Research a target account with Claude Code

In this tutorial you will use the Landbase Claude Code plugin to research a target account in multiple steps — finding the company, finding relevant contacts, enriching them with email and phone data, and saving the results. By the end you will have experienced a full prospecting loop driven by natural language inside your editor. What you will need:
  • landbase-cli installed and authenticated
  • Claude Code installed
  • The Landbase Claude Code plugin set up (run landbase-cli config permissions --yes to configure it)

1. Open Claude Code and run the Landbase setup command

In your terminal, run:
claude
Then inside Claude Code, type:
/landbase-cli:setup
This slash command verifies your landbase-cli installation and authentication, and confirms the plugin is ready. You will see output like:
✓ landbase-cli v0.14.0 found
✓ Authenticated as austin@example.com
✓ Platform mode active

2. Find your target company

Ask Claude:
Find Acme Corp in Landbase and give me a company overview.
Claude will call:
landbase-cli match company --name="Acme Corp"
And return structured data including the company’s website, industry, employee count, and headquarters. Note the company domain from the result — you will use it in the next step.

3. Find decision-makers at that company

Now ask:
Find VP-level and above contacts at acme.com in sales, marketing, or revenue roles.
Claude will run:
landbase-cli "VP or above at acme.com in sales, marketing, or revenue" --session=acme-research --download=acme-contacts.jsonl
Using a named session (acme-research) means all follow-up prompts in this conversation will continue the same research thread.

4. Narrow the list

Ask a follow-up:
Only show the ones based in the US.
Because the session is active, Claude sends:
landbase-cli "only US-based" --session=acme-research --download=acme-contacts-us.jsonl
This continues from the previous results rather than starting over.

5. Enrich with email and phone

Ask:
Enrich these contacts with emails and phone numbers.
Claude will call:
landbase-cli contact-enrich submit ./acme-contacts-us.jsonl --enrich-phone --wait
Results are saved to a new file. This step may take a minute or two for the enrichment batch to complete.

6. Review and export

Ask:
Show me the final enriched list as a CSV.
Claude will publish and download the dataset:
landbase-cli "acme research final results" --session=acme-research --download=acme-final.csv
Open acme-final.csv to see your completed prospect list with names, titles, emails, and phone numbers.

What you learned

  • The /landbase-cli:setup command verifies your environment inside Claude Code
  • Named sessions let you refine searches iteratively without losing context
  • Claude can chain multiple CLI commands naturally in response to plain-English instructions
  • The full prospecting loop (find company → find contacts → narrow → enrich → export) runs entirely from your editor
