Needle
Finds leads and runs outreach campaigns from the A.I. agent you already use
Needle is an outbound sales tool that works with the A.I. agent you already use. The pages call it an "agentic outbound engine." It helps you find leads and run outreach campaigns on LinkedIn, Instagram and email.
Needle ships as an MCP server. That's a way to plug a tool into an A.I. agent. You connect it once, then ask your agent for a lead list and launch a campaign. Your agent drafts messages from the lead's profile and your past conversations with them. You review the angle once per segment. Built-in limits, warm-up schedules and suppression lists aim to protect your accounts. You pay per connected account, and lead lists are included. A 7-day free trial is available with no card.

Our take (opinion)
Best for
- 🚀 Founders and sales teams who already work in an A.I. agent like Claude Code or Codex
- Agencies managing outreach for many accounts
- Recruiters or fundraisers who want targeted lists and outreach
Watch out for
- Cost grows with each connected account, since you pay per sender.
- WhatsApp and SMS aren't available yet; the pages say they're coming soon.
- You need an MCP client and a LinkedIn, Instagram or email account to send from.
