What changes when Claude can query Crustdata
Building a prospect list or a hiring benchmark usually means a filter screen, an export and a spreadsheet. With the connector, you describe the list you want and Claude runs the Crustdata searches itself: companies by industry and headcount, people by title and seniority, open roles by company. The directory mentions 150+ search filters and 350+ enrichment datapoints.
Size a market in one question. Ask for AI startups within a headcount range: crustdata_company_search_db filters the company database, and crustdata_company_enrich fills in funding, headcount or revenue for the ones you keep.
Reach the right person. crustdata_people_search_db finds engineering leaders at a target account, then crustdata_people_enrich looks up a profile by its URL or by an email address.
Read hiring signals. crustdata_job_search_live fetches the roles a company has open right now, and the batch versions compare up to 10 companies at once.
Keep an eye on changes. crustdata_watcher_create sets up a watcher on Crustdata's side, sending updates to an address you choose (a webhook) when job posts, social posts or profiles change.
What it will not do: export into your CRM, send a message or email anyone. Nearly every search or enrichment spends Crustdata credits, and three tools about social posts and filter values have no matching description. Claude only calls these tools while it answers you.

The vocabulary in one minute
Six words you will meet while connecting Crustdata.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already own, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own; the directory sheet lists them by name.
- Authorization
- Crustdata's own sign-in page, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Given once per person, and you can take it back.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with something that changes your account, shown in the chat when it matters.
- Directory
- The official catalogue where every connector has a sheet listing its publisher, its purpose and the tools it exposes.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on, which is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Crustdata.
Connect Crustdata to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Crustdata in the connector list
In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for Crustdata. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector first; each member then connects individually.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row. Crustdata then opens a login page of its own: there you either enter the API key from your Crustdata account or log in with your usual Crustdata credentials.
- 03
Confirm the access
Read the screen before you confirm. It belongs to Crustdata, not to Claude, and it decides what the access covers. If authentication fails later, Disconnect and connect again with a valid key.
The 23 tools, sorted by what they do
Crustdata gives Claude 23 tools: 18 that read your account, 2 that change something in it, and 3 no official source describes.
Three groups: what Claude looks up, what it changes, and the three tools that no official text describes. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them. Credit costs come from Crustdata's documentation.

What Claude changes (2)
2 toolsTwo tools that create or edit watchers in your Crustdata account. No source gives them a confirmation of their own; the general rule below applies.
crustdata_watcher_create
Approval: see the ruleCreates a watcher on Crustdata that monitors job posts, social posts or profile changes and pushes updates to the address you give it, for 1 credit.
crustdata_watcher_update
Approval: see the ruleChanges an existing watcher: pause it, resume it or point it at another destination. Crustdata bills nothing for the change.
Undocumented (3)
3 toolsThe directory publishes these names. Crustdata describes tools under different names, and nothing official links the two, so we do not guess.
crustdata_company_linkedin_posts
No official source describes this tool under this name. Crustdata documents social-post tools under other names, and nothing official links them to this one.
crustdata_linkedin_posts
Listed on the directory sheet, missing from Crustdata's own tool table under this exact name. Its behavior is undocumented.
crustdata_autocomplete_linkedin_filter
The name appears on the sheet; the publisher's documentation uses a different name for its filter tools and does not connect the two, so this page says nothing about its result.
What Claude asks before it acts
By default, Claude stops and asks before any action it takes on your behalf. The request shows up in the chat, at the moment it matters.
On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members can let some actions through without being asked each time. They can also limit what a connector may do for the whole organization, for instance keeping searches open and closing the watcher tools; that setting applies to everyone. Claude works with your Crustdata access and nothing more: your key's limits and credit balance are its limits too.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. That answer, connector by connector, is not published anywhere; it is a real gap in the catalogue.
The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector for the organization before members connect. For the current status, the Crustdata sheet in the official directory is the reference. Credits are a separate matter, billed by Crustdata.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you. Watchers do monitor on their own, but on Crustdata's side, sending updates elsewhere, not into your chat.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions no public sheet shows. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic says on every sheet that it does not pick a publisher's tools or guarantee how they behave. Everything specific here comes from Crustdata's own documentation; Anthropic has no page on this connector. Other connector pages are in the Integrations hub.
