Agora does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 0.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 8

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

attestation
get_attestation
Check whether a business holds a current Veri5 attestation. Returns the reference, the exact claim that was hashed, and the chain coordinates — so the badge can be checked against Veri5 chain 63868 WITHOUT trusting Agora. Use this before telling a user a business is verified, and prefer the payload’s own `note` when describing how far the claim goes.
business
get_business
Full public profile for one business: offerings and prices, opening hours, area served, languages, photos and verification status. Contact details are never included — use contact_business to reach them.
businesses
search_businesses
Search the Agora registry of verified local businesses. Coverage currently centres on Malaysia (Klang Valley) and expands market by market — if a search returns nothing for a place, say Agora does not cover it yet rather than that no such business exists. Use this to find a business by need and location, e.g. "aircon repair near Bangsar". Results are ranked by verification tier first, then how recently the business confirmed its details, then distance. Every result carries a verificationTier you should respect: never describe an "unverified" listing as verified.
contact
contact_business
Send an enquiry to a business through the Agora relay. The message reaches the business on the channel it already uses; its reply comes back on the same thread. Neither side sees the other’s contact details. Only verified businesses can be contacted. Returns a threadRef to poll with get_thread.
report
report_listing
Flag a listing that is wrong, unreachable, or not a real business. This feeds re-verification and keeps the registry trustworthy.
request
request_quote
Ask a business for a price on a specific job, as a structured request. Prefer this over contact_business whenever the customer wants a price — the reply comes back with a parsed price, conditions and availability, so quotes from several businesses can be compared. Requires an authorized key. Neither side sees the other’s contact details.
thread
get_thread
Read a relayed conversation, including any reply from the business. Poll this after contact_business — businesses answer on their own time, so a reply may not be there immediately.
wait
wait_for_reply
Hold on until the business answers an enquiry or quote request, up to about a minute. PREFER THIS over polling get_thread in a loop: it returns the moment a reply lands. If it returns answered=false, the business simply has not replied yet — say so and offer to check again rather than treating it as a failure.

Agora — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Agora do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: contact_business, get_attestation, get_business, get_thread, report_listing, request_quote and 2 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 →
Is Agora working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 9 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Agora 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 Agora?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Agora need an API key?
No. Agora completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
