Tools

What this MCP exposes

ToolInputsWhen to callCost
find-people title / company / domain / location filters Starting from ICP filters Lessie plan-dependent
enrich-contact person id or profile Shortlist narrowed and ready to contact Per-enrichment credit
find-company company name or domain + optional filters Account research before outreach Plan-dependent
send-email Gmail/Outlook account + to/subject/body Only after you review drafts — don't auto-send at scale Uses your own mailbox

Cost & Limits

What this costs to run

API quota
Depends on Lessie plan — the skill itself is just the prompt wrapper
Tokens per call
Moderate; responses can be large when listing 50+ contacts
Monetary
Free — skills are local files. Lessie's data API is paid; consult current plans.
Tip
Filter aggressively before enrichment; every enrichment call costs credits.

Security

Permissions, secrets, blast radius

Credential storage: Lessie API key in env var; Gmail/Outlook via OAuth if you use send-email
Data egress: Queries go to Lessie's API. Email sending goes via your provider.

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

Wrong trigger keywords — enrichment runs before filtering narrows the list

Explicitly: 'first find-people, then I'll pick who to enrich'.
