How to enable MCP enrichment

Inside the input form, scroll to the ✨ Enrichment section and follow these steps:

1. Toggle on the Enrich Output checkbox.
2. Pick a connector in the Enrichment Connector dropdown. If you don't have one yet, click the + button, paste the URL https://mcp.apollo.io/mcp, sign in with your Apollo.io account, and approve the OAuth request.
3. Run the actor. Every scraped item gets an extra enrichment object with the company profile: employee count, industry, LinkedIn URL, founding year, country, short description, funding total, and tech stack.

The enrichment is cached per unique company name, so multiple items from the same vendor cost only one Apollo credit. The single-company enrich endpoint is available on the Basic plan; the search-by-name fallback requires the Professional plan.
