This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the People Data Labs API. It provides comprehensive access to People Data Labs' various data models and search capabilities. The peopledatalabs mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 11 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Utilities — The Utilities tool exposed by this serverenrich_person — Enrich a person profile with additional data from People Data Labssearch_people — Search for people matching specific criteria using SQL-like queriesbulk_person_enrich — The bulk_person_enrich tool exposed by this serverenrich_company — The enrich_company tool exposed by this serversearch_companies — The search_companies tool exposed by this serversearch_schools — The search_schools tool exposed by this serversearch_locations — The search_locations tool exposed by this serversearch_job_titles — The search_job_titles tool exposed by this serversearch_skills — The search_skills tool exposed by this serverautocomplete — The autocomplete tool exposed by this serverYou will need one environment variable: PDL_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Peopledatalabs MCP's toolset — Utilities, enrich_person, search_people and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by phxdev1; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
