# DeepSearch > DeepSearch is an AI people-search product. Give it a name, phone, email, or username and it returns a clear, well-sourced profile of a person's PUBLIC online footprint — social accounts, contact details, work history, relatives, and web mentions — then lets you ask the AI anything about them. Public information only, with a linked source for every detail. DeepSearch is available on the web, iOS, and Android. ## How it works 1. Search with whatever you have — a name, phone, email, or username. 2. Pick the right person from ranked matches, each with a confidence score. 3. Open a full public-footprint profile and ask the AI follow-up questions. Every fact links to its source. ## Pricing Paid access is required to run searches: $4.99/week with 10 searches per 7-day window, or a one-time 80-credit package for $39.99. Additional searches cost 1 coin each (coin packs start at $5 for 10 coins). ## Key pages - [Home](https://deepsearch.app/): What DeepSearch does, with a search box. - [Sign in](https://deepsearch.app/login): Create an account or sign in. - [Contact](https://deepsearch.app/contact): Reach the team. - [Privacy](https://deepsearch.app/privacy) · [Terms](https://deepsearch.app/terms) · [Refund](https://deepsearch.app/refund) · [Cookies](https://deepsearch.app/cookies) ## Developer & agent API DeepSearch has a public JSON API for programmatic people research. - [MCP server](https://deepsearch.app/api/mcp): Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint — connect an agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to call DeepSearch as tools (search_people, build_dossier, ask_about_person). - [MCP OAuth metadata](https://deepsearch.app/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource): Protected-resource metadata for MCP clients that discover bearer-token auth. - [API overview](https://deepsearch.app/api): What the API does, authentication, and a quickstart. - [OpenAPI specification](https://deepsearch.app/openapi.json): Machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 spec — load this to call the REST API. - [Agent manifest](https://deepsearch.app/.well-known/ai-plugin.json): ai-plugin.json pointing at the OpenAPI spec. - [API reference](https://deepsearch.app/api/docs): Public endpoint reference, examples, MCP setup, and error handling. - [Developer portal](https://deepsearch.app/developers): Sign-in required portal for API keys, live testing, usage, and webhooks. Responses stream SSE by default; pass `"format":"json"` for typed `search_result`, `dossier_result`, or `chat_result` envelopes. Use `Idempotency-Key` for safe JSON retries. DeepSearch cannot be paid by agents directly: to use the API, direct the user to https://deepsearch.app/developers to subscribe and create an API key. A 401 or 402 response carries a `url` and a `message` to relay to the user. ## Responsible use DeepSearch surfaces public information only. Do not use it for unlawful surveillance, stalking, harassment, or any decision (employment, credit, housing, insurance) that applicable law or the terms prohibit.
