Where TAPAC is published

Distribution for an MCP server is not one landing page — it is a set of places an agent, a crawler or a developer can independently check. This is the list for TAPAC, with the link to each one. If a link here is dead, the footprint is gone; that is the point of keeping it in the open.

MCP server for Cursor

Cursor config block, hosted endpoint, the two tools.

What an SMTP check proves

The four server replies (250 / 550 / 450-451 / catch-all) and why a verdict is a timestamp.

Contact finder API

Endpoint table, response shape, OpenAPI 3.1, JS SDK.

B2B lead list

Three kinds of rows in a list (live / dead / catch-all-unknown) and the decay numbers.

Lead scraping tool

Plain scraping vs search + SMTP verification; sources website / telegram / discord.

Hard, soft, blocked and catch-all bounces, with the decay figures and sources.

Catch-all email verification

Accept-all domains return unknown, not verified — and what to do with unknowns.

MCP server page

Ten parameters, published list prices only.

MCP server for Claude

Install for Claude, hosted endpoint, two tools.

B2B email finder

Two questions behind one request — does the person work there, does the mailbox exist — and how each find method answers them.

Email list cleaning

What a cleaning pass fixes, what it cannot (catch-all stays unknown), and why a cleaned file keeps decaying.

Email verification cost

Price per check versus price per usable contact: the three billing models and the four cost lines that never reach the invoice.

Lead enrichment API

What enrichment adds to a row and what it cannot prove; the three fields every enriched row should carry.

LinkedIn email finder

A profile proves the person exists, not that the mailbox does: pattern guessing versus a probe, and why catch-all domains come back unknown.

Bulk email verification

Valid, invalid, unknown at list scale: the catch-all share no re-check lowers, the decay clock, and the arithmetic on 10,000 rows.

Email finder vs email verifier

A finder proposes a string, a verifier asks the mail server: two failure modes, the leak in the handoff, and why catch-all comes back unknown.

Website contact extraction

Published versus inferred addresses, where business addresses actually sit, and the three states a collection pass produces.

Email verification webhooks

A check is a snapshot, not a subscription: what a verification webhook would have to watch, the decay numbers, and a re-check cadence that costs almost nothing.

CRM enrichment

Enrichment as a lookup at request time versus a bulk backfill that becomes a second, older database - and the three fields worth writing back.

Email verification data retention

Keep the state, the timestamp and the source - not a second copy of the mailbox. What to store, how long, and why the un-made copy is the erasure request you never have to audit.

Cold email domain warmup

Verification is accuracy, warmup is reputation: two failure modes that look identical, a four-week order of operations, and why a verified list still gets throttled.

Role-based email addresses

info@ is not a person: deliverability is fine, ownership is not. When a role mailbox is the right target, when only a named person counts, and why usable contacts are never counted as valid ones.

Lead generation for agencies

Agencies buy lists by client while per-seat tools charge by head: published entry prices of Apollo, Hunter, Lusha and ZoomInfo read as a yearly bar, against pay-per-contact.

Cost per replied lead

Cost per contact hides the contacts that never reply: the arithmetic of cost per replied lead, the same money read as a seat, and the three leaks that inflate it.

Verification logs

What an email audit trail has to record to be worth keeping - which mailbox, checked when, found where - and why a catch-all must never be promoted into the usable count.

Check on entry vs at send

Two verification policies, neither a superset of the other: what a check on entry proves, what a send-time check proves, and why the log is the only thing that reconciles them.

Verification SLA

An email verification SLA is three promises - a check at call time, honest labelling of catch-alls, a reproducible record - and not a guaranteed bounce rate.

Bounce rate benchmarks

The published numbers behind email verification - 2-5% versus 10-35%, 23% job churn, 40% dead in two years - what each one measures, and how to read your own log against them.

What an SMTP check proves

An SMTP check asks a mailbox whether an address exists. What the handshake proves, what it can never prove, and why catch-all domains have to be returned as unknown.

What verification accuracy can mean

A single accuracy percentage has no denominator. The states a mailbox check can return, the one state that is not a verdict, and the four numbers worth measuring instead.

How often a list needs re-checking

A stored list decays on two clocks - 23% job churn a year and 40% dead mailboxes in two years. The arithmetic behind a re-check cadence and what a pass costs.

When the delivery log never arrives

Three failures hide behind one aggregate sent count - hard bounce, soft failure, silent drop. The evidence that still exists and the triage ladder.

Where a lead pipeline loses contacts

Seven stages from discovery to reply, the failure mode of each, and which of them actually have a published rate.

When the mail server never answers

Deliverable, undeliverable, catch-all - and the fourth state nobody names: no answer at all. What causes a timeout and what to do with the contacts it touches.

What "delivered" actually means

The word describes a handoff between two servers, not a person reading. Four layers sit between a delivered count and an inbox, and only one is visible in a report.

Hard vs soft bounces

A hard bounce retires an address; a soft bounce only says the mailbox was not reachable right now. What each SMTP code licenses and how to keep a full mailbox from deleting a live contact.

An MX record is not a mailbox

A live MX record proves a domain can receive mail, not that a person exists behind an address - five setups where the domain checks out and the mailbox does not.

Disposable addresses are deliverable and worthless

A throwaway mailbox passes every existence check: why SMTP verification answers a different question than list quality, and how to handle disposable domains with a policy instead of a guess.

Duplicates inflate the number you report

The same person arrives from several sources and every count you quote is wrong by the amount you did not notice - why dedupe by address misses the expensive case.

A greylisted probe is not a bad address

A 4xx answer during a mailbox check is a request to come back later, not a verdict on the contact: why greylisting exists, and what an honest verifier does with a temporary answer.

Bounces do not get you blocked, complaints do

A hard bounce is a failure of your list data; a complaint is a person telling the mailbox provider your message was unwanted - Gmail asks bulk senders to keep that rate below 0.10%, never reaching 0.30%.

A verified contact without a date is an opinion

A verdict is about a moment, not a property: why a probe date on the row decides what you can do with a list, and what decays underneath it.

A domain check and a mailbox check answer different questions

Valid MX records say the domain can receive mail, not that the address exists: four levels of evidence, and where a domain-level pass gives false comfort.

An SMTP timeout is not a no

A server that goes silent has not refused: timeouts, greylisting and rate limits look alike, and folding silence into "undeliverable" silently deletes good contacts.

A verification result can be wrong in two directions

False positives bounce, false negatives vanish: how to size the error you can see against the one no report ever shows you.
