Search people

Search people

Returns the people (contacts) in Pipedrive whose name, email, phone, notes or custom fields match a search term, each with a relevance score.

Note: term needs at least 2 characters, or 1 with exact_match set.

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": { "pipedrive": { "url": "https://mcp.pipedrive.ai/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool searchPersons.

Server URL: https://mcp.pipedrive.ai/mcp

API (official)

• Base URL: https://{company_domain}.pipedrive.com
• Endpoint: GET /api/v2/persons/search
• Auth: send the header x-api-token: $PIPEDRIVE_API_KEY
• Get a key: https://app.pipedrive.com/settings/api
• Docs: https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1

Note: {company_domain} comes from GET https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/users/me. Persons, organizations, deals and activities are on /api/v2/; leads and notes on /api/v1/.

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.
