## MCP tools (4)

### `scrape_google_maps` (~255 tokens)

Scrape Google Maps businesses

Search Google Maps and return business leads: name, address, phone, email, website, rating, reviews count, category, coordinates. Costs 2 credits per call — every call bills again (NOT idempotent, do not retry on your own). Always confirm with the user before spending credits. Multiple related keywords in one call cost the same 2 credits. Blocks until the scrape finishes (typically 30-120s). Be specific with keywords, e.g. "vegan restaurant in Brooklyn NY".

Input parameters:

- `depth` (integer): 1-2, higher returns more results at the same credit cost.
- `email` (boolean): Also crawl business websites to extract contact emails (recommended for lead generation / cold outreach).
- `keywords` (array, required): Search queries including a location, e.g. ["dentist in Chicago IL"]. Multiple related keywords cost the same 2 credits.
- `lang` (string): ISO 639-1 result language, e.g. "en", "es", "de".
- `max_wait_seconds` (integer): How long to wait for the scrape to finish before handing back a job id to poll.
- `radius` (integer): Search radius in meters (default 20000).

### `start_scrape_job` (~208 tokens)

Start a scrape job (async)

Submit a Google Maps scrape job without waiting for it to finish. Costs 2 credits per call — every call bills again (NOT idempotent, do not retry on your own). Always confirm with the user before spending credits. Returns a job id — poll it later with get_scrape_results. Use this instead of scrape_google_maps for large areas or when the user wants to continue working meanwhile.

Input parameters:

- `depth` (integer): 1-2, higher returns more results at the same credit cost.
- `email` (boolean): Also crawl business websites to extract contact emails (recommended for lead generation / cold outreach).
- `keywords` (array, required): Search queries including a location, e.g. ["plumber in Miami FL"]. Multiple related keywords cost the same 2 credits.
- `lang` (string): ISO 639-1 result language, e.g. "en", "es", "de".
- `radius` (integer): Search radius in meters (default 20000).

### `get_scrape_results` (~57 tokens)

Get scrape job results

Check the status of a scrape job and fetch the business records once it is complete. Does not spend credits — safe to call repeatedly.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): Job id returned by start_scrape_job or scrape_google_maps.

### `get_credits` (~37 tokens)

Check credit balance

Get the remaining gmapsscraper.io credit balance for the configured API key. Each scrape costs 2 credits. Free to call.
