Overview

What changes for your prospecting

No more ticking filters one by one in a sales data tool. You describe the audience you're after in a full sentence, and Claude queries the Sprouts.ai B2B database for you: contacts, companies, job titles, industries, locations, company sizes. The results land in the conversation.

Build a prospect list from one sentence. sprouts_data_intelligence takes a fully written request, something like “VPs of Marketing at US SaaS companies using HubSpot”, and returns matching profiles. If you've set up an ideal customer profile, the search can be narrowed to it.

Push the right profiles into Sprouts. Once the list is trimmed, move_to_sprouts sends the selected contacts or accounts to your Sprouts platform, using the IDs from the search results. That step spends credits.

Pin down your target once. icp_analysis sets up your ideal customer profile, then scores prospects against it. Without targeting criteria filled in, Sprouts warns that every fit score stays at zero.

What the sheet doesn't say: two tools, query_refinement and search_history, are described by the publisher, yet nobody states whether they save anything. Signing in requires a work email address. And nothing runs by itself: no search reruns on a schedule. That kind of chaining is an automation tool's job, a different trade; the Integrations hub covers that side.

Vocabulary

The vocabulary in one minute

Five words you'll meet while connecting Sprouts.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
Tool
One named action a connector opens to Claude. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own, and the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The service's own sign-in screen, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can withdraw it anytime.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before going through with something that changes your account, shown in the chat when it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service at all.
Connect

Connect Sprouts Data Intelligence to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find Sprouts in Claude

    In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and locate Sprouts Data Intelligence in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector first so that each member can connect afterwards.

  2. 02

    Start the connection

    Click Connect on its row, then sign in to Sprouts in the window the service opens itself. If the link breaks at some point, use Disconnect and connect it again from that same row.

  3. 03

    Read the authorization screen

    Before accepting, read the authorization screen: it belongs to Sprouts, not Claude, and it decides what the access covers. Anything granted there can also be withdrawn later from your Sprouts account.

Tools

The 7 tools, grouped by what they do

Sprouts Data Intelligence gives Claude 7 tools: 1 that read your account, 4 that change something in it, and 2 no official source describes.

Three groups: what Claude reads, what it changes, and what the sources don't let us classify. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (1)

1 tool

One tool that searches the prospect database without touching anything.

sprouts_data_intelligence

Searches contacts and companies in the Sprouts B2B database from a complete sentence written the way you would say it. If an ideal customer profile is set up, the search can be filtered to it.

When it helps
you can describe the audience in one sentence: job title, industry, location, company size.
Watch out
Sprouts expects full sentences, not bare keywords.

What Claude changes (4)

4 tools

Four tools that act on your Sprouts workspace. No source details their confirmation, so the general rule below applies.

move_to_sprouts

Approval: see the rule

Sends contacts or accounts found during a search to your Sprouts platform. The IDs must come from the search results.

What Claude asks for
no source describes a confirmation specific to this tool, so the general approval rule applies.
When it helps
a search has returned profiles and you want the selected ones in your Sprouts platform.
Watch out
every transfer spends Sprouts credits.

Sourcesprouts-mcp-server.kartikay-dhar.workers.dev · October 1, 2026 ↗

query_templates

Approval: see the rule

Browses, applies, creates or deletes reusable prospect-search templates, so you restart from a proven query instead of rewriting it each time.

What Claude asks for
nothing specific is documented here; the general approval rule is what applies.
When it helps
a search resembles one already saved as a template, such as enterprise IT buyers.

Sourcesprouts-mcp-server.kartikay-dhar.workers.dev · October 1, 2026 ↗

icp_analysis

Approval: see the rule

Sets up your ideal customer profile (industries, company sizes, job titles, seniority, locations), then scores prospects against it. Sprouts also files profile updates, reports, a history and profile removal under it.

What Claude asks for
no tool-specific confirmation is described, the general rule applies.
When it helps
you want to know which accounts on a list truly fit your target.
Watch out
without targeting criteria, every score is zero.

Sourcesprouts-mcp-server.kartikay-dhar.workers.dev · October 1, 2026 ↗

sprouts_user_preferences

Approval: see the rule

Configures and saves your preferences for field selection and response optimisation, so later searches take them into account automatically.

What Claude asks for
there's no documented confirmation for this one; it falls back on the general approval rule.
When it helps
you only want certain fields in each result without repeating it every time.

Unsettled (2)

2 tools

The publisher describes both tools, but its own annotations don't mark them read-only. No source says whether they only look things up or also save something.

query_refinement

Sprouts presents this tool as an analysis of a prospect-search query, with suggestions to sharpen it by location, industry, size or job title. Its annotations nevertheless don't mark it read-only, and no source settles its effect on your workspace, so the general approval rule applies.

search_history

Per the publisher, this tool shows your past searches and the patterns across them, so you can run one again. Its annotations don't class it as read-only though, and no source says whether it only looks things up, so treat it under the general approval rule.

Approvals

What Claude asks you before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before every action it takes on an account for you. The request shows up in the conversation, right when it matters.

On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked each time. They can also cap what a connector may do across the organisation, keeping search open and closing transfers, for example. Nobody bypasses that from their own account. Finally, Claude works with your Sprouts access and nothing more than that: whatever your own account can't open stays closed to it too.

Plans

Which plans it's available on

Of the 819 sheets in the official directory, none shows availability by plan. The connector-by-connector answer isn't published anywhere: it's a real gap in the catalogue.

The general rule, though, 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 turns the connector on for the organisation before each member can connect. For the current state, check the connector's sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector isn't an automation: Claude calls these tools while it answers you, and nothing kicks off when a new prospect appears in the database. Only the publisher documents this connector.

The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The directory's partner badge isn't a security audit, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it doesn't choose the tools a publisher exposes or vouch for how they behave. Connect only what comes from a publisher you trust, here Sprouts.ai. Other connectors are listed on the Claude integrations page.

FAQ

FAQ about the Claude Sprouts Data Intelligence connector

01What can Claude do with the Sprouts Data Intelligence connector?
Claude can search for B2B prospects in the Sprouts.ai database from a plain-language sentence, then act on your Sprouts workspace. The seven tools on the sheet cover searching contacts and companies, moving profiles to the Sprouts platform, reusable search templates, your ideal customer profile and your field preferences. Of those seven, two are described by the publisher, but no source says whether they only consult data or also save something on your side.
02Can Claude add or delete data in Sprouts?
Yes, four tools act on your workspace. One moves contacts or accounts you found into the Sprouts platform, another creates or deletes search templates, a third sets up, updates or removes your ideal customer profile, and the last saves your preferences. Transfers spend credits. Two further tools stay unsettled: their annotations don't mark them read-only, and no source specifies what, if anything, they save in your account, so they fall under the general approval rule.
03Does Claude ask before acting in Sprouts?
By default, yes: Claude asks for confirmation before every action it takes on an account on your behalf. No source describes a confirmation specific to any Sprouts tool, so that default rule covers transfers, templates, the ideal customer profile and preferences alike. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members can let certain actions through without a prompt, and they can also close writing for the whole organisation.
04Which plans is it available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and no directory sheet shows it. The general rule is that remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner or Primary Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. The connector's sheet in the official directory remains the only place that shows its current state for your own account, so check it before rolling the connector out.
05Does Claude see our whole Sprouts account?
Claude works with your Sprouts access and nothing more: what your account can't reach, Claude can't reach either. The documented tools deal with the prospect database, your transfers, your search templates, your ideal customer profile and your preferences. Beyond that, an owner of a Team or Enterprise workspace can restrict what the connector may do for the whole organisation, and a member can't lift that restriction from their own account.
06Why does the Sprouts connector reject my sign-in?
One documented cause is a personal email address. Sprouts' documentation states that sign-in requires a work address and that Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook addresses aren't supported. Sign in again with your company address in the window Sprouts opens itself during the connection, then complete the authorization in your browser. If the link broke later on, cut the connector with Disconnect in Claude's settings, then connect it again from the same row in the list of connectors.
07Claude or an automation tool for Sprouts?
They answer different needs, so it depends on the task at hand. Claude works inside a conversation: you ask, Claude searches and, with your go-ahead, moves the profiles you select, and nothing else happens afterwards. It doesn't rerun searches on a schedule or react on its own to a new event. For processing that runs in the background, an automation tool is the right fit. A search asked for in the moment belongs to the conversation.
