Details
From the project READMEEvascrape MCP server
Find business leads with email addresses from inside Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client.
Ask your assistant things like:
- "Find 200 dentists in Austin with their email addresses."
- "Get me every plumber in Manchester with a phone number and website."
- "Export this Apollo search and give me the emails."
- "Build a list of CMOs at SaaS companies in California."
Evascrape runs the extraction on its own servers and returns structured records. Nothing runs in your browser and no source-platform login is used.
Get an API key
- Create an account at app.evascrape.com.

Keys start with
evs_live_.
Keep the key in your MCP client's config or secret store. Do not commit it to a repository.
Install
Requires Node.js 18 or newer.
Claude Code
claude mcp add evascrape --env EVASCRAPE_API_KEY=evs_live_xxx -- npx -y @evascrape/mcp
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and other clients
Add this to the client's MCP config file (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ...):
{
"mcpServers": {
"evascrape": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@evascrape/mcp"],
"env": { "EVASCRAPE_API_KEY": "evs_live_xxx" }
}
}
}
Claude Desktop users can also install the evascrape.mcpb file from the
latest GitHub release: open it with Claude Desktop
and paste the key when asked. The key is stored as a secret field.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Spends credit |
|---|---|---|
google_maps_leads | Businesses from Google Maps: name, address, phone, website, rating, email where published | yes |
apollo_export | Export a people search you already built on Apollo.io | yes |
linkedin_leads | People from LinkedIn audiences by job title, location, company, revenue | yes |
job_status | Check whether an extraction has finished | no |
download | Read the finished records as structured data | no |
check_balance | Remaining prepaid credit | no |
estimate_cost | Price a job before starting it | no |
Extractions are asynchronous: a tool call starts the job and returns an id, job_status reports
progress, and download returns the records once the job has succeeded.
The three tools that start a job spend prepaid credit. Most MCP clients ask you to approve each tool
call; ask the assistant to run estimate_cost first if you want to see the price before a job starts.
Pricing
Prepaid USD balance. Top-ups start from $10. No subscription, and credit does not expire.
| Source | Per 1,000 records |
|---|---|
| Google Maps | $12 |
| Apollo.io | $9 |
| LinkedIn / Sales Navigator | $9 |
| Real-time email verification (optional) | +$5 |
You pay for delivered records: the job reserves the amount when it starts and anything that could not be delivered is refunded automatically. Verification is charged only for delivered records that have an email address. Current prices: evascrape.com/pricing.
Configuration
| Variable | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
EVASCRAPE_API_KEY | yes | Key from your Evascrape account |
EVASCRAPE_BASE_URL | no | Override the API host, for testing. Must be https. |
Security and privacy
- The key is sent only to
https://app.evascrape.com(or thehttpshost you set), as a Bearer header. It is never written to stdout, logs or error messages. - Tool inputs are validated before any request is made.
- Requests identify themselves with the
evascrape-mcp/<version>user agent. - Only publicly available business data is collected; never private messages or login-protected content. See data sources and removal requests.
Privacy Policy
This server runs on your machine and sends your tool inputs (search terms, locations, filters, Apollo
URLs, job ids) and your API key to the Evascrape API at app.evascrape.com to run and read jobs. It
does not collect anything else and keeps no local files, logs or telemetry. Evascrape stores the jobs
and their results in your account. How Evascrape collects, uses, shares and retains data, and how to
contact us, is described in the Evascrape Privacy Policy.
Questions: [email protected].
Notes
- LinkedIn jobs take filters, not a search URL. If a list comes back short, set
include_unverifiedto true. - The same API is available directly over HTTP: evascrape.com/docs, OpenAPI at evascrape.com/docs/openapi.json.
Development
npm install
npm test
Tests run the real MCP stdio protocol against a local mock API; they never call Evascrape.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
