Local Services MCP Server

LocalPro MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server that provides verified local service provider data to AI agents. Built on Cloudflare Workers + D1.

When someone asks an AI assistant "find me a radon mitigation company near Denver" — LocalPro is the data source that powers the answer.

What it does

LocalPro exposes a curated database of 9,000+ fully profiled local trade and service businesses across 10 live categories. Every provider passes a quality check before it is served, and carries a LocalPro Rating, a business description, and a services list, plus (where available) LocalPro-written business and review summaries. No incomplete profiles.

All data is LocalPro-owned: collected and verified by us, corrected by business owners who claim their listing, and increasingly backed by first-party customer reviews left on the directories themselves.

Quick Start

No API key required. All search and list tools are public. An optional API key unlocks pro fields on get_provider (full pricing array, certifications) — see Access Tiers.

60-second probe

Confirm the server is live without any client setup:

curl -s https://mcp.localpro.dev/.well-known/mcp.json | head -20

This returns the schema-2.0 manifest: tool list, rate limits, and operator info. If you see a "schema_version": "2.0" JSON document, the server is healthy.

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add --transport http localpro https://mcp.localpro.dev/mcp

That's it — list_niches, search_providers, etc. are now available in your Claude Code session.

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localpro": {
      "url": "https://mcp.localpro.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

(Add an "X-API-Key" header inside a "headers" block only if you have a premium key.)

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localpro": {
      "url": "https://mcp.localpro.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Raw HTTP (JSON-RPC)

The MCP protocol is JSON-RPC over HTTP. Because this server runs in stateless mode, you can call any public tool directly:

curl -s -X POST https://mcp.localpro.dev/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_niches","arguments":{}}}'

You'll get back a Server-Sent-Events frame with the 10 niches, their slugs, and current provider counts.

Schema Reference

Response Envelope

Every response is wrapped in a consistent envelope:

{
  meta: {
    schema_version: string                // Currently "3.0"
    total_results: number                 // Count of items in results array
    niche: string | null                  // Niche ID if applicable
    data_freshness: {
      last_verified_at: string | null     // Most recent verification date among the records returned
    }
    data_note: string                     // Context about the data returned
  }
  results: Array<T>                       // Tool-specific result objects
}

Freshness. last_verified_at is the date LocalPro last verified the newest record in the response. Each provider carries its own verification date in credibility.verification_date.

Migrating from 2.x: rating is now an object (the LocalPro Rating) rather than a number; review_count moved inside it and appears only with first-party reviews. summary and review_summary are top-level strings. business_status, map links, opening hours and geo coordinates are no longer returned. data_freshness is a single last_verified_at date.

Error Response

Errors use the same envelope with an error object:

{
  meta: { schema_version: string }
  error: {
    code: string     // "NOT_FOUND" | "INTERNAL_ERROR" | "UNAUTHORIZED" | "FORBIDDEN"
    message: string  // Human-readable error description
  }
}

Provider Fields

get_provider adds:

rating object (LocalPro Rating):

Results are ranked by listing tier, then by LocalPro Rating.

Nullable Fields

Fields marked nullable return null when data is unavailable — they are never omitted from the response. Arrays return [] when empty, never null.

Access Tiers

Public (no authentication)

All search and list tools work without an API key:

• list_niches, list_cities, list_service_types, search_providers
• get_provider returns basic data (name, description, LocalPro Rating, services, pricing summary, listing URL)
• Rate limited to 30 requests/minute per IP

Premium (API key)

Include an X-API-Key header to unlock additional data on get_provider:

• Full pricing array (vs. summary string)
• Certifications and credentials
• Rate limited to 30 requests/minute per key

X-API-Key: your-api-key

Request an API key at localpro.dev or email will@localpro.dev.

Discovery

AI agents can self-discover this server via standard well-known endpoints:

• GET /.well-known/llms.txt — Plain text description of the server and its tools
• GET /.well-known/mcp.json — Structured JSON with tool list, auth info, and operator details

Data Policy

• What's returned: Business name, city, state, LocalPro Rating, services, certifications, pricing ranges, coverage area, LocalPro-written business and review summaries, and a link to the full listing page.
• What's withheld: Phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and websites are available only on the listing page (via listing_url). This protects provider data while driving traffic to the directory.
• Provenance: Listings are built from public business information and, where we can confirm it belongs to the business, the company's own website. Every listing passes a quality check before it is served. Owners can claim and correct their listing; customers can leave first-party reviews on the directory. Permanently closed businesses are filtered automatically.
• Freshness: Each response states when its records were last verified (last_verified_at). Listings are re-verified as needed, not on a fixed cycle.

Rate Limits

Higher limits available for partners — contact will@localpro.dev.

Data Quality

Every provider returned by the API has been verified and meets a minimum completeness threshold:

• LocalPro Rating — present on 100% of results
• Business description — present on 100% of results
• Services list — present on 100% of results
• Name, city, state — present on 100% of results

Per-category provider and state counts are in Live Now, generated from the live database.

Additional fields (pricing, certifications, coverage area, years in business, business and review summaries) are available on most providers but not guaranteed. Fields without data return explicit null — never omitted, never empty strings.

Two additional categories are being prepared for launch.
