Details

From the project README

ScraperCity - B2B Lead Generation for AI Agents

Pull leads, validate emails, find mobile numbers, and scrape business data - all from your AI agent, CLI, or code.

ScraperCity gives AI agents access to 15+ B2B data tools: Apollo scraping, Google Maps extraction, email finding/validation, mobile number lookup, skip tracing, ecommerce store data, criminal records, and more.

Quick Start

Option 1: CLI
npx scrapercity login            # enter your API key
npx scrapercity wallet           # check balance
npx scrapercity maps -q "plumbers" -l "Denver, CO"
npx scrapercity poll <runId>     # wait for results
npx scrapercity download <runId> # save CSV
Option 2: MCP Server (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Add to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scrapercity": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "--package", "scrapercity", "scrapercity-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCRAPERCITY_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then tell your AI: "Find 1000 plumbers in Denver with emails using ScraperCity"

Option 3: Skill File (Claude Code)

Copy the skill file into your project:

npx scrapercity-mcp --print-skill > SCRAPERCITY_SKILL.md

Or download from: https://scrapercity.com/agents/SKILL.md

Then in Claude Code: "Read SCRAPERCITY_SKILL.md and find me 2000 marketing directors at SaaS companies in California, validate their emails, and save to leads.csv"

Option 4: Direct API
# Start a Maps scrape
curl -X POST https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/scrape/maps \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchStringsArray":["plumbers"],"locationQuery":"Denver, CO","maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch":500}'

# Check status
curl https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/scrape/status/RUN_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_API_KEY"

# Download CSV when SUCCEEDED
curl -O https://app.scrapercity.com/api/downloads/RUN_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCRAPERCITY_API_KEY"

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.
