Summary
Connects Claude to Google Maps data through three focused tools: local business search, lead generation, and email validation. Built on top of nexgendata's Apify actors, so you're querying their scraped business intelligence rather than hitting Google's official APIs directly. Reach for this when you need to pull business contact info at scale, build prospect lists by location and industry, or verify email addresses tied to physical establishments. Part of a larger suite that includes legal research and HR compensation servers from the same publisher, all following the same pattern of wrapping Apify data sources into MCP tools.
