The author runs outbound and SEO work through Claude Code and reviewed sales/marketing MCP servers by job:
- Prospecting: Apollo (spends plan credits—docs suggest approval gates); Hunter's free 50/mo is cheapest; Exa at $0.02/email is a good yardstick.
- CRM: HubSpot's official server reads/writes contacts and deals via OAuth.
- SEO: DataForSEO, open source over npx, pay per request—hardest setup, cheapest to run.
- Web data: Firecrawl (1,000 free credits/mo, then $16/5,000 annual); Apify ($5 free).
- Aggregators: Composio (1,500+ tools, managed OAuth, 100k calls free then $29); Hyper bundles ad platforms, GA4, Klaviyo for $49/mo.
Key lesson: context size on connect matters—Hyper exposes every endpoint as its own tool, so token cost balloons at scale; Apify's search-then-call stays flat from 40 to 3,000 endpoints. Disable tools you don't use.
