Overview

Sprouts Data Intelligence is the official MCP connector built by Sprouts.ai, an ABM and GTM intelligence platform. It lets an AI agent run natural language B2B prospecting queries against Sprouts' database of millions of contacts and companies, score results against an Ideal Customer Profile, enrich phone and email details, and push qualified leads into the Sprouts CRM workflow. Sprouts describes the experience as "query to qualified lead in seconds."

The server is provider-hosted by Sprouts.ai at claude.mcpsprouts.ai. Authentication is handled through OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (implemented via Scalekit) and requires a work email, personal email providers like Gmail or Outlook are not accepted. Each tool carries its own scope so users explicitly consent to specific actions such as data queries, account discovery, ICP analysis, or signal routing. Behind the OAuth layer, Sprouts runs a Python server backed by Redis, Elasticsearch, and tenant-level Postgres serving roughly 400 million data points.

The connector is listed in the official Anthropic connectors catalog and works in Claude web, Claude Desktop, Claude mobile, Claude Code, and via the Claude API. It supports both read and write operations, including pushing enriched contacts and accounts into the Sprouts platform. Some tools, such as phone and email enrichment, consume Sprouts credits.

Credits in your Sprouts account for phone/email enrichment (2-10 credits per reveal).

Claude Web (claude.ai)

Open profile menu, then Settings, then Connectors.
Click "Add Custom Connector".
Name it Sprouts Data Intelligence.
Server URL: https://claude.mcpsprouts.ai/sse
Complete the OAuth sign-in with your work email.

Claude Desktop

Open claude_desktop_config.json (Cmd+, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sprouts": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://claude.mcpsprouts.ai/sse"

Notes

Authentication is OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, no static API key is required in the config.
The server supports tool-level scopes, so users approve each capability (queries, exports, enrichment) at consent time.

Use Cases

Targeted prospecting: Ask for "VPs of Sales at SaaS companies in San Francisco with 50-200 employees" and get a ranked, clustered list of decision makers.
ICP scoring: Define an Ideal Customer Profile, then score a list of imported accounts to focus SDR effort on the highest-fit prospects.
Contact enrichment: Reveal verified phone numbers and email addresses for shortlisted contacts before adding them to an outbound sequence.
CRM push: Move qualified contacts and accounts directly from a Claude conversation into the Sprouts outreach platform without leaving the chat.
Recruiting and talent mapping: Search for engineers, GTM leaders, or other talent profiles by experience, location, and current company.

Example Prompts

"Find me CROs and VPs of Sales at Series B SaaS companies in the US with 100-500 employees and cluster the results by industry."
"Score these 50 accounts against an ICP of mid-market fintech companies in EMEA and tell me the top 10."
"Enrich the phone and email for the top 5 contacts from my last search."
"Move the qualified contacts from this query into Sprouts using my saved customer ID."
"Show me my search history from the last week and refine my best performing query."
