explee-mcp

MCP server wrapping the Explee B2B data API. Gives AI agents tools to search companies and people, enrich emails and phones, run AI agents, and manage deduplication lists.

Tools

Prerequisites

• An Explee API key

Option A — Use the hosted server (recommended)

No local setup needed. Pass your Explee API key as a Bearer token when registering the server.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http explee https://explee.drreamer.digital/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_EXPLEE_API_KEY"

Or add manually to .mcp.json at your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "explee": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://explee.drreamer.digital/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_EXPLEE_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Codex reads the token from an environment variable rather than embedding it in the command:

export EXPLEE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
codex mcp add explee --url https://explee.drreamer.digital/mcp \
  --bearer-token-env-var EXPLEE_API_KEY

Or add manually to ~/.codex/config.toml (global) or .codex/config.toml (project):

[mcp_servers.explee]
url = "https://explee.drreamer.digital/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "EXPLEE_API_KEY"

Option B — Run locally

Setup

git clone https://github.com/digitaldrreamer/explee-mcp
cd explee-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env:

EXPLEE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
PORT=3000

Build and start:

npm run build
npm start

For development with auto-reload:

npm run dev

The server listens at http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http explee http://localhost:3000/mcp

No --header needed — the server reads EXPLEE_API_KEY from its own .env.

Or manually in .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "explee": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

codex mcp add explee --url http://localhost:3000/mcp

Or manually in .codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.explee]
url = "http://localhost:3000/mcp"

Health check

curl http://localhost:3000/health
# {"ok":true,"server":"explee-mcp","version":"1.0.0"}
