Search people

Search people

Returns people from lemlist's B2B database who match filters such as country, job title or department, with their LinkedIn profile and current company but no email address.

Note: Searches are limited to a number of queries every 24 hours, reported in the response's limitation; pages hold up to 100 people. Enrich the people you keep to get their emails.

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.

{ "mcpServers": { "lemlist": { "url": "https://app.lemlist.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool lemleads_search.

Server URL: https://app.lemlist.com/mcp

CLI (official)

Install the command and sign in with it, then confirm it runs.

npm install -g @lemlist-official/cli
lemlist --version

Run lemlist api POST /database/people.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.lemlist.com/api
• Endpoint: POST /database/people
• Auth: send the header Authorization: Basic $LEMLIST_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://app.lemlist.com/settings/integrations
• Docs: https://developer.lemlist.com/api-reference/getting-started/authentication

Note: LEMLIST_API_KEY holds the base64 of :<api key>, an empty username and the key; 20 requests every 2 seconds per key.

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.
