Error Handling
The server includes comprehensive error handling for:
- Invalid API keys
- Rate limiting
- Network errors
- Invalid request parameters
- API response errors
All errors are returned in a structured format with descriptive messages.
Rate Limiting
Apollo.io has different rate limits for different endpoints:
- Single enrichment endpoints: Standard rate limits
- Bulk enrichment endpoints: 1/10th of standard rate limits
- Search endpoints: Higher rate limits for pagination
The server respects these limits and will return appropriate error messages if limits are exceeded.
Credit Usage
Different Apollo.io operations consume different types of credits:
- Email Credits: 1 credit per verified email found
- Export Credits: 1 credit per non-empty record (newer plans)
- Phone Credits: Additional charges for phone number reveals

- Claude Desktop
- Cody
- Continue
- Any MCP-compatible tool
Configure your AI assistant to connect to this server to enable Apollo.io functionality.
Persona and Intent Data
Persona Information
The server provides access to persona counts and created persona information through the account and organization endpoints. Persona data helps understand the types of contacts and their roles within organizations.
Intent Data Integration
While Apollo.io doesn't directly provide Bombora intent data through their standard API, the server is structured to easily integrate intent data when available. This typically requires:
- Separate Bombora API integration
- Data correlation between Apollo.io contacts and Bombora intent signals
- Custom enrichment workflows
Contact Apollo.io support for information about intent data partnerships and availability.
Support
