Starter prompt
Goal: Walk into every call knowing the account. Tools involved: Apollo.io, Bright Data. Your part: returns company and contact data; fetches the prospect’s public pages; writes the brief: what they do, recent changes, likely priorities, questions to ask. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

What we checked
Apollo’s MCP server returns company and contact data. Apollo says enrichment actions consume credits based on your plan, and it prohibits AI model training with Apollo MCP integrations, so turn training off in your AI client first. Bright Data’s MCP server has 32 tools, all on by default. They include web search (search_engine, which covers Google, Bing or Yandex) and single-page scraping that returns Markdown (scrape_as_markdown, which uses Bright Data’s unlocker for bot protection and CAPTCHAs). Bright Data offers 5,000 free requests a month for its MCP server. Your AI platform writes the brief, and you correct it before the call.
Set it up
Connect Apollo MCP and Bright Data MCP in your AI client.
Limit Bright Data to the tools you need with the tools parameter in the server URL, so the assistant doesn’t reach for batch or browser tools.
Ask for a one-page brief: what the company does, recent changes on its site, likely priorities and three questions to ask.
Skim and fix anything wrong before the call, and respect each site’s terms.
