# Find a person's email

Returns a person's verified work email from their name and company domain or name, or from their LinkedIn URL alone, with their name, job title and company.

Note: Charges 1 credit only when a verified email is found; a miss is a 200 with email_status not_found and costs nothing. Read valid_email for the verified address.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "anymailfinder": { "url": "https://api.anymailfinder.com/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `find_person_email`.

Server URL: https://api.anymailfinder.com/mcp

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://api.anymailfinder.com/v5.1
- Endpoint: `POST /find-email/person`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: $ANYMAILFINDER_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://app.anymailfinder.com/settings/api
- Docs: https://anymailfinder.com/email-finder-api/docs

Note: The key goes in Authorization as is, with no Bearer prefix. Searches can take up to 3 minutes; wait for the response instead of retrying. A 402 means the account is out of credits.

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
