The plan · 3 steps
What you get: How to connect Vibe Prospecting to Claude in one click, find the exact decision-maker at any company, build whole targeted contact lists (not just one name), use buying signals to reach out at the right moment, write outreach that actually lands, and remove your own info from these databases.
What This Is (And What It's For)
Vibe Prospecting is a business-data connector for Claude. Once it's connected, Claude can look up companies and the professionals who work at them, and pull verified work contact details. It's the same kind of tool sales teams, recruiters, and founders pay big money for, now driven by plain conversation inside Claude.
This is a B2B outreach tool. It's for finding the right person to email about a real business reason: a sales pitch, a partnership, a recruiting message, a genuine introduction. Used that way it's a superpower. Used to spam or bother people, it just burns your reputation. This guide is about the first one.
How cost works
Vibe Prospecting gives you a free account with starter credits, enough to try it and run real lookups. Pulling contacts and building lists uses credits, and bigger jobs use more. If you scale up outreach, you move to a paid plan. So it's free to start, credits-based after.
Connect Vibe Prospecting
One-time setup, about a minute.
Step 1: Open your connectors. In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors. Click Browse connectors.
Step 2: Find and add Vibe Prospecting. Search for Vibe Prospecting (it's listed under Anthropic & Partners). Click it, then Add / Install.
Step 3: Sign in and grant access. Follow the sign-in prompt to create your free Vibe Prospecting account and approve access. Once it's connected, Claude can query the database whenever you ask. You only do this once.
If it won't connect
Tip: Name the connector in your prompt ("using Vibe Prospecting") so Claude reaches for it instead of guessing from the open web. That's what pulls the verified data.
Find A Contact
The core move. Tell Claude the role and the company, and it returns the person, their title, and their verified work email.
Build A Whole List
One contact is handy. The real power is building a targeted list of everyone worth reaching, filtered exactly how you want.
Time it with buying signals
Draft the outreach
Use It The Right Way
This is powerful data, so use it like a pro, not a spammer. A few rules keep your outreach effective and keep you out of trouble.
Have a real reason. Only reach out when you genuinely have something relevant for that person or their company. "I found your email" is not a reason. A real offer, question, or introduction is.
Follow the rules for cold outreach. Business email outreach is legal, but there are rules. In the US, CAN-SPAM requires accurate sender info and an easy way to opt out. For contacts in the EU or UK, GDPR expects a lawful basis and an easy unsubscribe. Keep it honest, and always give people a way to say "stop."
Honor every opt-out, instantly. If someone asks to be removed or says not interested, you're done, remove them and don't contact them again. It's the law in most places and it's just decency.
Heads up: Never use this to find someone's personal home address, personal phone, or to contact anyone for harassment, or anything that isn't legitimate professional business. That's not what this is for, and it's the fast track to legal trouble and a wrecked reputation.
Bonus: Get Yourself Out Of The Databases
If Claude can find other people, it can find you. Here's how to see where you're listed and get removed, worth doing whether or not you use the tool yourself.
Claude will point you to the data provider's opt-out process. Most business-data companies are legally required to honor removal requests, especially under GDPR and CCPA, so it usually just takes a form.
If you also want your personal info (home address, phone) off the people-search sites, that's a separate, bigger cleanup, ask Claude to "build me a full personal privacy removal plan" and it'll walk you through the data brokers and Google's removal tools too.

The rules that keep it working
Say "using Vibe Prospecting" so Claude pulls verified data. Be specific about the role you need. Only reach out with a real reason. Follow CAN-SPAM and GDPR, and honor every opt-out instantly. Personalize, don't blast, that's what actually gets replies.

The right person is one prompt away. Reach out like you mean it.
