What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI-powered IDEs and tools connect to external data sources. Sixtyfour provides two MCP servers:| Server | URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Documentation | https://docs.sixtyfour.ai/mcp | Search Sixtyfour docs from your IDE |
| Filter Search | https://mcp.sixtyfour.ai/mcp?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY | Run both people and company filter searches via MCP tools |
Setup
Add both servers to your IDE’s MCP configuration file:Replace
YOUR_API_KEY with your Sixtyfour API key. The exact location of the MCP configuration file varies by IDE.Common IDE config paths
| IDE | Config location |
|---|---|
| Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json in your project root or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally |
| VS Code (Copilot) | .vscode/mcp.json in your project root |
| Claude Code | See CLI commands in each server section below |
| Windsurf | ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json |
Documentation MCP
Gives your IDE’s AI assistant direct access to Sixtyfour docs, API references, code examples, and guides — without leaving your editor.This command is scoped to the directory you run it from. To make the server available across all projects, add
--scope user to each command.Claude Code
Example usage
- “How do I use the company-intelligence endpoint?”
- “What parameters does find-email accept?”
- “Show me an example of using webhooks with Sixtyfour”
Filter Search MCP
Lets Claude Code or another MCP client drive the full filter search flow, discover fields, inspect top values, and run paginated searches — without calling the HTTP endpoints directly.This MCP server supports both
people and company search modes. Use the same server for both, and ask for people or company results in plain English.Claude Code
This command is scoped to the directory you run it from. To make the server available across all projects, add
--scope user to each command.Example usage
- “Use Sixtyfour filter search to find US companies with 100 to 5000 employees.”
- “Use Sixtyfour filter search to find VPs of Engineering at Series B SaaS startups in New York.”
- “Use Sixtyfour filter search to show the top values for
industryfor private Canadian companies.”
Ask Claude Code to return the generated
simple_filters or filters payload if you want the underlying query as JSON.
