Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Clearout

Ask your AI whether an email address is safe to send to, or to find the work email of a contact at a company. It can verify single addresses, find emails from a name and domain, run reverse lookups on emails, LinkedIn profiles and domains, check MX and WHOIS records and follow your bulk lists. You get the answer in the chat without opening the Clearout dashboard.

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Is [email protected] a valid address?”
The AI verifies the address and returns its status, such as valid, invalid or catch-all, and whether it is disposable, free, role-based or gibberish.
“Find the email for Peter Jensen at Nordic Foods.”
It finds the company's domain from its name, then runs the email finder. If the request is queued, it checks back for the result.
“Who is behind [email protected]?”
It runs a reverse lookup and returns the person and company linked to the address.

What your AI can do

Verify one address instantly with flags for disposable, free, role and gibberish addresses, or check only whether it is a business or catch-all address.

Email finder and lookups

Follow bulk verification and finder lists, download verification results, check MX and WHOIS records and see your remaining credits.

“How far along is the bulk list I uploaded yesterday?”
It lists your bulk verification lists and reads the progress of the one you mean.
“Get me the results of the finished verification list.”
It returns a download link for the results of the list.

Questions

What can the AI do in Clearout?

It can verify single email addresses, check whether an address is a business or catch-all address, find emails from a name and company domain, and run reverse lookups on emails, LinkedIn profiles and domains. It can also check MX and WHOIS records, validate names, follow bulk verification and finder lists, download verification results and read your credits.

Does the AI see my Clearout API token?

No. Your Clearout API token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with only verification and credit checks. Tools that use Clearout credits, like the email finder and reverse lookups, can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Clearout account, and verifications, email finds and reverse lookups use your Clearout credits.

Does the AI use my Clearout credits?

Some tools do. Instant verification, the email finder and reverse lookups use Clearout credits from your account. The AI can check how many credits you have left before it starts, and you can switch off any tool you do not want it to use.
