# Manual search with your AI assistant (/docs/leads/prospector/search-prospects/manual-search/mcp)

<Tools names={["search_people", "reveal_contact", "find_contact_email", "create_contact", "verify_contact"]} />

Connect the [MCP server](/docs/mcp#quickstart), then just ask. Searching is free; revealing an email costs 1 credit.

## Use case: get emails and start outreach [#use-case-get-emails-and-start-outreach]

> Reveal the emails for the first five and add them to my campaign “Q4 SaaS founders”.

It calls `reveal_contact` once per person (1 credit each), then `list_campaigns` and `add_prospect_to_campaign`. Turn on tool approval in your assistant to confirm each paid call.
