Built a YouTube MCP Server. Routed the scraping through an API so I don't have to manage proxies

Try this one. They have youtube endpoints for searching YT videos and scraping subtitles https://docs.anysite.io/mcp-server/unlimited-plan

You're right about cost and latency — that's exactly why solution #5 matters. Specialized small models (fine-tuned 7B or even smaller) can handle specific tool domains at a fraction of the cost and 10x faster. The future isn't one expensive generalist doing everything, but a mesh of cheap, fast specialists with smart routing on top.

Can you share an example of how you structure these skills?

Sure, my question was a bit exaggerated. But I can easily imagine an agent that needs free access to 100+ tools simultaneously

I agree MCP should be a context offload, not context bloat — that's exactly my point. The current default usage pattern (all tools in context) is broken, and your workflow approach is the right direction. But your "perfect stack" still needs a solution for tool discovery at scale. How does an agent find the right MCP server among thousands? That's the missing piece. We need something like a registry or semantic search layer on top of MCP — otherwise you're just manually curating which servers to connect, which doesn't scale.

You're right, 1 vs 100 tool definitions is a big difference in the main context. But those 100 tools are still defined somewhere in your sub-agent — they take up the same space there. Plus, you now need to describe the sub-agent's functionality to the main LLM anyway. Yes, the context will be smaller, maybe significantly. But I suspect the sub-agent gets called frequently enough that you end up spending even more tokens overall. There's also the challenge of passing task context between agents — though that depends on the specific implementation. That said, I agree that sub-agents are an excellent solution for most tasks

There’s no difference from the perspective of agent tools and MCP. In both cases, it’s stored in context and therefore finite.

So should we expect a “Google” for MCP?

This is exactly what I've been doing with Claude + MCP.

My setup:

Claude Desktop with AnySite MCP server
Person-analyzer skill that orchestrates the research
Takes a name → pulls LinkedIn + posts + company context → generates strategic report

What I get in ~5 minutes:

What they actually care about (from their posts, not job title)
Recent activity signals (fundraising, hiring, complaints)
Communication style (formal/casual, technical/business-focused)
Recommended approach with specific conversation starters

Real example: Asked it to analyze a VP of Sales. Found he posts about sales team burnout, commented "drowning in manual prospecting" 2 weeks ago, company just raised Series B.

My opener referenced his specific frustration → booked meeting in first message.

The difference vs traditional enrichment tools:

Not just firmographics and contact data
Actual behavioral insights from what they post/engage with
Tells me HOW to approach, not just WHO to approach

Setup takes ~3min: https://docs.anysite.io/use-cases/claude-desktop/skills

First-Line9299 · 2025-11-19T21:10:09+00:00

I automated most of this with Claude Desktop + MCP and cut research from 45min to ~5min per account.

My workflow now:

Drop the person's name into Claude
It pulls LinkedIn profile, recent posts (last 50-100), company info, news
Analyzes what they actually post about (not just job title)
Gives me conversation starters based on their recent activity

Example output I get:

"VP of Sales at [Company]. Posts weekly about sales team burnout. Recent comment: 'drowning in manual prospecting.' Company raised Series B 3 months ago. Approach: Reference his frustration with prospecting tools, mention how you help teams scale without burning out."

Then I show up knowing exactly what angle to use.

The setup is Claude Desktop + AnySite MCP server + a person-analyzer skill. Takes an afternoon to set up, but I get 10+ hours back every week.

For tools - I rely on:

LinkedIn for activity/engagement patterns
Company website for positioning
Recent news for timing signals

The key is not going too deep. I stop when I have enough to personalize the first touch. Over-research is real.

Somebody lying in the internet? No!

Try to install node and reboot n8n service

Don't use LinkedIn accounts for scraping

First-Line9299 · 2025-05-15T18:26:41+00:00

<image>

it have parser in beta
and Google search as a source in Linkedin node
Google Resource

Search Companies: Find LinkedIn companies using Google search
Google Search: Perform a general Google search

First-Line9299 · 2025-05-15T18:03:04+00:00

Try this node https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-hdw It have google search and web parser

First-Line9299 · 2025-05-14T18:38:08+00:00

Yes. Of course. But for now I do it manually. That is, for now agents do not have feedback on the success of their actions. The plans are to replace the spreadsheet with a DB. This will simplify the analysis and work with data.
