# ScraperCity Local Business List

Build a list of local businesses by city and category, kept to the ones with a website and a valid email.

## When to use it

Use when you sell to local businesses and need a clean, contactable list for a specific city and category.

## ScraperCity MCP tools this uses

- `scrape_maps`
- `scrape_yelp`
- `validate_emails`

Set up the server first: see https://scrapercity.com/mcp for the config and https://scrapercity.com/how-to-use for the start, poll, download pattern and error codes.

## Steps

1. Take the category and city from the user, e.g. dentists in Austin.
2. Run scrape_maps and scrape_yelp for that category and city; poll check_run_status, then download_results.
3. Keep the businesses with a website, then validate any emails with validate_emails.
4. Return a CSV with business, phone, website, email, and rating, flagging rows without an email.

## Inputs

A business category and a city.

## Output

A CSV of local businesses with contact details, ready for outreach.

## Cost and tips

Cross-reference Maps and Yelp to catch businesses one source missed. Scrapers pull live data on every run.

Scrapers draw per result from your wallet balance. find_emails and find_mobiles charge only when a result is found. The B2B database is unlimited on the $149/mo plan. Check counts before you export so spend stays predictable.
