How do I find my PhantomBuster API Key?

In your PhantomBuster account, click on your name in the top right, go to **Org settings** or **Workspace settings**, and look for the **API Key** section.

Can I provide arguments when launching a Phantom?

Yes! The `launch_phantom` action accepts an optional `argument` field where you can provide a JSON string of parameters to override the default Phantom configuration.

How do I see the data extracted by a Phantom?

Use the `get_phantom_output` tool with the specific agent ID. It will return the results of the last successful execution of that Phantom.

PhantomBuster + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating PhantomBuster MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call PhantomBuster tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
