Firecrawl Connector Gives Claude Live People Search Data From Apollo and FullEnrich

Why Claude needs a data provider for people search

According to Firecrawl, Claude on its own has no people database. Questions about who runs marketing at a company are answered from training data, which has a cutoff and leaves most people out. Firecrawl lists three problems: out-of-date roles, missing people outside well-known executive positions, and guessed email addresses. Given a name and a domain, Claude will write a firstname.lastname address whether or not the inbox exists, the company says.

Claude's web search can find team pages and press releases, which helps with well-known names. Searching a contact database by title, filtering by seniority and checking whether an address is deliverable all need a people data provider, Firecrawl argues.

Setup and pricing

The connector is added from Claude's directory. Users click Connect on the Firecrawl connector page, sign in to Firecrawl, pick the team to bill and approve. In a chat, they then open the + menu, go to Connectors and turn Firecrawl on. An org admin must also accept FullEnrich's terms in the Firecrawl dashboard. This is a one-time step, and FullEnrich tools will not run for the team until it is done. Claude Code users can install the official Firecrawl plugin instead.

No API key is needed, since the connector signs in to the user's Firecrawl account. The free plan includes 1,000 credits a month with no card required and returns an error when credits run out instead of charging. Firecrawl says that is enough for any number of free Apollo searches plus about 30 Apollo matches or 50 FullEnrich work emails. Its keyless tier does not cover people search.

Three providers, three starting points

• Apollo: start with a role and a company. Free previews show first name, masked surname, title, employer and whether an email exists. A work email, title and job history follow for chosen people.
• FullEnrich: start with a background. It filters profiles by skills, past employers, past titles, universities, seniority and time in role, and also offers work email, mobile number and reverse email lookup.
• Data Legion: start with a record you already hold. It matches a person from an email, phone number or name plus company, or a company from its domain, with a cheaper tier that skips contact data.

The people category in Firecrawl Alexandria also includes public registers. OpenSanctions checks a name against sanctions and politically exposed persons lists, and the NPI Registry confirms a US healthcare provider's identity, specialty and practice location. Prompts can leave provider names out: Claude asks Firecrawl Alexandria which tools can supply the data and what each costs, and that lookup is free.

A test run and the cost of each lookup

Firecrawl ran a search for marketing leaders at vercel.com, linear.app and notion.so through Firecrawl Alexandria on 18 October 2026. It returned nine previews for 0 credits: seven at Vercel and two at Linear. Six of the nine were flagged with an email on record. Nothing came back for notion.so, and Firecrawl notes that some companies are filed under a different domain. Titles were matched loosely, so results included a field marketing manager and a marketing manager alongside the CMO.

A follow-up prompt can reveal only the most senior people. Apollo person match costs 30 credits per matched person, and a miss is free, so three matches cost at most 90 credits. Firecrawl says Claude can show the total before each call.

Other prices cited: each FullEnrich profile returned from a background search costs 5 credits, and an empty search costs nothing. FullEnrich reverse email lookup costs 20 credits per match. Firecrawl gives example prompts for finding engineering managers in London who previously worked at Stripe or Monzo, identifying the owner of an email address, and checking whether contacts have changed jobs using Data Legion's base tier.

What it means for users

For recruiters, sales teams and anyone handling contact lists, the pitch is that Claude plans the search and reasons over the results while licensed providers supply the records. The free Apollo preview step lets users filter out junior or irrelevant people before paying to reveal contact details. The figures come from Firecrawl's own test and pricing, so results may vary by company and domain.
