What MCP gives you
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets an AI assistant use tools. Prospect Cheap's MCP server gives Claude tools to:
- search Google Maps, Yelp, Trustpilot, YouTube, FB Ads, Product Hunt, TrustMRR and Skool
- check a search's status and read the leads
- list your recent searches and check your credits
Connect it
Claude (web or desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://prospectcheap.com/api/mcp. A Prospect Cheap sign-in page opens; approve, and you're connected.
Claude Code: run in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http prospect-cheap https://prospectcheap.com/api/mcp
Then type /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate. Step-by-step instructions for each app are in Connections → MCP.
Ask for leads
- "Find 30 plumbers in Austin on Yelp and show the ones with an owner email."
- "Search Trustpilot for solar companies in the UK with a TrustScore of 4 or more."
- "Get me the newest Product Hunt launches in CRM and list the founders."
Claude starts the search, waits for it to finish and summarises the results. Ask follow-ups — "Write a first line for each" — and it works from the real data.
Costs and safety
Searches use your credits (one per lead). The connection can search and read your lists; it can't change your plan or billing. Disconnect any time in Connections → API keys.
