What is Mindcase?
Mindcase is a web data platform that turns public pages into clean, structured records through ready-made APIs. It covers sources like LinkedIn, Instagram, X, Reddit, Amazon, and Google Maps, runs everything server-side, and plugs into AI agents over MCP. You pay only for the rows you get back, with no seats.
Top Features:
- Ready-made APIs: about 79 live endpoints return profiles, posts, products, reviews, and places.
- MCP connection: agents in Claude Code can query live web data mid-task.
- Custom sources: the team builds new APIs for sites not yet covered.
Use Cases:
- Lead lists: pull company employees and titles from LinkedIn for sales prospecting.
