25 new scrapers in one month. No, that's not a typo. 🚀
The store nearly doubled. LinkedIn Search, Zillow, Crunchbase, Similarweb, Facebook Ad Library and 20 more joined in September, and the store now counts 80 scrapers. Most of the new ones need no login and no account to risk.
On the app side, your emails check themselves now. Every scraper that collects emails can verify them automatically, in the same run. And the MCP server went open source, with 22 tools.
Let's get into it. 👇

The MCP server grew up 🤖
22 tools, open source, and your AI can now ask before it spends.

Plug lobstr.io into Claude, Cursor, Grok or Codex and your agent can search the store, configure a squid, launch runs and read results by itself. The server started the month with 7 tools; it ends it with 22, and the code is public on GitHub.

SDK and CLI: one call, rows back 🧑💻
Launch a run and wait for its results in a single call.

What's new:
- Sync runs in the SDK and the CLI
- Attach a synced account to a squid from the CLI and the MCP, for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator scrapers
