Contact Finder: Claude Skill to Find Contacts by Role

Q: What if nobody matches?

The free count_leads step returns 0 and the skill stops. It spends no records. It suggests widening the level or dropping the title.

Contact Finder is a Claude skill that finds the right people at one company and returns their work emails. You give it a domain and a role. It returns a short table, best match first.

What it does

You tell Claude something like "find the head of sales at acme.com". The skill sizes the match first, which is free. Then it lists up to 5 people, ranks them by level and title fit, and reveals work emails for the top three.

Each row carries the title, job level, LinkedIn URL, work email and email status. Read the status before you send: verified is safest.

It runs on the LeadOcean MCP server, so there is no API key to paste. You sign in once with OAuth.

How it works

The skill is a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude which tools to call and in what order.

count_leads sizes the match for the domain and role. Free.
search_leads lists up to 5 people with limit: 5. 1 record per person returned.
Claude ranks them by level (C-Team, VP, Director, Manager), then by title fit. No tool call.
get_lead with reveal_email: true returns the work email and its status for the top three. 1 record each.
find_phone runs only if you ask for a number. 1 record per person.

If Claude passes a filter value LeadOcean rejects, it calls list_enum_values (free) to find the exact string.

Sample output

The free sizing step works on any domain. On 1 October 2026 we ran count_leads on stripe.com for sales leaders, with facets off.

Filter	Value
domain	stripe.com
jobFunction	Sales & Business Development
jobLevel	C-Team, VP, Director
Mailable people (verified, catch_all_valid, catch_all)	50
Records spent	0
Date	1 October 2026

The count covers mailable people only. That is the default for count_leads.

Output format (placeholder values). A full run spends records, so no real contact table is pasted here. This is the shape of the reply.

FAQ

Do I need to know the person's name?

No. You give a domain and a role: a title, a job function or a level. The skill finds the people. If you already have a name, Find Phone Number and Enrich Person start from a name or a LinkedIn URL.

What if nobody matches?

The free count_leads step returns 0 and the skill stops. It spends no records. It suggests widening the level or dropping the title.

Can it run on a list of companies?

Run it once per domain. Each run costs 10 records at most, so ten companies cost 100 at most. For a bulk pull, use the Exports page in the app at app.leadocean.io.
