About this template
Monid Apollo Leads (Claude Code)
RIP the ~$4,000/year Apollo subscription.
Your agent can find B2B leads with verified work emails and phones — without renting a multi-seat Apollo plan. Monid makes Apollo agent-native: search is typically free, enrich only the shortlist you will contact, and pay about $0.05 per lead.
Apollo Organization (human seats): often $4,000+/yr floor.
Monid × Apollo (agent calls): from about $0.05 per enriched lead.

What you get
- Upstream Monid skill + local
monidCLI (persist-safe wrapper — no global npm required) - monid-leads playbook: ICP → discover → inspect → free search → enrich shortlist → CSV
- Secret-free Monid MCP wiring (
https://mcp.monid.ai/v1) for OAuth if you prefer tools over CLI - Hard rule: never auto-send. You get a list + openers. You own the sequencer.
Undeniable demo (copy-paste)
After you log into Claude Code and add your Monid API key:
Use Monid Apollo to find 5 US VP Sales at Series B B2B SaaS companies (50–500 employees) with work emails. Draft a first-touch opener for each. Do not send. Report cost vs a $4k Apollo seat.
Expect: outputs/icp.md, outputs/leads-*.csv, outputs/run-notes.md with total cost.
First run (2 minutes)
- Log into Claude Code (your Anthropic account).
- Create a Monid key at app.monid.ai/access/api-keys (new accounts often include free credit).
- Run:
~/.claude/skills/monid/monid.sh keys add -k <paste-key> -l main
~/.claude/skills/monid/monid.sh balance
- Paste the demo prompt. Do not write the API key into any file.
Fit / not fit
Fit: founders and GTM engineers who want fresh Apollo intelligence inside Claude Code, hate seat minimums, and will send themselves.
Not fit: teams that need a full Apollo UI workflow, bulk unlimited exports, or an agent that auto-fires sequences without a human gate.
BYOK
| Need | Where |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Your Anthropic login / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY |
| Monid | API key → monid keys add (runtime only) |
Monid runs burn your prepaid balance. Start at 5–10 enrichments. Search is often $0.
