BusinessMCP Hub Terms

Last updated: 28 September 2026

These terms govern the BusinessMCP Hub: the Data API, the Hub MCP endpoint, and the tools sold through them. They add to our Terms of Service, which continue to apply, including their disclaimers and limitation of liability. Where the two differ on the Hub, these terms win.

Version 2026-09-27. People-data section version 2026-09-28. When you turn on billing, and again before your first people call, you accept the version shown here, and we record which one.

The service

BusinessMCP, Inc.(“BusinessMCP”, “we”) sells access to data tools per call, as REST endpoints and as MCP tools, through an API key issued to your workspace. Some tools are ours (“first party”); others are supplied by third parties through our marketplace (see below). The tools, their inputs and their prices are listed on the Data API pages and in the reference.

Credits and billing

  • Every tool is priced in credits. Each calendar month (UTC) your first 1,000 credits on first-party tools are free. Free credits do not roll over and do not apply to marketplace tools.
  • After that, credits are billed in arrears each month through Stripe at a graduated price: $2.00 per 1,000 from 0 to 100,000, $1.20 per 1,000 from 100,000 to 1,000,000, $0.80 per 1,000 above 1,000,000. Prices exclude taxes, which are added where they apply.
  • A paying account starts with a monthly cap of 50,000 billable credits, which you can change, and you can set a lower cap on any key. A call that would take you over a cap is refused, not partly charged.
  • A call is charged when it runs. It is refunded automatically when the tool fails, and for tools priced per result, when nothing is found. Input that fails validation is never charged.
  • Hub billing is a separate subscription from any BusinessMCP plan. Cancelling one does not cancel the other, and credits already used are billed either way.

Acceptable use

  • Do not copy, scrape or resell the data you receive as a dataset or a service that competes with ours. Using results inside your own product and workflows is what the Hub is for.
  • Do not use any result to discriminate unlawfully against anyone, or to decide anyone’s eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, housing or any other purpose covered by the US Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Hub is not a consumer reporting agency and its data is not a consumer report.
  • Do not contact, or keep contacting, anyone who has opted out, with us or with you.
  • Do not probe, overload or try to get around rate limits, caps, key scopes or the controls on any tool, and keep your keys secret.

People data

Some tools return records about individuals in their professional capacity. What those records are and where they come from is on our data-broker disclosure. Before your first people call you accept this section and declare your purpose, one of: b2b sales prospecting; b2b marketing to business contacts; recruiting outreach (not screening or eligibility); updating my own crm records; verifying a business contact.

  • Use people records only for the purpose you declared, and only for a legitimate business-to-business purpose. None of the permitted purposes is an eligibility decision.
  • Honour opt-outs. Remove a person from your use when they ask you to, and do not re-add them from our data. We filter every result against our own suppression list, and you must not work around it.
  • You are responsible for how you contact people, including compliance with CAN-SPAM, the TCPA, CASL and any other law that applies to you, and for any notice you must give them.
  • We never return records about people we place in the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, about people we place in California, Texas, Vermont and Oregon, or about people we cannot place (in the United States, in a state). Do not try to obtain those records through the Hub.
  • An account may receive up to 500 people records a day unless we agree a higher limit.
  • We log every disclosure: which records went to which account and key, when, and for what declared purpose. We may use the log to answer regulators and the people concerned.
  • We may suspend people access, or your account, if we reasonably believe these rules are being broken, and we may do so without notice where people could be harmed.

Marketplace tools

Third parties supply some tools. Each tool shows a trust tier: first party (ours), verified (a seller with a verified domain whose server we reviewed) or reviewed(a no-code tool that passed our review). Nothing is listed without our review, and we can suspend any tool at any time. A seller’s own unreviewed tools are visible to that seller only.

We are the merchant of record: you buy every tool from us, on one invoice. A marketplace tool’s output comes from its seller. We screen it, but we do not guarantee it, and the disclaimers in our Terms of Service apply to it as they do to ours.

Selling on the Hub

  • Sellers are paid through Stripe Connect and must complete Stripe’s onboarding. You set a price in credits per call. You earn a fixed amount per billable credit your tools use, after our 20% platform fee: $0.64 per 1,000 credits.
  • Earnings become payable 14days after the buyer’s invoice is paid, and are paid on the 15th of the month once your balance reaches $25.00.
  • If a buyer is refunded, we deduct the matching share of your earnings. If a buyer disputes a charge, the related unpaid earnings are held; if the dispute is lost, they are cancelled, and anything already paid is deducted from future earnings.
  • You warrant that you have the right to offer your tool and its data, that it does what its listing says, and that it complies with the law. You must not use a buyer’s inputs for anything except answering their call. We may suspend a tool that fails, changes its behaviour or breaks these terms.

Suspension, changes and liability

We may suspend a key, a tool or an account that breaks these terms or puts people or the service at risk. We may change these terms and our prices; we will tell billed accounts by email before a material change takes effect, and you will be asked to accept a new version before your next people call. Our Terms of Service govern warranties and liability, and their disclaimers and limitation of liability apply to the Hub.
