What it solves

It provides a reliable way to extract structured business data from Google Maps, overcoming the "consent walls" and JavaScript rendering issues that typically prevent standard AI chat tools from scraping the platform directly.

How it works

The kit acts as a wrapper around the google-maps-scraper engine. It uses Docker to run the scraper locally on your machine, exposing an API at localhost:8080. It includes a "Claude skill" (a set of instructions and commands) that allows the Claude AI agent to autonomously manage the scraping process—creating jobs, polling for completion, and cleaning the resulting data—via natural language commands.

Who it’s for

It is designed for users who need to build business lead lists (containing names, phones, emails, and websites) for outreach, and those who want to automate this process using an AI agent like Claude Code.

Highlights

• AI-Driven Automation: Includes a dedicated skill that lets Claude handle the entire scraping workflow on autopilot.
• One-Command Setup: Uses Docker Compose for quick local deployment.
• Lead-Focused Data: Automatically strips noise to provide clean lists of business names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, and ratings.
• Social Media Discovery: Can optionally scan business websites to find linked Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles.
• Standalone Access: Provides Bash and Python scripts for users who prefer not to use an AI agent.
