Roofer Registry does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 22.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

If a tool disappears, we record the date.
changes
changes_since
License changes (new, lapsed, status change) since a given date, optionally filtered by state and change type. Changes are tracked starting from the first roster refresh after deploy — no backfill is available. Use when monitoring for new licenses, lapses, or status changes.
compare
compare_rules
Compare a specific rule field across 2–10 states. Only states with verified: true carry a rule. Treat null as "not verified", not "no rule". Input formats: states as two-letter codes (FL, GA, TX); field is one of licensing, licenseTypes, deductibleWaiver, depositRule, permit, insurance, unlicensedPenalty, rightToCancel, aob.
enforcement
enforcement_actions
Board discipline and unlicensed-activity citations for a state, license number, name, or county. Merges licensed-activity discipline rows and unlicensed-activity citations, newest first. Republished as filed; a citation is an allegation the board acted on, a Final Order is the board's decision.
license
check_license
Look up one roofing contractor license or registration by state and number. Returns status as published by the state regulator, a machine-readable verdict, licensee name, city, expiration, and provenance (regulator source URL + fetch date). Verdicts: licensed-active | licensed-not-active (trade license states like FL), registered-active | registered-not-active (registration states like NJ/PA — business registration, not a trade license), not-in-roster, not-found. The verdict is derived from the regulator-published status, not a recommendation. Use this when a user asks "is this roofing contractor licensed" or has a license number from a truck, yard sign, ad, or contract.
licensees
search_licensees
Search roofing contractors by name, firm, or partial license number, optionally within a state and city. Returns up to 50 regulator-sourced records with a true total count. Use this when the user has a name but no license number.
request
request_contact
Send a contact request to ONE specific licensee the user has chosen, by license number. This creates the same consent-recorded request a person submits on the profile page; it is not lead routing and we never pick the licensee for the user. Only call after the user has seen the record and explicitly chosen this licensee. Required consent text must be shown to the user verbatim before calling.
state
state_rules
Return what Roofer Registry has verified about a state's rules for roofing contractors: licensing, licenseTypes, deductibleWaiver, depositRule, permit, insurance, unlicensedPenalty, rightToCancel, aob — each { value, quote, citation, url } or null. Plus regulator, lookup URL, active-licensee count. If the state is not yet verified, the response says so — do not state a rule for that state from this source.
unlicensed
unlicensed_activity
List people and companies the state board cited for unlicensed contracting, filtered by county and/or name. Use when the user has a name or company from a truck or flyer but no license number, or asks who was caught working unlicensed after a storm. Republished as filed; a citation is not a judgment. Defaults to roofing-typed citations; set all_trades=true for all construction trades.
verify
verify_live
Fetch the current license status directly from the state regulator (FL only) and compare it with our roster copy. Uses a 24-hour cache; the second call within 24h returns cached: true. Other states return { supported: false, lookupUrl }. Hard cap: 100 live fetches per UTC day.

Roofer Registry — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Roofer Registry do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: changes_since, check_license, compare_rules, enforcement_actions, request_contact, search_licensees 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 →
Is Roofer Registry working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 4 of 91 checks got a reply (4.4%), average response time 296 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Roofer Registry still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
The registry lists Roofer Registry 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 Roofer Registry?
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 Roofer Registry need an API key?
No. Roofer Registry 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 Roofer Registry?
It answers our handshake in 296 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
