Run a free, open-source Google Maps scraper on your own machine and let Claude Code drive it for local lead lists

Google Maps Scraper Kit: Free Local Leads With Claude

By the end of this guide, you'll have the Google Maps Scraper Kit running locally with Docker and a Claude Code skill that turns a request like "find all gyms in Miami with phone numbers" into a clean lead list with name, address, phone, website, rating, and reviews. The kit is an MIT-licensed open-source project by Mahan Jafari (github.com/Mahanaicoach/google-maps-scraper-kit), a thin wrapper around the gosom/google-maps-scraper with a one-command Docker setup, ready-to-run scripts, and a Claude skill.

Who This Is For

• Marketers, agencies, and local-service sellers who need lists of local businesses to contact

• Anyone already using Claude Code who wants lead research handled in plain language

• People who want a free alternative to paid scraping tools, run entirely on their own machine

What You'll Have

• The scraper running locally via docker compose, with a web UI and API at localhost:8080

• Scripts for manual scrapes by city and business type, including batch mode across many queries

• A Claude Code skill and slash commands that fire on natural-language requests like "scrape coffee shops in Austin"

• Clean lead lists: name, address, phone, website, rating, reviews, and optionally social accounts

What You'll Need

• Docker Desktop (required)

• Claude Code (optional but recommended) and git

• A city plus a business type to search for

• Awareness that scraping Maps is against Google's Terms of Service: use it responsibly, one job at a time, and follow GDPR/CCPA/CAN-SPAM for any contact data you store

— Treat results as leads to verify, not a redistributable dataset: do not resell raw Google data
