• ✓AI Variables generates a unique icebreaker per prospect from a single prompt, with no manual research per contact, and Intent Signal and Data Enrichment Agents handle sourcing and enrichment end to end.
• ✓Publishes an official MCP server at app.lemlist.com/mcp on every plan, a library of 38 free Claude skill files, and a full SOC 2 Type 2 report through its trust center.

Limitations
