MCP server for AgentWeb.live — the agent-native registry. 11M+ businesses across 233 countries, each with a canonical slug URL. Returns markdown prose by default (~60% fewer tokens than JSON, better LLM parsing). Free API key (1,000 reads/day, instant signup, no credit card). Contribution-tier rate limit bonuses (5x/20x/100x).

Package Exports

  • agentweb-mcp
  • agentweb-mcp/dist/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (agentweb-mcp) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

AgentWeb MCP Server

npm version npm downloads License: MIT MCP Compatible Docker Free for AI agents

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AgentWeb.livethe agent-native registry. 11M+ businesses across 233 countries. Free, structured, machine-readable. The substrate of the agent web — a registry where businesses publish themselves directly, with no website required, designed from the ground up to be read by AI agents instead of browsers.

🆕 v1.3.1 — every API call now requires a free API key (1,000 reads/day + 120 req/min burst + unlimited writes, instant signup at https://agentweb.live/#signup). Added agentweb_get_short for 80% token savings via the compact shorthand format (/v1/r/{id}/agent.json) and agentweb_capabilities for tool self-discovery. New --save-key flag lets you persist the key once to `/.agentweb/key` instead of setting the env var every time.

⚡ 60-second Quickstart

# 1. Get a free API key (no credit card)

  }
}
# 3. Restart your client and ask:

What It Does

This MCP server gives any Claude Desktop / Cursor / Continue / LangChain / OpenAI-Agents-SDK / Cline / etc. AI agent eight tools:

Read tools

Tool Purpose
search_businesses Text + geo search across 11M+ records (lat/lng + radius, city, country, category)
get_business Full details for any business by ID. Now uses the canonical /v1/r/{id} substrate endpoint — sub-50ms global.
agentweb_get_short Compact agent-native record (320 bytes). **80% fewer tokens** vs get_business for the same business.
agentweb_health Service status + live counts + community contribution stats
agentweb_leaderboard Top contributing AI agents to the network
agentweb_capabilities 🆕 Self-introspection: list every endpoint, every tool, every data source

Write tools

Tool Purpose
contribute_business Add a new business or enrich an existing one (auto-dedupes by name+location and phone)
report_business Flag a business as closed, wrong info, or spam. 3+ closed reports auto-lower trust. Self-healing data quality loop, powered by agents.

Why use it

  • Free. Instant key, no credit card. 1,000 reads/day + 120 req/min burst. Unlimited writes.
  • Token-efficient. agentweb_get_short returns ~320 bytes per business — sub-50ms global, ~80% fewer tokens for the LLM.
  • Designed for LLMs. Clean JSON, predictable schema, single-letter compact format available. No HTML scraping required.
  • Open data foundation. Built on OpenStreetMap (ODbL) plus direct schema.org JSON-LD scraping of business websites — no Google Places dependency, no legal grey areas.
  • Two-way network. Your agents both read and write back — every contribution improves the directory for every other agent.
  • Owner-claimable. Business owners can claim and edit their listing in 30 seconds with no website required — agents can help the long tail of small businesses get visible.

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentweb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentweb-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTWEB_API_KEY": "aw_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf / Continue / Cline

Same config block — these clients all read the same MCP format:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentweb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentweb-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AGENTWEB_API_KEY": "aw_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available tools

search_businesses

Search across 11M+ businesses by text query, category, city, country, or geographic radius.

Parameters (all optional, but at least one of q, category, city, or lat+lng+radius_km is required):

  • q — text search query
  • category — e.g. "restaurant", "dentist", "hotel"
  • city — city name
  • country — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, e.g. "US", "DE"
  • lat, lng, radius_km — geographic search
  • limit — max results (default 10, max 50)
  • offset — pagination

Try: "Find vegan restaurants near 51.51, -0.13 within 2 km"

get_business

Get full details for a business by its UUID. Uses the canonical /v1/r/{id} endpoint (sub-50ms global) with fallback to the legacy /v1/business/{id}.

Parameters:

  • id — business UUID returned by search_businesses

agentweb_get_short 🆕

Same business as get_business but in the compact shorthand format: 320 bytes instead of 3-5 KB, single-letter keys (n=name, p=phone, e=email, w=website, h=hours, g=[lat,lng], s=social, etc.). **80% fewer tokens** for the LLM. Uses the same free API key as every other call.

Use this whenever you just need contact info. Example: "Find me 10 cafes near Berlin and tell me their phones" — use search_businesses to get the IDs, then agentweb_get_short to fetch each one. The token savings add up fast.

Parameters:

  • id — business UUID

Schema is self-describing: see https://api.agentweb.live/v1/schema/short

agentweb_health

Service health, total business count, country count, and community contribution stats.

agentweb_capabilities 🆕

Returns the machine-readable description of the entire AgentWeb API: every endpoint, every tool, every data source, current live counts. Use this when you need to discover what AgentWeb can do, or when you want to introspect the substrate.

agentweb_leaderboard

Top contributing AI agents to AgentWeb. See which agents are most actively improving the network — proves the network is two-way.

Parameters:

  • limit — number of contributors to return (default 10, max 50)

contribute_business

Submit a new business or enrich an existing one. The directory auto-deduplicates by name+coordinates (within 100m) and by phone number, so your agent doesn't need to check first.

Parameters:

  • name (required) — business name
  • phone, website, email, category, country_code — optional fields
  • lat, lng — coordinates (recommended for accurate dedup)
  • address{street, city, postcode, country, full}
  • hours — opening hours object

Try: "This pizza place I just visited isn't in AgentWeb yet — add it for me"

report_business

Flag a business as closed, having wrong info, or being spam. 3+ "closed" reports automatically lower the trust confidence score.

Parameters:

  • business_id (required) — UUID of the business
  • report_type (required) — one of: closed, wrong_phone, wrong_address, wrong_hours, spam, duplicate, other
  • details — optional free-text explanation

Try: "That dentist closed last year — report it"

Example agent workflows

Personal assistant agent (token-efficient):

"Find me three coffee shops within walking distance of Tivoli that open before 8am." Agent calls search_businesses → gets 3 IDs → calls agentweb_get_short 3× (~320 bytes each) instead of get_business (3-5 KB each). ~80% token savings.

Research agent:

"Search for all dentists in Berlin Mitte, then for each one check the website and report any that 404 as closed."

Local business directory agent:

"I scraped this site listing 200 restaurants in Lisbon. For each one, contribute it to AgentWeb with the phone and hours."

Self-discovery agent:

"What can AgentWeb do?" Agent calls agentweb_capabilities, gets back the full machine-readable API description.

The substrate

AgentWeb is the substrate of the agent web. Read more in the manifesto.

Beyond MCP, every business is also reachable as:

  • Canonical agent.json at https://api.agentweb.live/v1/r/{id}/agent.json — compact shorthand, sub-50ms, ~320 bytes
  • Human profile page at https://agentweb.live/r/{id} — server-rendered HTML with embedded JSON-LD for crawlers
  • Directory browse at https://agentweb.live/directory — by category (15,000+) and country (233)

Owner-claimable: any business owner can claim their listing or add a brand-new one in 30 seconds at https://agentweb.live/claim and https://agentweb.live/claim/new with no website required.
