# Claude Desktop MCP Tool Examples

> Real-world examples using Anysite MCP in Claude Desktop conversations

## Overview

This guide shows practical examples of using Anysite MCP tools directly in Claude Desktop conversations. These examples demonstrate natural language interactions that leverage the power of MCP tools.

## Permission Modes

Before diving into examples, understand the two permission modes:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Always Ask Permission">
    Claude will request approval before each tool use. You'll see prompts like:

    > "I'd like to use the Get linkedin profile tool to extract information from this profile. May I proceed?"

    **Best for**: Sensitive data, production use, learning how tools work
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Allow Unsupervised">
    Claude can use tools automatically without asking. More fluid conversations.

    **Best for**: Frequent use, trusted tools, development work
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  Start with "Always ask permission" to understand tool behavior, then switch to "Allow unsupervised" for smoother workflows.

## Best Practices for Prompting

### Be Specific

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="❌ Vague" icon="xmark">
    "Tell me about this person"
  </Card>

  <Card title="✅ Specific" icon="check">
    "Extract this person's work experience, education, and top 3 skills from their LinkedIn profile"
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Provide Complete URLs

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="❌ Incomplete" icon="xmark">
    "Check out the microsoft company page"
  </Card>

  <Card title="✅ Complete" icon="check">
    "Analyze [https://linkedin.com/company/microsoft](https://linkedin.com/company/microsoft)"
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Request Structured Output

**Good prompt:**

```
Extract the following from this LinkedIn profile and format as a table:
- Name
- Current role
- Company
- Years of experience
- Top 5 skills
- Education

URL: https://linkedin.com/in/username
```

### Combine Analysis with Data

**Good prompt:**

```
Get information from this LinkedIn profile and then:
1. Summarize their career trajectory
2. Identify their core expertise areas
3. Suggest how they could be valuable to our company
4. Draft an outreach message

URL: https://linkedin.com/in/candidate
```

***

## Advanced Techniques

### Batch Processing

**Your prompt:**

```
I have a list of 20 LinkedIn profiles to analyze.
Here's the first batch of 5:

[URLs]

For each profile, extract: name, title, company, and years of experience.
Present in a table format.
```

### Conditional Logic

**Your prompt:**

```
Check this LinkedIn profile: [URL]

If the person has 10+ years of experience in software engineering,
provide a detailed technical background summary.

If they have less than 10 years, just give me a brief overview.
```

### Data Export Requests

**Your prompt:**

```
Extract data from these 10 LinkedIn profiles and format it as CSV
that I can copy and paste into a spreadsheet:

[URLs]

Columns: Name, Title, Company, Location, Years of Experience, LinkedIn URL
```

## Troubleshooting Common Issues

### Tool Permission Denied

**Issue**: Claude says "I don't have permission to use that tool"

**Solution**:

1. Go to Settings → Connectors
2. Find Anysite MCP connector
3. Enable the specific tool
4. Change permission to "Allow unsupervised" or "Always ask permission"

### Rate Limiting

**Issue**: "Rate limit exceeded" errors

**Solution**:

* Check your Anysite dashboard for API quota
* Space out requests over time
* Consider upgrading your Anysite plan

### Invalid URLs

**Issue**: Tool fails with "Invalid URL" error

**Solution**:

* Ensure URLs are complete (include https\://)
* Verify the URL is accessible and public
* Check for typos in the URL

### Incomplete Data

**Issue**: Some profile fields are missing

**Solution**:

* This is normal - not all profiles have all fields
* Ask Claude to note which fields are available
* Some data may be privacy-protected by the user

***

## Performance Tips

1. **Group Related Requests**: Ask for multiple profiles in one prompt rather than separate conversations

2. **Be Patient**: Some tools may take 5-10 seconds to fetch data

3. **Cache Results**: Once data is extracted, ask follow-up questions in the same conversation

4. **Use Specific Tools**: If you know which tool you need, mention it: "Use the linkedin\_user tool to..."

5. **Save Conversations**: Bookmark or export conversations with valuable research

***

## Integration with Your Workflow

### Research Documentation

After Claude extracts data, you can:

* Copy responses to your notes

- LinkedIn URL:
- Notes: [career highlights]

3. What concerns should we address?
4. What's the likelihood they're open to opportunities?
