Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open Settings and navigate to Integrations. 2. Find LeadIQ in the MCP directory and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to enter your LeadIQ API key — retrieve this from your LeadIQ account dashboard under API Settings or Developer Tools. 4. Paste the key into Switchy and click Authorize. 5. Switchy confirms the connection and displays available tools. 6. Open any Space and type '@LeadIQ check my account details' to verify the integration works and see your current credit balance. 7. If the response includes your plan tier and remaining credits, the setup succeeded. 8. To invoke a tool, @mention LeadIQ in a message followed by your request (e.g. '@LeadIQ find VPs of Sales at Series B SaaS companies in Austin'). 9. The MCP consumes LeadIQ credits per contact returned, so confirm your plan limits before running large searches.
What teammates see: by default, memories from LeadIQ are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

Example outputs
Illustrative - representative of the model's voice and quality, not literal recordings.
@LeadIQ find all VP-level marketing contacts at Series B SaaS companies in the Bay Area with 50-200 employees
Found 47 contacts matching your criteria. Results are grouped by company: Acme Analytics (3 contacts: VP Marketing, VP Product Marketing, VP Growth), DataFlow Inc (2 contacts: VP Marketing, VP Demand Gen), and 12 other companies. Each contact record includes verified email, phone, LinkedIn profile, and recent job history. This search consumed 47 contact tracking credits from your available balance of 1,200.
This example showcases the Search Grouped Advanced tool, which returns results organized by company for account-based prospecting. Before running similar searches, check your contact tracking credit balance with Get Contact Tracking Balance — each revealed contact consumes one credit. Filters like seniority and company size require appropriate data visibility settings on your LeadIQ plan.
@LeadIQ look up the company profile for stripe.com and show me their employee count, funding stage, and key technologies
Stripe (stripe.com): Payment processing platform with 8,100+ employees globally. Headquarters in San Francisco, CA. Funding stage: Series I (last raised $600M in 2023). Key technologies: Ruby, JavaScript, React, Python, AWS. Industry: Financial Services - Payments. LinkedIn company page has 520K+ followers. The company profile includes 15 office locations and links to recent news articles.
This demonstrates the Search Company tool for account research before prospecting. Company lookups do not consume contact tracking credits — only revealing individual contact details does. Use this to qualify accounts and understand organizational context before using Flat Advanced Search or Search People to find specific contacts within the company.
@LeadIQ summarize my API credit usage for the past 30 days and tell me if I'm on track to stay within my monthly allocation
Your LeadIQ account has consumed 3,847 contact tracking credits in the past 30 days (68% of your 5,000 monthly allocation). Current remaining balance: 1,153 credits. Usage breakdown: 2,100 credits from advanced searches, 1,520 from individual contact lookups, 227 from company searches revealing contacts. At your current pace (128 credits/day), you'll use approximately 3,840 credits this billing cycle, staying comfortably within your limit. Your plan renews in 7 days.
This example pairs the Get Usage Statistics and Get Account Details tools with AI reasoning to provide proactive credit management insights. LeadIQ's credit-based pricing means every contact reveal has a cost — understanding your consumption patterns helps avoid mid-month quota exhaustion. The AI can extrapolate trends, but actual billing logic lives in LeadIQ's system, not the MCP.
Use-case deep-dives
When LeadIQ beats manual LinkedIn scraping for cold outreach
A 2-person sales team at a Series A SaaS company needs 50 qualified leads per week for cold email. LeadIQ's Flat Advanced Search filters by seniority, company size, and location in one call—no tab-switching between LinkedIn and your CRM. The contact tracking balance tool prevents mid-sprint credit surprises. This works if your ICP is narrow (e.g., VP Sales at 50-200 person companies in EMEA) and you're willing to pay per contact. If you're casting a wide net or your team is over 5 SDRs, the credit burn gets expensive fast and you'll want a seat-based tool instead. For small teams with tight ICPs, LeadIQ turns 90 minutes of manual research into 10 minutes of filtered results.
Using LeadIQ for multi-stakeholder account mapping
A 4-person demand-gen team is prepping an ABM campaign targeting 30 enterprise accounts. They need contact info for 3-5 decision-makers per account (CFO, VP Ops, Director IT). LeadIQ's Search Grouped Advanced returns people nested under each company, so you see the org chart in one query instead of running 30 separate searches. The Search Company tool validates firmographics before you commit credits. This scenario breaks down if your target accounts are under 500 employees—LeadIQ's pricing assumes high-value deals, and you'll overpay for mid-market contacts. It also assumes you're not refreshing this list weekly; contact tracking credits deplete quickly with frequent re-checks. For quarterly ABM pushes at enterprise scale, LeadIQ maps stakeholders faster than stitching together ZoomInfo exports and LinkedIn Sales Nav.
When LeadIQ works for one-off executive research
A 3-person finance team at a pre-IPO company needs to identify and reach 20 institutional investor contacts in a two-week window. LeadIQ's Search People tool finds individuals by past company (e.g., partners who left Sequoia) and current role, returning email and phone in one call. The Get Usage Statistics tool keeps the CFO from blowing the monthly credit budget on a single project. This is a fit because the research is infrequent, high-stakes, and the contacts aren't in your CRM yet. If you're doing this monthly or need 200+ contacts, the per-lookup cost makes LeadIQ prohibitive—you'd want an unlimited seat license elsewhere. For occasional, high-value contact discovery where accuracy matters more than volume, LeadIQ delivers verified data without the overhead of a full sales intelligence platform.
Frequently asked
What does the LeadIQ MCP let me do in Switchy?
It searches for B2B contacts and companies using LeadIQ's database, then pulls those records into your Switchy workspace. You can filter by job title, seniority, company size, location, or search by name and LinkedIn URL. The MCP also checks your LeadIQ credit balance and usage stats so you know how many searches you have left before hitting your plan limit.
Do I need a paid LeadIQ account to use this MCP?
Yes. The MCP authenticates with a LeadIQ API key, which requires an active paid subscription. Free trials work if LeadIQ offers them, but you need API access enabled on your account. The MCP will fail on searches if your credit balance is zero, so check usage stats before running large contact pulls.
Can the LeadIQ MCP enrich contacts already in my CRM?
No. It only searches LeadIQ's database and returns new contact records. If you want to enrich existing CRM records with phone numbers or job changes, you'd need to export those contacts, search them individually through the MCP, then manually merge the results. LeadIQ's native CRM integrations handle enrichment automatically; this MCP does not.
How is this different from using LeadIQ's Chrome extension?
The extension is faster for one-off LinkedIn prospecting while browsing. The MCP is better for bulk searches inside Switchy workflows — like pulling 50 VPs of Sales at Series B companies, then feeding those contacts into an outreach sequence. You lose the visual LinkedIn overlay but gain programmable search filters and the ability to chain LeadIQ data into other tools.
Who on my team should connect the LeadIQ MCP?
Whoever owns your LeadIQ subscription and has API key access. That's usually a sales ops lead or RevOps manager. Once connected in Switchy, the whole team can run searches without needing their own LeadIQ logins. Just watch credit usage — searches burn through your shared account balance, so set expectations on how many contacts each person can pull per month.
