# What is CUFinder MCP

> **CUFinder MCP** lets AI agents securely access the CUFinder API and enrich their answers with real B2B data. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI tools to connect with third-party APIs in a secure, consistent way.

In our case, it connects AI tools with CUFinder, enabling things like finding verified business emails, enriching company profiles, discovering decision-makers, and accessing real-time B2B intelligence directly within your AI workflows, like this:
