## MCP tools (10)

### `search_businesses` (~529 tokens)

Search businesses

Search the public Ready4Bots index. Free text matches name, industry, tags, product keywords, category, description, and domain, including synonyms such as shoes/sneakers, coffee/espresso, and hotel/lodging. Results are ranked by that relevance, then by published R-level. Filter by category (E-commerce, SaaS, or an industry id such as fashion-shoes), country, exact level (R0–R3 from a published test, R4 only for the certified seal), minimum level, action (search, book, or order), audience (customer, seller, or dev), and certified. The response includes indexSize ("more than 30,000") and indexSource. totalIndexed is omitted. total is the number of matches for this request. limit and offset page those matches. Each result includes level, status, certified, industry, channel, actions, audience, sourceUrl, and ready4botsUrl. A level is present only when a test recorded one. Unverified listings are never certified. The tool waits for the live providers table. indexSource is postgres when that read finishes, including when it returns no public row. indexSource is snapshot, with fallbackReason, only when the database cannot be reached. get_business reads the same catalog.

Input parameters:

- `action` (string): Published action: search (product search with prices), book (reservation), or order (cart and checkout).
- `audience` (string): customer when a customer action is published. seller and dev are not in this index and return no rows.
- `category` (string): Channel or industry id, for example SaaS, E-commerce, or coffee-food-drink.
- `certified` (boolean): true keeps only the Ready4Bots certified seal. false drops sealed listings.
- `country` (string): Country code stored on the listing, for example DE or US.
- `level` (string): Exact published level. R0–R3 are test levels. R4 is the Verified Agent Purchase umbrella. R4-N and R4-W are the two seals. No business has R4 yet.
- `limit` (integer): Page size. Default 20, max 50.
- `min_level` (string): Keep listings whose published level is at least this. Unscored listings are omitted.
- `offset` (integer): Number of matches to skip.
- `query` (string): Free text matched against name, industry, tags, product keywords, category, description, country, id, and domain. shoes matches sneakers, coffee matches espresso, hotel matches lodging.

Output parameters:

- `indexSize` (string): The only public index size. totalIndexed is omitted.
- `indexSource` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)
- `results` (array)
- `total` (integer): Matches for this request. Not a catalog total.

### `get_business` (~119 tokens)

Get business

Fetch one public listing by id, slug, domain, or website URL. The result includes level, status, certified (the seal), actions, audience, sourceUrl, and ready4botsUrl. A seal also includes validUntil and badge.status (valid or expired). An expired seal is not valid. Mystery test data and internal notes are not returned. Unverified levels are not certified.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string): Domain or website URL, if id is omitted.
- `id` (string): Listing id, slug, domain, or website URL.

### `check_website` (~90 tokens)

Check website

Run the free Ready4Bots Bot-Ready check on a public http(s) URL. Scores R0 through R3 with the v0.1 checker. Never awards R4 and never sets certified. A guarantee hint returns status R4 candidate · not verified. The same check the website runs; a saved report gets a public result URL.

Input parameters:

- `url` (string, required): Public website URL to score.

### `can_agent_buy` (~303 tokens)

Can agent buy

Look up one shop by URL or bare domain. www, scheme, port, and path are removed. Returns listed, certified (the R4 seal from a Mystery test or a verified bot report), canBuy, canBuyStatus (yes, limited, or no), canBuyReason, actions (search, book, order), abortReasons (not_listed, not_included, below_r3, no_order), and a short reason, plus level, purchaseReady when that field is already on the listing, the purchase path (protocol, endpoint when known, guestCheckout), known blockers from the Ready4Bots test (step and cause only), lastTestedAt, and botReport success and abort counts. canBuy is true for a listed R3 or R4 shop that is certified or publishes an order action when no known blocker is recorded. A known blocker, or guest checkout that is not confirmed (unknown or no), sets canBuy to false and canBuyStatus to limited. canBuyStatus is yes, limited, or no. Purchase-attempt counts are used when that table exists. Otherwise existing bot-board counts are used. An unknown domain returns found false and says to call check_website. This lookup does not run a check and does not award a level or the seal.

Input parameters:

- `domain` (string): Bare domain, if url is omitted.
- `url` (string): Shop URL. www, scheme, port, and path are removed.

### `list_levels` (~110 tokens)

List levels

List Ready4Bots levels R0 through R4, plus seal variants R4-N and R4-W. R3: purchase-ready – the agent reaches checkout; only the final purchase step is not yet verified. R4: Purchase demonstrably completed – via a test purchase in test mode or an agreed, immediately cancelled order, via a verified bot purchase report, or via shop logs with spot check. We never trigger real orders at third-party shops. The free check awards R0 through R3 only.

### `report_purchase_attempt` (~159 tokens)

Report a purchase attempt

Write a purchase report, problem, or feedback to the Bots Board. A Web Bot Auth signature is required. A new report starts as pending_review and does not change ranking or the seal. Review sets verified or rejected. R4 is possible only after the report is verified. The order number is stored as its last 4 characters only.

Input parameters:

- `note` (string, required): What happened. Emails, phone numbers, and links are removed.

## Common questions

### What is the Ready4Bots MCP server?

Ready4Bots is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as com.ready4bots/ready4bots. Search engine for AI agents: find businesses tested as bot-ready (levels R0–R4) and check websites. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ready4bots.com/mcp).

### Is the Ready4Bots MCP server safe to use?

Ready4Bots scores 25 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Ready4Bots MCP server expose?

Ready4Bots exposes 10 tools: search_businesses, get_business, check_website, can_agent_buy, list_levels, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,806 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Ready4Bots MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares no required credentials for Ready4Bots. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint, and a server can require authorisation without declaring it here.

### Is the Ready4Bots MCP server still maintained?

Ready4Bots is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
