You get a personal MCP link. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor:
1. Click your name, then Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.

Questions

What can the AI do in Apollo.io?

The AI can search Apollo's people and company databases, enrich people and companies, and read your saved contacts, accounts, deals, stages, users and sequences. It can create and update contacts, accounts, deals and tasks, add contacts to sequences, and stop or remove them again.

Does the AI see my Apollo.io API key?

No. Your Apollo.io API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with search and lookups only. Adding contacts to a sequence starts real emails, and removing contacts from a sequence can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Apollo.io account, and enrichment calls use your Apollo credits.

Why does my Apollo.io key need to be a master key?

Apollo only allows some endpoints, such as people search and sequences, with a master key. If you create a key limited to selected endpoints, the tools that need other endpoints are rejected by Apollo. A master key lets every tool you switch on work.
