Lusha is now available in Claude, giving you access to verified contact and company data directly from your conversations. There are two ways to use Lusha in Claude:
  • Connector - Gives Claude direct access to your Lusha data. You can build your own workflows, prompts, and Projects around that data, making it ideal for teams that want flexibility and customization. For examples and inspiration, visit the Prompt Library.
  • Plugin - Includes the same Lusha data access, but comes with pre-built skills and workflows. Claude automatically selects the right workflow based on your request, so you can get results without creating prompts or setting up Projects.
The Plugin is the fastest way to get started with Lusha in Claude. You can simply describe what you’re looking for and Claude will run the appropriate Lusha skill behind the scenes. If you already use the Connector and have Projects or prompting workflows that work well for your team, there’s no need to change. The Plugin simply provides a more guided experience with Lusha’s most common workflows built in.

​
Before you start, you will need

  • A Lusha account with available credits.
  • The Lusha plugin installed and connected in Claude.
The plugin is available to all Lusha users, on any plan - there’s no Admin or Manager requirement. Connecting uses OAuth, the same as any other MCP client.

​
Set up the Lusha plugin

1

Open the plugin marketplace

Open the plugin marketplace in Claude (Settings → Directory → Plugins).
2

Install the Lusha plugin

Search for Lusha and click Install (or Connect).
3

Sign in and approve permissions

4

Start using the plugin

Start a request in any Claude conversation - the plugin is available automatically once installed. You don’t need to reconnect each session.
You’ll know it worked once Claude responds to a request like “Find the phone number for the CFO of Acme” with contact results instead of a generic answer or a prompt to connect a data source. Claude’s reply will also typically say it’s using Lusha to pull the data.

​
How Claude chooses the right skill

You don’t need to know the names of the four skills below to use the plugin - just describe what you want in your own words, and Claude matches it to the right workflow. Knowing what each skill does helps you phrase requests that get better results faster.

​
Enrich Contact

Look up one specific person you already have in mind and get back a contact card with verified phone numbers, email, and company info. Use it when: you already know exactly who you want to reach.
  • “Look up Jane Doe at Stripe.”
  • “Find the phone number for the CFO of Acme.”
  • “Who is John Smith at Datadog?”

​
Prospect

Describe the kind of people you want to reach - job title, industry, company size, location - and get back a ready-to-call list of leads with verified contact details. Use it when: you’re building a list from scratch.
  • “Find me VPs of Sales at mid-market SaaS companies in the US and show me their contact details.”
  • “Build a list of marketing directors at fintech companies.”

​
Lookalike Prospect

Give Claude a set of companies or people you already like - for example, your best customers - and it finds more that look similar, then pulls their contact details. Use it when: you want to expand from a list you already trust.
  • “Find companies like my best customers.” (then paste your list)
  • “Find more contacts like these.”
This skill needs at least 5 example companies or contacts to find good matches. Fewer than that, and results may be too broad.
Build your ICP in the Lusha ICP hub, then bring that list to Claude to find lookalikes - an easy way to cross over from Lusha to Claude and back.

​
Signal Prospect

Start from something that just happened in the market - a company raising funding, hiring fast, growing headcount, or a person getting promoted or changing jobs - and Claude finds the matching companies or people and pulls contact details for the right decision-makers. Use it when: you want to reach out while the timing is right.
  • “Find companies that just raised funding.”
  • “Show me companies surging in sales hiring.”
  • “Find contacts who just got promoted in fintech.”
