PhantomBuster for AI agents

PhantomBuster is a cloud automation platform for extracting web data and automating social media and lead-generation tasks. Growth and sales teams use it to scale manual browser tasks. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in PhantomBuster.

01

Get an agent's output

Pull the results from a completed automation agent, like a scraped lead list.

02

Check organization resource usage

Look up organization resources and running containers read-only before launching more agents.

03

Delete a lead list with approval

Remove a stored lead list only after confirming it has been exported or is no longer needed.

02 · ACTIONS

53 PhantomBuster actions, graded by risk.

Every PhantomBuster action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

03 · HOW IT WORKS

PhantomBuster in three steps.

  1. 01Your users connect PhantomBusterThey add their PhantomBuster api key on Arc0 Connect, under your brand. It goes straight into the vault.
  2. 02You set the rulesReads run, writes like “update Script (v1 API)” can wait for the user, and “delete List” can be denied outright.
  3. 03Any agent can actYour agent calls PhantomBuster through the Arc0 SDK or MCP, and so can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor. Every call lands on the audit log.
POLICY.TS
await arc0.policies.set('phantombuster', {
  read: 'allow',
  write: 'ask',        // update_script
  destructive: 'deny',  // delete_list
})

# Claude Code: the same connection, one URL
$ claude mcp add --transport http arc0 \

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How PhantomBuster connects.

Users add their PhantomBuster api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same PhantomBuster connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

PhantomBuster and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use PhantomBuster with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect PhantomBuster to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the PhantomBuster actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect PhantomBuster?

Users add their PhantomBuster api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which PhantomBuster actions can my agent take?

53 in total: 24 read, 23 write and 6 destructive, such as “update Script (v1 API)”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in PhantomBuster?

Yes. Actions like “delete List” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call PhantomBuster too?

Yes. The same PhantomBuster connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
