# Clay documentation

Research date: 2026-09-03

Documentation coverage: partial.

Reference index, not a mirror of complete vendor documentation. Retrieved pages do not prove the MCP works.

## What it does

A spreadsheet-style workflow/orchestration tool that runs lead and company records through "waterfall" lookups across 100-200+ third-party data providers (Apollo, Lusha, Clearbit, etc.) and chains automation steps ("recipes") to build, enrich, and route prospect lists into a CRM or sequencer.

## Access and connection

MCP support: official

Access requirements: paid

Authentication: Session cookie - the same token used to log into app.clay.com in-browser, which grants full account access (tables, records, enrichments, CRM integrations, credits), not a scoped API key

Research checked: 2026-09-03

These details come from catalog research. Check vendor sources for current setup instructions; this is not proof of a tested connection.
