Time to value

Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Needle to connect your favorite AI assistant directly to outbound sales channels and prospect lists. Operating as an MCP server with tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor, it lets you discover leads through specific buying signals. You can write personalized outreach messages using profile data and conversation history across LinkedIn, Instagram, and email. The system enforces sending limits, warms up connected accounts to prevent restrictions, and automatically skips existing customers, open pipeline deals, and recently contacted prospects across your team.
