After connecting your MCP client, try these prompts with your AI assistant.

Section titled “Find companies similar to your best customers”

Prompt:

Find 20 B2B SaaS companies similar to figma.com and miro.com, with 50–200 employees, based in the US or UK.

Tool called: discover-similar-companies

{
"domain": ["figma.com", "miro.com"],
"country": ["US", "GB"],
"employee_range": "50,200",

Describe your ideal customer in plain English

Section titled “Describe your ideal customer in plain English”

Prompt:

I’m looking for mid-market e-commerce platforms in Europe that offer headless commerce or composable storefronts. Find me 50 matches.

Tool called: discover-similar-companies

{
"icp_prompt": "mid-market e-commerce platforms in Europe that offer headless commerce or composable storefronts",
"max_records": 50
}

The icp_prompt parameter uses an LLM to automatically extract filters (Europe → country codes, mid-market → employee range), generate search text, and suggest example domains — all from one natural language description.

Tool called: match-contacts

{
"name": "John Smith",
"company_name": "Salesforce"
}

Tool called: business-profile

{
"domain": "stripe.com"
}

Returns company name, operating status, HQ address, phone numbers, public emails, social profiles (LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub), business description, industry classifications, employee count range, digital footprint score (1–800), and last update date.


Prompt:

Find VPs and directors of marketing at hubspot.com, mailchimp.com, klaviyo.com, brevo.com, and customer.io. Only people with validated emails.

Tool called: search-contacts

{
"domain": ["hubspot.com", "mailchimp.com", "klaviyo.com", "brevo.com", "customer.io"],
"seniority": "vp",
"department": "Marketing",
"has_email": true,
"email_validated": true,
"max_records": 50,

}

Prompt:

Tool called: vendor-and-technology-data

{
"domain": "notion.so",
"match": "client"
}

Prompt:

What does linear.app do? Pull their website text so we can understand their positioning.

Tool called: extract-website-text

{
"domain": "linear.app"
}

Returns up-to-date homepage text from 65M+ business websites — results are instant. Free for any domain you’ve already discovered in the last 90 days. Useful for analyzing a company’s positioning, product description, or messaging when discovery filters alone aren’t enough.


Prompt:

Does www.heroku.com redirect somewhere? Show me all known redirects.

Tool called: domain-redirects

{
"filters": {
"domain": "heroku.com",
"match": "from"
}
}

Returns redirect mappings — useful for understanding domain consolidations, brand changes, and aliases. Use match: "from" to see where a domain redirects to, or match: "to" to find domains that redirect to it.


Prompt:

I have these 5 domains — get me firmographic data and growth trends for all of them: stripe.com, plaid.com, brex.com, ramp.com, mercury.com

Tool called: append-data

{
"filters": {
"domains": ["stripe.com", "plaid.com", "brex.com", "ramp.com", "mercury.com"],
"dataset": ["bizdata", "growth"]
}
}

Enriches up to 100 domains per call with one or more datasets: bizdata (firmographics), growth (quarterly trends), redirects (redirect mappings), or domain_status (active/parked/expired). More efficient than calling single-domain tools in a loop.


Prompt:

Tag my “US fintech prospects” query as “fintech” and “outbound-q2”, then show me all queries tagged “fintech”.

Tools called: add-tags-to-query, then list-saved-queries

{
"input": {
"query_id": "abc123",
"tags": ["fintech", "outbound-q2"]
}
}

Tags are free-form labels for organizing saved queries. Related tools:

  • list-tags — see all tags in your organization
  • remove-tags-from-query — remove tags from a query
  • get-domains-by-tags — pull all domains from queries matching specific tags (supports match: "any" or match: "all")

Prompt:

Give me every domain from queries tagged “fintech” or “payments”.

Tool called: get-domains-by-tags

{
"input": {
"tags": ["fintech", "payments"],
"match": "any"
}
}

Returns deduplicated domains from all saved queries that match the specified tags. Use match: "all" to require every tag, or match: "any" (default) for a union.


Prompt:

For each of these domains, tell me if they offer a free trial and what their pricing model is: notion.so, linear.app, clickup.com, monday.com, asana.com

Tool called: run-discogen

{
"query": "Does this company offer a free trial? What is their pricing model (freemium, free trial, demo only, contact sales)?",
"domains": ["notion.so", "linear.app", "clickup.com", "monday.com", "asana.com"],
"context_mode": "website",
"web_search": false
}

With ≤10 domains, results return directly — no polling needed. DiscoGen auto-detects the response format and returns structured answers per domain.


Prompt:

Check which of these 200 companies are hiring for AI/ML roles right now.

Tool called: run-discogen, then get-discogen-status

{
"query": "Is this company currently hiring for AI or machine learning roles?",
"domains": ["... 200 domains ..."],
"context_mode": "domain",
"web_search": true
}

With >10 domains, the tool returns a task_id. Poll with get-discogen-status until status is "completed".


Prompt:

For these contacts, check if they’re a decision-maker for developer tools purchases.

Tool called: run-discogen-personas

{
"query": "Based on this person's title and seniority, are they likely a decision-maker for purchasing developer tools?",
"persona_ids": [12345, 12346, 12347],
"context_mode": "company"
}
