LeadClaw

Demo MCP server for LeadClaw — a service for booking confirmed sales appointments through Claude. Human freelance SDRs handle the outbound; AI handles matching, quality, billing, and reporting. Customers pay only per BANT-qualified meeting that lands on their calendar.

This server is the showcase implementation used for the demo video and concept pitch. It returns realistic fake data so Claude Desktop calls feel live without any real SDR plumbing behind them yet.

What this demo proves

In Claude Desktop you can say:

Book 3 sales appointments next Tuesday in Dallas with AI startup CEOs. Budget $450.

…and Claude will:

1. Call book_appointments on this server.
2. Get back a request_id and an ETA.
3. Poll check_status (immediately or later) and see appointments populate.
4. Pull full BANT briefings with get_appointment_details.

Nothing real happens on the SDR side — but the customer experience is identical to what the real product will feel like.

Tools exposed

Tool	Purpose
book_appointments	Submit a request for N confirmed appointments. Returns a request_id.
check_status	Poll a request; returns confirmed appointments so far and current phase.
get_appointment_details	Full briefing for one appointment: contact, company, BANT, SDR notes, meeting link.

Status progression (demo simulation)

Status advances based on wall-clock time since the request was created — no background workers needed:

Elapsed	Phase	Confirmed
0–5s	processing	0
5–15s	matching	0
15s	in_progress	1
+30s each	in_progress	+1
All seats filled	completed	N

So a 3-seat request is fully completed ~75 seconds after book_appointments. Tunable in src/tools/status.ts.

Setup

Requirements: Node.js 18+ (this repo was developed against Node 24).

npm install
npm run build

The compiled server entrypoint is dist/index.js. Data persists to data/store.json (auto-created).

Connect to Claude Desktop

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "leadclaw": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["C:\\absolute\\path\\to\\leadclaw-mcp\\dist\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Replace the path with the absolute path to your built dist/index.js. On macOS/Linux use forward slashes.

Restart Claude Desktop. The three LeadClaw tools should appear in the tool list.

Quick smoke test (without Claude Desktop)

node dist/index.js

Then paste the following on stdin (one JSON object per line):

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"smoke","version":"1.0"}}}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}

You should see three tools advertised.

Demo recording flow

1. Restart Claude Desktop with the MCP config in place.
2. In a fresh chat, paste:

   Book 3 sales appointments next Tuesday in Dallas with AI startup CEOs. Budget $450.

3. Claude calls book_appointments → you see the tool call card.
4. Ask: "check status" → Claude calls check_status. First call (within ~15s) shows processing/matching; wait ~75s and call again to see all 3 confirmed.
5. Optional: "give me the full briefing on the first one" → Claude calls get_appointment_details.

For the 30-second video cut, edit out the wait between calls.

What's intentionally not in this build

• Real SDR matching / phone integration
• Stripe / billing
• OAuth (stdio is local-only)
• Web dashboard
• Anthropic Connectors Directory submission

These come after the concept lands.
