Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

PestPin publishes US pest control license records matched to official state sources (35 states, reprocessed on a recurring schedule; publication timing varies by regulator) plus editorial national cost ranges. Use verify_license to check a company by name, verify_phone when the person has a phone number instead of a name, find_licensed_pros for companies in a city, get_pest_cost for planning ranges, and get_intro_request_link when someone wants to be put in touch with a company. Every record comes back with the official source link and the date PestPin last processed that source; quote both. The homeowner never pays PestPin anything. Data is public-record based and honest about its limits; never present a listing as a recommendation.

verify_license — Check a pest control license
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Check whether a US pest control company holds a state license record. Searches PestPin's directory of official state regulator records (35 states, reprocessed from official sources on a recurring schedule; publication timing varies by regulator). Returns matched businesses with license number, state, status at PestPin's last check, the date that check happened, and the official state source link so the answer can be verified at the regulator. Use it when someone names a company and wants to know if it is licensed. A miss is not proof a company is unlicensed: coverage is 35 states, some businesses are excluded as lawn, agricultural or government records, and name spellings vary.

verify_phone — Check a pest control phone number
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Check a pest control company's phone number against official state license records. Give it the number on the van, the flyer, the voicemail or the caller ID and it returns the license records that publish that exact number, each with the business name, license number, issuing state, the official state source link and the date PestPin last processed that source. Use it when someone has a number and wants to see which license records publish it, before they hire or let anyone in. The state lookups PestPin works with are searched by business name or license number, so a number on its own is normally a dead end; this covers 35 states. The match is exact on ten digits and never partial, so a number one digit different is a different company and is never offered. A match means a license record publishes that number: it does not say who answered, whether the caller works for that company, or anything about insurance or work quality. No match is not proof anyone is unlicensed: coverage is 35 states, about half of all listings publish no phone at all, and a licensed company can publish a number PestPin does not hold. Records from states that license the individual operator rather than a firm are never returned here, because a phone number is not a way to look up a private person; they are counted in withheld and the license-number lookup returns them. It looks up a business's published number, never a person's own.

find_licensed_pros — Find licensed pest control companies

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Find licensed pest control companies near a US city. Returns up to 8 businesses that hold a state license record covering that city and pest type, each with its license number, published phone number, the official state source link, and the date PestPin last processed that source. Also returns a link to the full list, where a homeowner can call any company for free or send one request that is offered to a single company at a time and never resold. Listings are matched public records, not recommendations or a ranking, and most businesses have not confirmed services or coverage with PestPin.

get_price_card — Prices a pest control company publishes
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

The prices a licensed US pest control company has published on its own PestPin listing, as ranges per service (for example a one-time general treatment, a quarterly plan, a termite inspection, bed bug treatment per room), with the date the company last changed them and when it can usually start. Entered by the company's verified owner, never by PestPin; companies that have not published prices return no match, and that is not a statement about their prices. Use it to answer 'what does <company> charge' without phoning them. The company confirms the exact price for a job.

get_intro_request_link — Get a free introduction request link
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Get the link that starts a free request for pest control help in a US city. The request goes to one licensed company at a time, never to several at once and never resold, and the homeowner pays nothing at any point. This tool only builds and returns the link plus what happens next; it sends nothing and files nothing. The person has to open the link and agree to be contacted themselves, because US law requires that consent to be their own act and nobody can give it for them.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http pestpin-mcp https://pestpin.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add pestpin-mcp --url https://pestpin.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable pestpin-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pestpin-mcp": {
      "url": "https://pestpin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pestpin-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://pestpin.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start pestpin-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "pestpin-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pestpin.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http pestpin-mcp https://pestpin.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://pestpin.com/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pestpin-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://pestpin.com/mcp"
