It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 27 days ago.

Zebu Data plugins and MCP servers
These plugins let Claude collect structured web data. They work through scrapers ("Actors") that Zebu Data publishes on the Apify platform.
| Plugin | What it does |
|---|---|
Local Business Leads (zebu-local-leads) | Finds local businesses in any city on Google Maps, Yellow Pages and Yelp, removes duplicates, and adds emails, phone numbers and social links from each business's website. |
Install in Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add zebudata/claude-plugins/plugin install zebu-local-leads@zebu-data
The first time a tool runs, Claude asks you to sign in to Apify. Usage is billed to your own Apify account, and a free account is enough to get started. Each plugin's README explains what it runs, what it costs and where data goes.
MCP servers for any AI client
The same scrapers are also available as ready-made MCP server bundles. They are listed in the official MCP Registry under io.github.zebudata.
Add a bundle URL to any MCP client that supports remote (streamable HTTP) servers, such as Claude, Cursor or VS Code. The first time a tool runs, you sign in to Apify. Usage is billed to your own Apify account.
