## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

Guide and FAQs: [Lead Generation MCP on themineworks.com](https://themineworks.com/actors/lead-generation-mcp/).

**B2B and local lead generation for AI agents: people, verified emails, and business lists behind one MCP endpoint.**

Eight tools: who works at a company, how to reach them, whether the emails actually deliver, and what the internet thinks of the business. Normalized JSON, no cookies, no login.

Built by [The Mine Works](https://apify.com/themineworks?fpr=ymnoit\&utm_source=apify-readme\&utm_medium=referral).

### What the Lead Generation MCP can do

| Tool | What it returns | Price |
|---|---|---|
| `find_leads` | People at a company with roles and work emails | $0.075 / 25 leads |
| `verify_emails` | Syntax, MX, live SMTP, disposable and role-mailbox verdicts | $0.0625 / 25 emails |
| `find_site_contacts` | Emails, phones and socials from company websites | $0.0625 / 25 domains |
| `maps_leads` | Google Maps businesses with an MX-verified email each | $0.0475 / 25 leads |
| `search_places` | Raw Google Maps place results, no email extraction | $0.0625 / 25 places |
| `yellowpages_search` | US business listings by category and city | $0.05 / 25 listings |
| `trustpilot_lookup` | Trustpilot domain, TrustScore and review count | $0.05 / 25 businesses |
| `prospect_dossier` | People + site contacts + verified emails + reputation, one call | **$0.25** complete · $0.06 partial · $0.02/section · $0 nothing found |

**The dossier always costs less than calling the tools one by one.**

### Build a full prospect pack for one company

Ask your agent: *"Build me a prospect pack for Notion."*

```json
// tools/call → prospect_dossier
{ "company": "Notion", "domain": "notion.so", "job_titles": ["marketing"] }
```

Returns `people`, `site_contacts`, `email_verification` and `reputation` in one object. Every email the discovery sections surface gets a live SMTP verdict before you ever send to it.

### Find local businesses by category and city

```json
// tools/call → yellowpages_search
{ "search_term": "plumbers", "location": "Chicago, IL", "max_results": 100 }
```

### Connect the Lead Generation MCP to Claude, Cursor or Windsurf

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lead-generation": {
      "url": "https://themineworks--lead-generation-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}
```

Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Cold start ~8s.

### What does the Lead Generation MCP cost

**No result, no charge. Ever.** A company with no findable people returns an empty, unbilled answer. `maps_leads` never bills a lead without a working email.

Identical repeat calls within 60 seconds are free. Apify platform usage is billed by Apify on top, as with any Standby actor.

### What this lead generation MCP does not cover

- **`find_leads` quality depends on the company's web presence.** Domains beat bare names. Small companies with thin sites return fewer people, unbilled where nothing is found.
- **Email verification cannot see past catch-all servers.** A catch-all domain returns "catch-all", not a false "valid".
- **`trustpilot_lookup` and `yellowpages_search` need US residential proxy** upstream; expect 20-45s. Yellow Pages runs a real browser because Cloudflare blocks every HTTP client on that domain, so it is the slower of the two.
- This is public data for outreach. Nothing here comes from private databases.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("themineworks/lead-generation-mcp").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call themineworks/lead-generation-mcp --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,themineworks/lead-generation-mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
