LeadAce

Listed on mcpservers.org

Autonomous lead generation plugin for Claude Cowork and Claude Code. Builds prospect lists, runs outbound outreach, and iterates on strategy — all hands-free.

Website: https://leadace.ai

Two ways to run it. Use the hosted service at app.leadace.ai (Free tier — 5 outreach/day, paid plans from $29/mo), or self-host the backend on your own Cloudflare + Supabase. The plugin is the same in either case — point it at the hosted MCP or your own.

For Users

Prerequisites

• Claude Cowork (in the Claude Desktop app) or Claude Code, on an Anthropic Pro or Max plan — verified on macOS; by default /setup-cron runs the daily cycle as a Cowork scheduled task in Anthropic's cloud
• A LeadAce account at https://app.leadace.ai (Free tier — no card)
• A connected Gmail account — for sending email (granted when you sign in with Google, or via the "Connect Gmail" banner in the web app)
• Gmail MCP (claude.ai built-in) — for checking email replies
• A browser, only for browser channels — contact forms run on Cowork's built-in browser or any browser-automation MCP you configure (e.g. Playwright); SNS DMs and SNS reply checking require Claude in Chrome. A scheduled run reaches the browser only while Claude Desktop is open, with its default browser chosen beforehand

Installation

In Claude Desktop: Customize → Plugins → Add from a repository → aitit-inc/leadace → Install → Connectors → Connect, then Customize → Connectors → LeadAce → Connect and sign in with Google.

Or one line in your terminal (Claude Code):

claude plugin marketplace add aitit-inc/leadace && claude plugin install leadace@leadace

Or, from inside a running Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add aitit-inc/leadace
/plugin install leadace@leadace

To update later:

/plugin marketplace update
/plugin update leadace@leadace

Sign in to LeadAce

The first time the plugin calls a LeadAce tool, your browser opens for Google sign-in (the same Google account as the web app). The token is cached locally for subsequent runs. See plugin/README.md for details and troubleshooting.

Usage

Most commands take your project name as the first argument (chosen during /leadace onboarding); /leadace itself takes a free-form question or homepage URL. Run them in a Cowork session (the Cowork tab, not Chat — /daily-cycle runs sub-agents, which Chat can't start) or in Claude Code.

Projects, prospects, outreach logs, and strategy documents live in the cloud — there are no local files to manage. Review everything in the web app at https://app.leadace.ai.

Flow

  P -- web search --> BL["/build-list"]
  P -- CSV / Excel --> IP["/import-prospects"]

  DEL["/delete-project"]

Solid arrows = the main loop. Dashed = optional / occasional / wrapper. /evaluate also consumes the tactical slice of rejection feedback (recontact requests, decision-maker referrals, not_relevant industry clusters) recorded by /check-responses — no separate user step.

License

LeadAce is released under the LeadAce Open Source License — a modified Apache 2.0 with two additional conditions:

• No multi-tenant SaaS for third parties without a commercial license from SurpassOne Inc. Self-hosting for your own organization is fine.
• Frontend logo and copyright must be preserved in any deployment exposing the LeadAce console.

Hosted service (cloud)

• Free tier: 1 project, 500 prospects, 5 outreach actions per day (100 lifetime cap)
• Paid plans start at $29/month. Manage your subscription from the web app.

Self-host

See docs/self-host.md. The self-hosted edition runs on the unlimited tier — no Stripe, no caps. For commercial-license inquiries, contact [email protected].

Quick start (local dev)

One-time setup — copy the env templates:

cp backend/.dev.vars.example backend/.dev.vars
cp frontend/.env.example frontend/.env

Fill in the Supabase keys from supabase status — it prints them once the local stack is running, so run make dev once first (it starts Supabase), then paste the keys in.

For Google sign-in to your local stack, also create a Google OAuth client and export SUPABASE_AUTH_EXTERNAL_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / _SECRET in your shell (via .envrc) before the first make dev — it boots Supabase, which reads them from the shell at start time. See docs/self-host.md → Local development. (These shell vars gate sign-in; the GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / _SECRET in backend/.dev.vars are separate — they power Gmail send.)

Then start the whole stack with one command — Supabase, migrations, the master seed, the API/MCP Workers, and the frontend, all together. Ctrl-C tears the dev servers down (Supabase stays up for a fast restart; make stop halts it):

make dev          # or: ./scripts/dev.sh

To run on different ports (e.g. one is taken by another dev server), copy dev.ports.env.example to dev.ports.env and set the ports there — dev.sh rewires every dependent URL (and Google sign-in keeps working). Defaults are unchanged when the file is absent.

npx supabase start                      # Auth + Postgres on ports 54321/54322
cd backend
npm install
npm run db:migrate
npx tsx scripts/seed-master-documents.ts

npm run dev:api                         # API → http://localhost:8787
npm run dev:mcp                         # MCP → http://localhost:8788  (separate terminal)

cd ../frontend
npm install
npm run dev                             # → http://localhost:5273

Pre-release checks:

cd backend && npm run typecheck
cd frontend && npm run check

Updating dependencies (lockfile gotcha)

npm install with node_modules already present can prune other-platform optional deps (@emnapi/*, @img/sharp-*, esbuild binaries) from package-lock.json (npm/cli#7961, npm 10.3+–11.x). CI then runs npm ci against that pruned lockfile and fails with Missing: … from lock file. This bites both backend/ and frontend/, and is what makes Dependabot's npm PRs go red.

When you change a package.json / package-lock.json (or repair a Dependabot PR), regenerate the lockfile under the repo's pinned toolchain — not in Docker:

nvm use                 # node 22 (repo .nvmrc) — matches CI
cd backend              # or cd frontend
rm -rf node_modules     # removing this first is what avoids the prune
npm install --no-audit --no-fund

Then commit the regenerated package-lock.json. Code-only changes don't need this — CI consumes the committed lockfile as-is.
