Connects Claude directly to Google Local search results through a remote MCP endpoint hosted on Apify. Returns structured business data including names, addresses, phone numbers, hours, ratings, review counts, and categories based on keyword and location queries. Useful when you need to pull local business intelligence for prospecting lists, competitive analysis, or lead generation without manually scraping search results. The server runs remotely so there's no local setup beyond dropping a URL into your MCP config. Built as a streamable HTTP transport, so it works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client that supports remote servers.
