herohunt-ai/herohunt-mcp

Connects Claude and other MCP clients to HeroHunt's people search API covering 1 billion profiles across LinkedIn, GitHub, and StackOverflow. You get natural language search via the people_search tool, pagination for result sets, and enrichment options for email and phone data. Also exposes account management tools for checking credits, listing past searches, and rotating API keys. Ships with both remote HTTP endpoint support and stdio transport via npx. Useful when you need to query professional profiles programmatically or build AI workflows that involve candidate research and talent discovery. Requires a HeroHunt API key and uses a credit system per search.
