Example Prompts

Here are some prompts that work well with Attio MCP: Quick company lookup 
Search companies where domain is stripe.com, return company id, name, and number_of_employees
Find potential prospects 
Find people with title "Head of Marketing" at companies in the healthcare industry, return person id, full_name, and work_email
Update a record 
Given a company URL, set fundraising_stage to Series B
Start with a simple search or read operation to confirm the data structure, then chain additional Attio nodes or connect analysis nodes like Ask AI.

​
Troubleshooting

If your Attio MCP node isn’t working as expected, try these best practices:

​
Keep Prompts Simple and Specific

  • Good: “Search people with title CEO in San Francisco, return person id and name”
  • Bad: “Search CEOs in San Francisco, then add them to my VIP list and draft a welcome email”
It’s more efficient to break it into separate nodes. Attio MCP works best with focused, single action prompts.

​
Match What Attio Can Do

  • Good: “Read Company URL and return name, industry, and website”
  • Bad: “Read company 123abc and create a Google Slides presentation of its profile”
Attio MCP excels at CRM data operations. For presentation creation, combine it with Ask AI or Google Slides nodes in your workflow.

​
Break Complex Tasks Into Steps

Instead of trying to do everything in one prompt (which might cause timeouts or errors): 
Search Fortune 500 companies, find their CMOs, enrich contacts, and email each person with a personalized pitch
Break this into smaller, focused nodes that each handle one task:
1

Step 1: Search Companies

Search Fortune 500 companies, return company id and company name
2

Step 2: Find CMOs

Search people with title Chief Marketing Officer at Company ID, return person id and full_name
3

Step 3: Enrich Contacts

Given a Person ID, return primary_email and linkedin_url
4

Step 4: Send Email using a 'Gmail Sender' node

Send personalized email to jane@example.com with subject “Introduction to our AI platform” using Gmail Sender
In your workflow, connect these nodes sequentially. The company ids from Step 1 feed the prompts in Step 2, person ids from Step 2 feed Step 3, and enriched contact data from Step 3 powers Step 4.

​
Focus on Data Retrieval

Attio MCP is great at getting information from Attio. For analysis or content creation, connect it to other nodes. Example:
  • Good prompt: “Search companies founded after 2020 in the AI industry, return company id and name”
  • Bad prompt: “Search AI startups and write a 1 page market analysis report”
Use Ask AI for writing or analysis tasks, and keep Attio MCP focused on data retrieval.
