LocalHelpNow MCP

The local pros LocalHelpNow lists for one trade in one town, in the order the directory page shows them (Google rating weighted by review count). Each result has the business name, rating, review count, town and the profile page where the homeowner can call or request a quote. Also returns a link to be matched to one pro instead.

What LocalHelpNow checks before matching a pro (state license, insurance), what it does not do or guarantee, how the directory is ordered, what it costs the homeowner, and what happens if a pro does not work out. Quoted from the site.

What LocalHelpNow does for a homeowner and how the match works, with a link that starts a free match to one pro. Pass trade and area to prefill the request. Does not create a request: the homeowner enters their own details on the page.

  "properties": {
    "area": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Optional town or ZIP, e.g. Mesa, AZ"

    "trade": {
      "type": "string",
