# MCP

With Sumble MCP, you can ask questions in natural language and get back structured data about organizations, technologies, job postings, and people - directly inside tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGpt, or Gemini CLI. Behind the scenes, your AI assistant calls Sumble's API on your behalf.

## Getting started

Sumble is now listed in the [Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/sumble) and [ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/apps/sumble/asdk_app_69d6aed609708191a384fb6b59438690) app directories, so you can install it with one click on those platforms.

See this video to see how to find it in Claude

## Compatibility

On Claude and ChatGPT you can install Sumble directly from the app directory. Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini CLI use a custom MCP connection. It is possible in these LLMs

## Credits

MCP calls consume credits from your Sumble account, just like the [REST API](/api/api.md). The structured tools (find, enrich) follow the same pricing as the corresponding API endpoints. SQL queries via the `RunSqlQuery` tool are priced at 1 credit per 100 bytes of response data.

You can check your balance at any time by asking your assistant, or visit [sumble.com/account](https://sumble.com/account). To purchase additional credits, go to [Account > Purchase](https://sumble.com/account/purchase).

See [Credits](/web-app/exports-credits/credits-and-exports.md) for details on monthly allocations and purchasing.
