PublicLeads does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 2.5% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 5

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

details

get_list_details

Details of one list from search_lists: the fields included in the file, the price, the freshness policy, and a masked 5-row sample (business name, city, Google rating; emails and phones are masked). Pass the list value search_lists returned, or the list's publicleads.com URL.

lists

search_lists

Find ready-made business contact lists for sale by industry and location. Returns up to 10 lists, best match first (the exact city, then its state/province, then the country): name, scope, number of businesses, how many have an email, price, and preview and buy links. Location can be a city ("Austin", "Austin, TX"), a state or province ("Ontario"), or a country ("USA", "Canada", "Australia"); spelling is matched loosely. Use when someone needs leads or prospects of a type of local business.

market

get_market_stats

Aggregate statistics for an industry in a place: number of operational businesses, average Google rating, total reviews, and the percentage with an email, with a company-domain email, with a phone, with a website and with a street address. No contact details. Use for market-sizing questions such as "how many plumbers are there in Ohio".

request

request_custom_list

When no ready-made list fits (an unusual industry, a county or a radius, several industries together), return the link to request a custom list and its price. We measure the data and reply with the real count before any payment.

trades

list_trades

List every industry (trade) PublicLeads sells business lists for, with the slug to pass to search_lists, plus the countries covered (US, Canada, Australia). Call this when the user's industry may not match a name directly.

PublicLeads — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PublicLeads do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_list_details, get_market_stats, list_trades, request_custom_list, search_lists. 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 PublicLeads working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 7 of 91 checks got a reply (7.7%), average response time 306 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists PublicLeads 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 PublicLeads?

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 PublicLeads need an API key?

No. PublicLeads completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PublicLeads?

It answers our handshake in 306 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
