Create an account

Create an account

Creates an account, the company record that groups prospects in Outreach, from a name, domain and other company fields, and returns its id.

Note: Check for an existing account with account_search first. Prospects can't be written on the account: link each prospect to it through the prospect's account relationship.

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": { "outreach": { "url": "https://api.outreach.io/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool account_create.

Server URL: https://api.outreach.io/mcp

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.outreach.io/api/v2
• Endpoint: POST /accounts
• Auth: an OAuth access token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>
• Docs: https://developers.outreach.io/api/getting-started

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.
