## What it does

lusha connects Claude Code to Lusha through an MCP server and provides six skills. They cover contact enrichment, ICP-based prospecting, buying-signal searches, lookalike discovery, and outreach preparation. Results can include verified email addresses, direct lines, mobile numbers, and company context.

The outreach workflow has two stages. `outreach-research` records your positioning in `lusha-outreach-brief.md`; `outreach-sequence` uses that brief and a contact list to draft emails and LinkedIn messages. The find-and-enrich skills chain Lusha API calls into a single workflow. A Lusha account with API access is required, and the first call opens an OAuth sign-in flow.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**

# Lusha MCP Plugin

Find and enrich B2B contacts and companies with verified emails, direct dials, mobile numbers, and real-time buying signals from Lusha — straight from inside your AI assistant.

Supports **Codex** (plugins), **Claude Code** (Claude Code CLI / Cowork), **Cursor** (plugins), **VS Code Copilot** (GitHub Copilot Chat with MCP), and **Gemini CLI** (extensions).

## Skills

**Find and enrich**

| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `enrich-contact` | Look up any person and get their verified direct and mobile phone numbers, email, and company context |
| `prospect` | Describe your ICP in plain English — get a filtered, enriched lead list with phone numbers revealed |
| `signal-prospect` | Start from a buying signal (funding, hiring surge, job change) and get the right decision makers' phones |
| `lookalike-prospect` | Give Lusha 5+ reference companies or contacts — get a matched list enriched with phone numbers |

**Write outreach** — a two-stage pair, run in order

| Skill | What it does |
|-------|-------------|
| `outreach-research` | Stage 1. Capture what you sell, to whom, with what proof, and how you differentiate as a portable positioning brief (`lusha-outreach-brief.md`). Text only — makes no Lusha API calls |
| `outreach-sequence` | Stage 2. Turn that brief plus a contact list into short, signal-grounded Email 1 (optionally Emails 2–3 and LinkedIn messages), handoff-ready as flat CSV, with each draft's hook and personal-touch source alongside it |

## How it works

The find-and-enrich skills each chain multiple Lusha API calls into a complete workflow, and surface verified phone numbers prominently — direct lines and mobile numbers are first-class outputs, not an afterthought.

The outreach pair sits on top of them. `outreach-research` is pure conversation, producing a brief you save and reuse. `outreach-sequence` consumes that brief and never calls Lusha directly: it delegates signal discovery and harvest to `signal-prospect`, and contact enrichment to `enrich-contact`, so credit handling stays in one place. Every call it triggers is tagged with a `reason_for_invocation` starting `outreach-sequence: `, which is how skill-driven usage is attributed.

All clients load the **same** `skills/*/SKILL.md` files and the **same** Lusha MCP server — only the per-client manifest and store endpoint differ:

| Client | Manifest | MCP endpoint | How to invoke |
|--------|----------|--------------|---------------|
| Codex | `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` + `mcp.json` | `mcp.lusha.com/mcp/codex` | Skills activate from natural language requests |
| Claude Code | `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | `mcp.lusha.com/mcp/claude` | `/enrich-contact`, `/prospect`, etc. |
| Cursor | `.cursor-plugin/plugin.json` | `mcp.lusha.com/mcp/cursor` | Skills activate from natural language requests |
| VS Code Copilot | `.github/plugin/plugin.json` | `mcp.lusha.com/mcp/copilot` | `/enrich-contact`, `/prospect`, etc. |
| Gemini CLI | `gemini-extension.json` | `mcp.lusha.com/mcp/gemini` | Gemini activates the matching skill on demand |

Skills reference Lusha tools by their bare logical name (e.g. `contacts_search`), so a single skill source works identically across all clients. Gemini CLI auto-discovers the bundled `skills/` directory as extension skills.

## Prerequisites

- A Lusha account with API access

## Install

### Codex

The Codex plugin lives at the repo root — `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` (manifest) and `mcp.json` (MCP server), with `skills: "./skills/"` pointing at the shared root `skills/`. Codex discovers it through the repo marketplace catalog at `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json`, which uses a `url` source pinned to a branch/tag. That catalog is read only by Codex/OpenAI tooling — Claude, Copilot, and Gemini keep using their own provider-specific manifests.
