  "summary": "ZoomInfo is automatable today through the GTM CLI. This record is the ZoomInfo go-to-market data platform. Apollo.io is a separate product. The homepage lists ZoomInfo MCP as a way to connect AI to verified B2B data, next to Sales, Marketing, Talent, and Operations, and it offers a free trial rather than a standing free plan. The Data API covers Contact, Company, Scoops, Intent, and News. Search counts against rate and request limits and does not charge a credit. Enrich counts against the record limit, and the first retrieval within 12 months charges a credit. Every API request uses OAuth 2.0. User-delegated access is Authorization Code with PKCE. Server-to-server access is Client Credentials. The access token is sent as Authorization: Bearer. ZoomInfo documents a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.zoominfo.com/mcp. The plugin README says authentication is OAuth and that a ZoomInfo account needs API access and product entitlements. Cursor uses an mcp-remote bridge because that client cannot complete this server's OAuth discovery directly. Documented data tools include company and contact search and enrich, lookup, similar and recommended contacts, intent, scoops, news, and audiences. Search is marked free of credits. Enrich uses Bulk Data credits. Account Research, Contact Research, and Update GTM Context use AI Action credits. The gtm CLI installs with Homebrew or npm install -g @zoominfo/gtm-ai-cli. gtm auth login opens a browser, and the token is stored under ~/.config/gtm-ai at mode 0600. Commands cover lookup, companies, contacts, intent, scoops, news, GTM context, research, and raw tool calls. Output can be JSON, JSONL, CSV, YAML, or a table. The CLI uses the same backend, authentication, and credits as the API and MCP server. SDK languages and connector catalogs were not opened. The webhook and events page linked from the docs index was not opened. https://docs.gtm.ai/llms.txt is a documentation index. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The CLI scores 8 and is the best path. The API and MCP each score 7 because enrich and several tools are credit- and entitlement-gated.\n"
