting around $50K/year. That classic seat-based platform motion still exists; what changed is that a credit-metered self-serve door opened next to it. NOT VERIFIED THIS PASS: whether the free GTM.AI tier's data coverage matches a paid ZoomInfo seat, and whether "ZoomInfo Lite" (named in secondary sources as the permanent free tier) is the same thing as the GTM.AI free tier or a separate product. Both need a hands-on check before this is used on camera. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 01-zoominfo - **Source file**: 01-data-enrichment.md - **Source line**: 7 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-25 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
