Onhand MCP
Onhand MCP allows AI assistants to interact with local business data. It enables booking appointments, asking questions, getting quotes, placing orders, and checking business hours and stock availability. The server connects to systems businesses already use or approved catalog content, handing off transactions directly to the business without taking payment.

discover_local — Discover local offerings and businesses
Free search with no sign-in for items, services and directory businesses by coordinates and optional city. Returns offerings, unconfirmed website_items, directory.businesses, data_coverage and optional wider_search/city status. Offering rows include title, businessId, nullable priceCents/price, price_display, distanceMeters, source_type and data_age_seconds; directory rows include display_name, storefront address, phone, website, matchedOn and `missing`. directory.gaps summarizes omissions. Availability requires connector data within its freshness window, a non-listed plan, BILLING_ENTITLEMENTS_ENABLED=true and STRIPE_MODE=test/live; directory and website matches do not confirm stock or slots. Empty results describe this query only. Preserve source labels, unknown dates, contact/request-area next steps and city warnings. Virtual businesses have no street or directions. Optional research_errand URLs share a two-page limit per answer; use only relevant research_fact_types.

}search_local_offerings — Search local offerings
Free item/service search with no sign-in, by coordinates and optional city. Returns { envelope_version: 1, results, data_coverage, city? } and optional wider_search. Approved rows include id, title, businessId, displayName, listed price fields, distanceMeters, reach, source_type, freshness, data_age_seconds and nullable lastConfirmedAt/availability.

Website-name matches follow approved rows with unconfirmed labels, source URL and last-seen date, without price or availability. Empty results describe this query only. Preserve coverage, city warnings and contact/request-area next steps; virtual distance is null. Use discover_local for directory alternatives.

Read up to 20 upcoming appointment windows for a business, without sign-in. Returns businessId, slots, source_type and data_coverage; each slot has id, offeringId, title, startsAt, endsAt, freshness and data_age_seconds.

An empty list does not mean no availability. This call reserves nothing and takes no payment.

Preserve city warnings, optional wider_search and contact/request-area next steps. Virtual results have null distance and no directions.
