Local Business Lead Builder MCP Server
An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Local Business Lead Builder actor on Apify. Give it a business category and a place, or a search such as dentist in Austin, TX. Each run reads the public Google Maps search results and returns one row per business with website, phone, address, rating, and review count.
What's Inside
Related MCP server: Google Local MCP Server
What it does
Give queries (for example plumber in Austin, TX), or categories plus locations to search every pair. You get one row per business: name, Google place ID and Maps link, website and domain, phone in local and international format, full address with city, postal code, state, and country, latitude and longitude, categories, star rating, review count, and weekly hours. Each search ends with one free summary row with its counts. Filters for rating, reviews, website, and phone drop businesses before they are billed, and a business found by two searches is returned once. All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.
Quick start
You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.
Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mamba-local-business-lead-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mambalabsdev/mcp-local-business-lead-builder"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
}
}
}
}Restart the client. The build_local_business_leads tool appears.
Prerequisites
Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as
APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.
Example prompts
"Find 50 roofing contractors in Denver, CO with a website and at least 4 stars."
"List dentists in Manchester, UK with their phone numbers and review counts."
"Build a lead list of HVAC contractors in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, Texas."
Tool
build_local_business_leads. One tool. Example arguments:
{
"categories": ["roofing contractor"],
"locations": ["Denver, CO"],
"max_places_per_query": "50",
"require_website": "true",
"min_rating": "4.0"
}Inputs

Pricing
Pay per event on Apify, billed to your Apify account. Prices in USD.
Event | Free plan | Bronze | Silver | Gold |
| $0.003 | $0.00285 | $0.0027 | $0.00255 |
| $0.0005 | $0.0005 | $0.0005 | $0.0005 |

Your keys
The actor needs no key. It reads the public Google Maps search results and holds no Google key or any other key. Proxy traffic adds nothing to your price: Mamba Labs pays the platform costs of the run. proxy_mode is a reliability setting.

Scored across 1 tool
There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of misselection between competing tools. Its purpose (building a local business lead list from Google Maps queries) is unmistakable from the name and description.
A single snake_case verb_noun-style name (build_local_business_leads) that clearly states the action and the resource. With one tool there is no convention mixing, and the name is descriptive rather than vague.
One tool is defensible because it wraps a single batch workflow (search, filter, and bill in one call), but it is still thin for the domain. There is no separation between starting a run, checking run status, and retrieving results, which forces everything through one opaque operation.
The core operation is richly specified, covering queries, filters, deduplication, output fields, and pricing. However, the description mentions failed runs returned with a run ID yet provides no tool to fetch or retry that run, and there is no way to list prior results or datasets, leaving dead ends.
