Product

What is Ravn?

A set of contact and company data tools for AI agents and the people who run them: verify emails, find work emails, read company websites, validate phones, identify companies from IPs and search people and companies on your own provider key. Over an MCP server, a CLI and a REST API.

Who is it for?

Founders, sales and growth teams, recruiters and developers who use Claude or other agents and want contact data they can trust before they act on it.

How accurate is email verification?

We check syntax, domain, mail servers, disposable and role lists, catch-all behaviour and, where enabled, the mailbox itself. When we can’t prove a mailbox exists we say so: mailbox_checked: false and never valid.

Can my agent sign up on its own?

No. A person has to receive the sign-in code. After that the agent can use the key, or connect over OAuth.

Is there a free trial?

The free plan is 1,000 lookups, no card. The live demo runs a dozen real lookups an hour with no account at all.

Billing

What does “a miss is free” mean?

If a tool finds nothing it answers status: "not_found" and gives the lookup back.

What does Ravn cost?

Free: 1,000 lookups to try. Ravn: $24 a month includes 10,000 lookups a month; beyond that it is $1 per 1,000 lookups ($0.001 each), billed monthly. Misses are free. You set a monthly spending cap (default $100 beyond the plan; $0 stops at 10,000) with npx ravn cap <dollars>.

How do people and company lookups work?

People search, company enrichment, reverse lookups and live carrier checks run on your own provider account: connect a People Data Labs key (people and companies) or a Twilio key (carrier). Without one, those tools return 403 provider_key_required. One lookup per call, and misses are free.

How do I cancel?

From the billing link in get_billing or npx ravn upgrade. Your plan runs to the end of the period.

Data & privacy

Where does the data come from?

Our own live checks (DNS, mail servers, company websites, public registries). People and company data comes from your own data-provider account, which Ravn calls for you. More on our data.

Do you scrape LinkedIn?

No. People and company lookups run on your own provider account and may include a LinkedIn URL, but Ravn never scrapes LinkedIn.

How do I opt out?

Enter your email or phone on the opt-out page. You’re never returned again, to anyone.

What can’t I use the data for?

Credit, employment, insurance or housing decisions, contacting people who opted out, spam, or anything personal rather than business. See fair use.
