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.

business
check_business
Checks what an AI agent can do with a business's website: message, book, order, sign up, pay, change or cancel. Waits up to 25 seconds; if the read isn't finished, returns what it found so far, and you call it again for the score. A result read in the last hour is answered as it is; after a business changes its site, set fresh to true to read it again (allowed a few minutes after the last read). Use it when a person asks how agent-ready a business is, or wants to improve their own. To find businesses, use search_businesses instead.
get_business
One business's full listing, by its domain: its address (a town and country for one this network found), the week's opening hours and closures, its doors and what each takes, its services, its standing in words, a member's track record (promises kept, broken and still open, and when, once enough have closed; self_reported when it rests on the business's own word, with no score and no count of customers), and how many of its promises closed with each outcome; for one that is not a member, every fact with its source and date. This server takes no bookings or orders; the listing names the business's own doors. Its agentic score, if checked, is at https://surfingdog.ai/b/<domain>.
update_business
For a business's own AI: correct its listing (set any field register_business takes), add or remove doors, turn the listing off or on, or hide its agentic score result (score_page), with its claim_token or a proof as register_business asks. opt_out stops this network listing the site (list), reading it (crawl), or both (all). With no proof it removes only a listing nobody claimed; a claimed or registered listing is taken out only with its claim_token or a proof as strong as its claim.
attributes
list_attributes
The attributes a search may ask for (delivery, walk_ins, wifi…), each with its labels, and the payments accepts takes. Pass keys as attributes to search_businesses, and payments as accepts.
businesses
search_businesses
Find businesses in the directory by what they do (query, category: a group or a place category), where (near, country), the language they speak, whether they are open now, their attributes (list_attributes), price band, what their doors take and what they accept (accepts), whether a door answers asks or quotes (requestable), the type of door, their readiness level, whether they have an inbox, and whether they are members, registered or found. Results come in the directory's published order, which nobody can pay to change; every filter only leaves businesses out. This server takes no bookings or orders; each result lists the business's own doors. A business this network found on its own website is marked as found, with the date it was checked. Software, API and AI companies (category software-ai) are kept apart: they come only when category names that group or one of its categories, query names their kind, or every word of query is in one's name. Pages of up to 20; pass next_cursor as cursor for more.
categories
list_categories
The categories list: every slug with its English and Portuguese labels and its kind (local_and_retail, or software_and_ai for software, API and AI companies, kept apart). Pass a slug as category to search_businesses.
register
register_business
For a business's own AI: put the business in this directory with its doors (MCP, A2A, OpenAPI, an API, UCP, ACP, a platform's door) and its facts: name, what it is (a category of list_categories or a place category, and one line), where (a storefront, a service area, or online with the countries it ships to), its languages, and agree. One call when its proof is already in place; otherwise the answer gives a challenge to put on its domain (a well-known file, its inbox manifest, a DNS record), a key's signature, or a code sent to an address at its domain, and the next call proves it. The answer names every part not taken and why, its readiness level, and what the next level takes. Doors count once this network's crawler has checked them; a door on another host counts only when the site leads to it or its own document names the business's domain. Mail, phone, messaging, forms and web pages are never doors. Every kind of business is listed except adult services, gambling, weapons, tobacco, cannabis and vaping, payday loans and bail bonds. agree accepts the listing terms (/bot#terms). Being listed is free, and nothing about the order can be bought.
report
report_door
After you use a business's door (its inbox, MCP, A2A or API), say how it went: it answered (ok), refused (slot_taken, out_of_stock…), the request was your own fault (invalid), it failed (could not connect, a server or tool error), or it needs a person (info). Report every use, done or not, up to 100 at a time. A report is private to the business and may make this network check a door that agents say is down (at most twice a day per door, for the doors it reads itself); it changes nothing public by itself, and carries no person and nothing that was said. Your reports make us re-check doors, so your searches send you to doors that work.

Surfing Dog Search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Surfing Dog Search do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_business, get_business, list_attributes, list_categories, register_business, report_door 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 Surfing Dog Search working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 209 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Surfing Dog Search?
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 Surfing Dog Search need an API key?
No. Surfing Dog Search 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.
How fast is Surfing Dog Search?
It answers our handshake in 209 ms on average, which is faster than 60% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
