Target prospects inside Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between tabs to find contact details. Use `search_people` and `search_companies` to pull live profiles straight into your chat interface. Your agent parses the output from `enrich_person` to build outreach lists while you stay in the flow. It turns raw search results into organized data you can actually use.

Manage your automation jobs in Claude Desktop

Keep tabs on your scraping and enrichment tasks without a dashboard. Trigger `list_automation_jobs` to see exactly what is running right now. Check `get_job_details` when you need to verify a specific run status. It keeps your automation feedback loop inside the same window where you draft your strategy.

Audit your API usage with Claude Desktop

Know exactly how much credit you have left before you start a big crawl. Run `get_api_quotas` to pull your current usage stats directly into the conversation. This MCP Server provides the numbers you need to decide if you should scale up a campaign. No more guessing if you have enough quota to finish the job.
