LeadOcean + Monday.com: search and enrich from Claude, push to a board

You get a Claude chat that finds prospects by title, country and company size, enriches each with a work email, its status and a phone, and writes them as items on a Monday.com board. LeadOcean does the data. Monday.com's own MCP server does the writing. No middleware and no CSV.

How it works

1. Connect both MCP servers to Claude. Add LeadOcean at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp (OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no key pasted). Add Monday.com's MCP server to Claude Desktop with your Monday API token. It runs locally through npx, per Monday's MCP guide (September 2026).
2. Size the list first. Ask Claude to run leadocean_count_leads with your filters. It is a free call. Fix the filters until the number is one you want to pay for.
3. Search. Claude calls leadocean_search_leads with limit set to your batch size. Each person returned is one record.
4. Enrich. For the people you keep, Claude calls leadocean_get_lead (one record each) to return the email, its email_status and the phone. A person we hold nothing for costs nothing.
5. Push. Claude calls Monday's Create Item tool once per person, with the column values below. The underlying API call is the create_item mutation.

Keep a rule in your prompt: only push rows whose email_status is verified. We do not refund bounces, so read the status before the row lands on a board someone will email from.

Configuration

The MCP route needs no code. If you want the same flow outside Claude, run the two calls yourself. First, enrich one person by person_id from a search:

curl -X POST https://api.leadocean.io/v1/people/enrich \
  -H "x-api-key: $LEADOCEAN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"person_id": "PERSON_ID_FROM_SEARCH", "reveal_email": true}'

Then create the item on Monday.com. The Authorization header carries your Monday API token, and the endpoint is https://api.monday.com/v2 (Monday API basics, September 2026):

curl -X POST https://api.monday.com/v2 \
  -H "Authorization: $MONDAY_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"mutation { create_item(board_id: 1234567890, group_id: \"topics\", item_name: \"Jane Doe\", column_values: \"{\\\"email\\\":{\\\"email\\\":\\\"jane@acme.com\\\",\\\"text\\\":\\\"jane@acme.com\\\"},\\\"phone\\\":{\\\"phone\\\":\\\"+14155550133\\\",\\\"countryShortName\\\":\\\"US\\\"}}\") { id } }"}'

Column ids (email, phone) are your board's own ids. Ask Claude to read the board first with Monday's Get Board Info tool and use the ids it finds.

Field mapping

Cost at 10,000 rows

LeadOcean on the Free plan covers 1,000 records for life, so 10,000 rows needs a paid plan. Solo is $97 a month and Agency is $497 a month (pricing). Paid plans have a fair-use pace, not credits, so there is no per-row bill. Search plus enrich counts as two records per person returned, so 10,000 people is about 20,000 records. Counts and empty enrichments are free.

Monday.com bills per seat, and its pricing page shows seat prices in your local currency. The plan also caps API calls: 1,000 a day on Standard, 10,000 on Pro and 25,000 on Enterprise (Monday pricing, October 2026). So 10,000 create_item calls take one day on Pro or ten on Standard. A single query is capped at 5M complexity points, and per-minute complexity budgets apply (rate limits, September 2026).
