Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check theoPros every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

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

cities

list_cities

Coverage. Without arguments: each covered state with its cities. With state or trade: every city and trade pair, its number of licensed businesses and its directory page url.

pro

get_pro

The full public record of one business by id (from search_pros): every license with class, status, issue and expiry dates and the board lookup link, bond, workers' comp, complaint counts, lead-safe (RRP) certificate and its issuer, Google rating and review count, up to 5 Google reviews with author attribution (credit the author and Google if you quote one), website, services, score breakdown and owner-supplied details if the owner claimed it.

pros

search_pros

Find state-licensed home-trade businesses by trade, city, state, ZIP, license number or free text; filters combine. Every result has an active license on the state board's register (with the date it was checked), plus a score (0-100) and rank within its city from theoPros' published formula. Example: 'a licensed roofer in Miami with no complaints' is city='Miami', trade='roofers', no_complaints=true. Ordered by text relevance when q is set, otherwise by score with unscored listings last. Up to 100 per page; pass next_cursor to get the next page.

verify

verify_licence

Check whether a license number belongs to a business theoPros lists, which means the license was active on the state board's register on the date in 'checked'. listed=false means it is not in theoPros: theoPros covers only active licenses in its trades and cities, so check the state board before calling it inactive.

theoPros — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can theoPros do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_pro, list_cities, search_pros, verify_licence. 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 theoPros working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 50 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect theoPros?

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 theoPros need an API key?

No. theoPros completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is theoPros?

It answers our handshake in 50 ms on average, which is faster than 99% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
