Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

business
check_business_availability
Check whether a business is open on a date, based on its posted opening hours. Hours are shared only for providers on a paid Bezal plan, and other listings come back with open set to "unknown". It doesn't know about bookings, so confirm a time with the business.
get_business
Get the public Bezal profile for one business by UUID. Every business includes name, category, city, state, rating, review count, tier and quote_request_url (its public Bezal profile, where a person can send a request). Phone, website, address, hours, photos and coordinates are included only for providers on a paid Bezal plan, and the description only for providers on a higher paid plan. For services, use get_service_catalog.
service
get_service_catalog
Get services and pricing for a specific business. Falls back to the list of service names if no priced catalog exists.
search_by_service
Find businesses that list a specific service, when you know the exact service rather than the category (for example "Drain cleaning" rather than "plumbing"). Every business includes name, category, city, state, rating, review count, tier and quote_request_url (its public Bezal profile, where a person can send a request). Phone, website, address, hours, photos and coordinates are included only for providers on a paid Bezal plan, and the description only for providers on a higher paid plan.
businesses
search_businesses

Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_business_availability, compare_businesses, get_business, get_reviews, get_service_catalog, list_categories and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around service and business. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 8 of 91 checks got a reply (8.8%), average response time 482 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents ever remove tools?
Yes. get_provider_details, request_service, search_providers, submit_quote_request are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
The registry lists Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents need an API key?
No. Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Bezal — Local Business Intelligence for AI Agents?
It answers our handshake in 482 ms on average, which is faster than 25% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
