Sixteen tools

Four keyless forever. Twelve behind an API key.

The keyless tools are top-of-funnel — draft, score, check deliverability, ping health. Hand it a key and the real pipeline plus read-only inspection light up.

Draft & score

Draft a cold pitch from a public signal, then score its fit before you commit — the top-of-funnel loop, no key required.

Install

Three IDEs, one config block.

The binary is cognilead-mcp, distributed via npm, run on demand with npx over stdio. A hosted remote endpoint is also live at cognilead.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP) for clients that connect over the network instead — same 16-tool contract, no local install required. Omit the API key either way to run in free-tier mode.

Prefer the CLI? npm install -g @cognilead/mcp-server (or run on demand with npx -y @cognilead/mcp-server). The four keyless tools work the moment the process starts — try cognilead.health to confirm it’s reachable. Add COGNILEAD_API_KEY to the same config any time to unlock the eleven gated tools, then restart your IDE. Full spec at /docs/mcp.

Your leads deserve to reach an inbox.

Every email you send without protection is a gamble on whether it reaches the inbox at all. Bring your leads — CogniLead handles the warmup, the safety checks, and the cleanup, so you don't have to think about deliverability again.
