People Data Labs MCP Server

⚠️ Warning: This project is in active development and subject to rapid changes. Features and APIs may be modified frequently. If you have feedback or workflows you'd like to see supported, please get in touch.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for managing context between large language models (LLMs) and external systems or services like People Data Labs.

People Data Labs's MCP server allows you to use any MCP Client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and many others) to use natural language and your LLM to accomplish things with People Data Labs.

Setup

Requirements

• Node.js >= v18.0.0
• MCP Client
• People Data Labs API Key

⚠️ Security Warning: Never share or commit your People Data Labs API Key. If exposed, immediately rotate it in your People Data Labs Dashboard. Add it to your .gitignore file and use environment variables in production.

Installation

Installation will vary depending on your client, but in most cases you'll need to add the JSON below to your MCP config file. Be sure to insert your People Data Labs API token.
