Search people

Search people

Returns contacts who match job title, management level, department, company and location filters, with their title and accuracy score but not their emails or phone numbers.

Note: Filter values such as industries, departments and management levels are ZoomInfo's own: resolve them first with the lookup MCP tool, gtm lookup or the Lookup Data endpoint. Costs no credits but counts toward request limits. Enrich the people you keep for emails and phones.

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": { "zoominfo": { "url": "https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool search_contacts.

Server URL: https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp

CLI (official)

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

brew install zoominfo/gtm-ai/gtm-ai-cli
gtm --version

Run gtm contacts search.

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.zoominfo.com/gtm
• Endpoint: POST /data/v1/contacts/search
• Auth: an OAuth access token, sent as Authorization: Bearer <token>
• Docs: https://docs.gtm.ai/reference/api-overview

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.
