  "what_it_does": "A B2B contact and company database and sales intelligence platform, positioned around GDPR/CCPA-compliant data for EMEA-focused selling, with a browser extension for LinkedIn/website prospecting and human-verified phone numbers (\"Diamond Data\").",
  "ai_features": "An \"AI Search\" feature speeds up query-building and account research inside the product. The platform's actual headline differentiator (Diamond Data) is explicitly manual - human researchers call and verify each phone number - so the accuracy claim rests on human verification, not AI, despite AI branding elsewhere in the product.",

  "notes": "The only \"MCP\" result found was a viaSocket connector - viaSocket is a generic no-code integration platform that auto-generates wrapper pages for thousands of apps, not a purpose-built Cognism MCP server, so this does not meet the bar for official/community per the hard laws. No free tier or self-serve trial exists; API access is sold separately as a Data-as-a-Service product, quoted case-by-case and typically layered on top of $20K-$50K+/year platform contracts, with no published pricing. 2026-09-02: re-checked cognism.com/llms.txt (404) and web search; only viaSocket and Zapier aggregator wrappers surface, no MCP server found.",
