MCP support
Exposes 15 public-data lead-generation tools to MCP clients. Each tool starts an Apify Actor on the configured Apify account and returns JSON results.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx panda-leads-toolsAPIFY_TOKENSecretApify API token. Free token: https://console.apify.com/settings/integrationsLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEPanda Leads Tools
Give Claude, Cursor or any MCP client 15 public lead-generation tools: local businesses, healthcare providers, podcasts, hiring signals, company enrichment and team pages, new Florida, Texas, New York and Colorado businesses, French companies, permits, carriers, nonprofits and H-1B sponsors. Each tool runs one public-data Apify Actor on your own Apify account and is priced per result. Part of the Panda Federation toolkit (40 tools in four focused servers).

Other ways to install
From the umbrella package (same tools):
uvx --from panda-federation-tools panda-leads-tools
From this repo instead of PyPI:
uvx --from git+https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-leads-tools panda-leads-tools
Docker (stdio):
docker build -t panda-leads-tools .
docker run -i --rm -e APIFY_TOKEN panda-leads-tools
Cursor / Claude / VS Code: command uvx, args ["panda-leads-tools"], env APIFY_TOKEN.
Official MCP Registry name for this stdio package: io.github.pandadad0214/panda-leads-tools (server.json). Registry clients install the PyPI package with uvx panda-leads-tools. The git command above stays the install path from this repo.
Use with Gemini CLI
Install this repo as a Gemini CLI extension (adds the MCP server plus a short GEMINI.md context file). Needs Gemini CLI, uv, and a free Apify token.
gemini extensions install https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-leads-tools
The extension prompts for APIFY_TOKEN on install and launches the server with uvx panda-leads-tools. Gallery listing is automatic once this public repo carries the gemini-cli-extension topic and a root gemini-extension.json (crawled daily).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
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.
