Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine lead source (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema via mcpc
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the lead finder script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize results

Step 1: Determine Lead Source

Select the appropriate Actor based on user needs:

User Need	Actor ID	Best For
Local businesses	`compass/crawler-google-places`	Restaurants, gyms, shops
Contact enrichment	`vdrmota/contact-info-scraper`	Emails, phones from URLs
Instagram profiles	`apify/instagram-profile-scraper`	Influencer discovery
Instagram posts/comments	`apify/instagram-scraper`	Posts, comments, hashtags, places
Instagram search	`apify/instagram-search-scraper`	Places, users, hashtags discovery
TikTok videos/hashtags	`clockworks/tiktok-scraper`	Comprehensive TikTok data extraction
TikTok hashtags/profiles	`clockworks/free-tiktok-scraper`	Free TikTok data extractor
TikTok user search	`clockworks/tiktok-user-search-scraper`	Find users by keywords
TikTok profiles	`clockworks/tiktok-profile-scraper`	Creator outreach
TikTok followers/following	`clockworks/tiktok-followers-scraper`	Audience analysis, segmentation
Facebook pages	`apify/facebook-pages-scraper`	Business contacts
Facebook page contacts	`apify/facebook-page-contact-information`	Extract emails, phones, addresses
Facebook groups	`apify/facebook-groups-scraper`	Buying intent signals

Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace

ACTOR_ID

with the selected Actor (e.g.,

compass/crawler-google-places

This returns:

Actor description and README
Required and optional input parameters
Output fields (if available)

Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Before running, ask:

Output format:
- Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
- CSV - Full export with all fields
- JSON - Full export in JSON format
Number of results: Based on character of use case

Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json

Step 5: Summarize Results

After completion, report:

Number of leads found
File location and name
Key fields available
Suggested next steps (filtering, enrichment)
