Search 1B+ people and 60M+ companies and enrich records via REST API or MCP, with results refreshed every 1 to 30 days and live real-time endpoints available.
An MCP server drops the entire people and company graph into your agent in a single line, so AI agents can act on accurate data instead of stale guesses.
Watchers alert you when a tracked person or company changes or a new match appears, with funding and job-change signals, and you pay only for new or changed results.
Searching is cheap and billed per result, so you can explore a wide list first and spend only on the people and companies you actually keep.
Profiles resolve to the right human across sources, with work email, personal email, phone, developer, and research profiles as optional add-ons.
Crustdata is a real-time B2B data provider aimed squarely at AI agents and the platforms that run them. Its core claim is that it indexes web pages and parses them into one live graph of people and companies, covering 1B+ people and 60M+ companies. That graph is then exposed through a REST API and an MCP server, so an agent can search, enrich, and monitor records without a human assembling filter menus.
The product set covers Search (people, company, and job queries), Enrichment (person, contact, and company profiles), Signals and Watchers, and pre-built Databases and skills. Data quality is framed around three ideas: freshness (records re-verified continuously, refreshed every 1 to 30 days and live where needed), depth (a whole profile rather than a single row), and resolution (every identity mapped to the right human).
Pricing is credit-based and designed for agents that make thousands of calls. Search costs from 0.03 credits per result, enrichment starts at 1 credit per person, and watchers start at 0.5 credits per new result, with credits lasting 12 months. Every new account starts with $20 in free credits, some calls such as autocomplete are free, and empty search results cost nothing. Enterprise plans with real-time endpoints and custom datasets are quoted by sales.
Enrich and search leads for an AI SDR, build prospect lists, and set up watchers on funding events and job changes to trigger timely outreach.
Source candidates with resolved work history, skills, and contact details, and monitor job changes to catch talent moves early.
Track champions, monitor companies for signals, and surface second-time founders and funding events for deal sourcing teams.
Drop the people and company graph into an agent through the MCP so it can search, enrich, and act on live records rather than stale data.
