Apollo Plugin for Claude Code and Cowork

Prospect, enrich leads, and add to outreach sequences with Apollo.io MCP Server

• Fast to install.
• Powerful in execution.
• Designed for real GTM workflows.

🔌 One-Click MCP Server Integration

This plugin automatically configures the Apollo MCP Server when installed. No manual server setup or config files. Install the plugin, authenticate with Apollo, and run /apollo:* commands.

✅ Powerful Skills

High-value skills that chain multiple Apollo APIs into complete workflows:

/apollo:enrich-lead

Best for: one-off enrichment and fast lead lookups. <br> Input: name, company, LinkedIn URL, or email <br> Output: enriched profile (role, location, company context) and suggested next steps

/apollo:prospect

Best for: turning an ICP into a shortlist fast. <br> Input: ICP description (industry, size, geography, titles) <br> Output: ranked lead table with enriched decision-makers

/apollo:sequence-load

Best for: taking action on a list. <br> Input: targeting criteria + target sequence <br> Output: preview of candidates, enrichment + dedupe, then bulk enrollment into the sequence

/apollo:analytics

Best for: answering performance questions without opening a dashboard. <br> Input: any question about emails, calls, meetings, tasks, opportunities, sequences, or conversation intelligence <br> Output: formatted tables with real Apollo data, broken down by rep, team, time, sequence, stage, or any other dimension

Important: sequence enrollment may trigger outbound depending on your sequence settings and sending configuration.

🧠 Model Recommendations (Quality-First)

Recommended: Opus (best quality)

Use Opus when you want the strongest reasoning and the most reliable multi-step tool orchestration.

• Best for: prospecting workflows, ambiguous matches, multi-step chaining, and anything high-stakes
• Tradeoff: higher latency and higher model usage cost on the Anthropic side

Strong fallback: Sonnet (faster)

Use Sonnet when you want speed for quick lookups, smaller jobs, or rapid iteration.

• Best for: quick searches, lightweight enrichment, and tight loops
• Tradeoff: may require more user guidance for complex multi-step workflows

In Claude Code, you can switch models via /model.

⚠️ Apollo Credits and Safety

Some operations consume Apollo credits:

• People enrichment typically costs 1 credit per person
• Bulk enrichment consumes credits based on how many people are enriched

This plugin is designed to warn and request confirmation before credit-consuming actions by default.

Sequence safety:

• Adding contacts to a sequence can enroll them into an active sequence
• Depending on your sequence settings, outbound may start automatically
• Always verify your sequence name, sending account, and enrollment volume before confirming

Quickstart Examples

Try these in Claude:

• “Enrich this lead: https://www.linkedin.com/in/…”
• “Find 25 VP Sales at SaaS companies (200-1000 employees) that raised funding in the last 6 months.”
• “Load the top 10 enriched leads into my sequence called ‘Q1 Enterprise Outbound’ and show me a preview before enrolling.”
• “Show me email and call performance by rep for this quarter, sorted by calls made.”
