https://rube.app/mcp
- The agent will prompt you with an authentication link if no active connection exists
- Once connected, all
PHANTOMBUSTER_* tools become available for execution
Core Workflows
1. List All Agents
Fetch every agent associated with your account or organization to inventory automation workflows.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_AGENTS_FETCH_ALL

Authenticate your API key first.
Use agent IDs from this response when fetching containers or monitoring specific automations.
2. List All Scripts
Retrieve all scripts available under your account (without code bodies) for script management.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_SCRIPTS_FETCH_ALL
No parameters required -- returns script metadata without source code.
3. Monitor Organization Resources & Quotas
Check your organization's current resource usage and quota limits to plan automation capacity.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_ORGS_FETCH_RESOURCES
No parameters required -- returns resource allocation and current usage metrics.
4. Retrieve Agent Containers
Fetch all execution containers for a specific agent to monitor run history and status.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_CONTAINERS_FETCH_ALL
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
agentId | string | Yes | Agent ID from PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_AGENTS_FETCH_ALL |
5. Export Agent Usage Report
Download a CSV report of all agents' run statistics for your organization.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_ORGS_EXPORT_AGENT_USAGE
Returns a downloadable CSV with comprehensive agent execution statistics.
6. Solve hCaptcha Challenges
Obtain a valid hCaptcha token for automated form submissions or scraping flows that require captcha solving.
Tool: PHANTOMBUSTER_POST_HCAPTCHA
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|
siteKey | string | Yes | Public site key of the hCaptcha widget |

Known Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Details |
|---|
| Agent ID required for containers | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_CONTAINERS_FETCH_ALL requires a valid agentId -- always resolve it first via PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_AGENTS_FETCH_ALL |
| API key authentication | All PhantomBuster tools require a valid API key connection -- verify authentication before calling any tools |
| Script bodies not included | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_SCRIPTS_FETCH_ALL returns metadata only, not source code |
| Organization scope | Resource and usage tools operate at the organization level tied to your API key -- ensure the correct org is targeted |
| Branch operations | PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_BRANCHES_FETCH_ALL and PHANTOMBUSTER_GET_BRANCHES_DIFF are for advanced script versioning -- use them to assess staging vs. release changes before deployment |
