the data it needs

lobstr.io's scrapers — Google Maps, LinkedIn, e‑commerce and hundreds more — now plug straight into Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP client. Your agent picks a scraper, runs it, and brings back the rows. You just ask.

The toolbox

Everything your agent can do

Twenty-two tools, grouped by what they touch. Reading is always safe — running a scraper estimates the cost and asks you first, so nothing spends credits by surprise.

Discover scrapers

Read

Search lobstr.io's catalog, read a scraper's inputs, output fields and pricing, and list the ones you've already saved.

search_scrapers get_scraper_details list_my_scrapers get_my_scraper

Track runs

Read

Check the status and progress of any run, wait for one to finish — and list the recent runs for a scraper.

get_run wait_for_run list_runs

Read results

Read

Pull a page of scraped results keeping just the fields you need — or grab a link to the full dataset.

Connected accounts

Free

See the platform accounts (LinkedIn, Facebook, …) your scrapers log in with and their status, and link one to a scraper — metadata only, never credentials.

list_accounts get_account attach_account

Build a run

Free

Create a scraper without running it, add input rows in batches, and see the credit cost and time estimate before anything starts.

create_squid add_tasks estimate_run

Run & manage

Spends credits

Launch a scraper on your behalf — it estimates the cost and waits for your OK first. Change a saved scraper's settings, stop a run, clear its tasks to reuse it, or free its slot (those are free).
