## MCP tools (12)

### `get_pricing_terms` (~65 tokens)

GroundQuote pricing terms

Read this first and relay it to the contractor before creating an account. Returns the plain-language pricing disclosure ($5 browsing lead, $15 high-intent lead, optional $150/month unlimited; nothing charged until the contractor unlocks a lead) and the guarantees. No inputs.

### `get_install_instructions` (~61 tokens)

How to install GroundQuote

Explains the two install paths (iframe embed on an existing site, or a GroundQuote-hosted page for contractors with no site), what works with AI site builders, and how account ownership works. Use before you promise the contractor anything about the install.

### `create_contractor_account` (~247 tokens)

Create a contractor account

Creates a GroundQuote account for a fence contractor and emails the contractor a link to set their own password (the email includes the pricing terms). Nothing is charged; no card is required. Returns org_id, slug, the embed snippet, terms_summary, and a setup_claim you must keep and pass to set_fence_pricing, set_branding, set_hosted_page, get_embed_code, check_account_status and resend_setup_email. Confirm the contractor has heard the pricing terms before calling. Use the contractor's own email as owner_email.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string)
- `company_name` (string, required): The contractor's business name as it should appear to homeowners
- `owner_email` (string, required): The contractor's own email. They receive the set-password link; only they can unlock leads.
- `owner_name` (string, required): The contractor's name
- `phone` (string, required): The contractor's phone number
- `state` (string): Two-letter US state
- `terms_relayed` (boolean, required): Must be true: you have told the contractor the pricing terms from get_pricing_terms
- `website_url` (string): Their website, if they have one

### `set_fence_pricing` (~190 tokens)

Set the contractor's fence pricing

Loads the contractor's price list. Rates are dollars per linear foot by material, then style, then height ("4 ft", "6 ft", "8 ft"). Gates are flat surcharges. Ask the contractor for real numbers; never invent them. Replaces the whole fence catalog each call. Requires org_id and setup_claim from create_contractor_account.

Input parameters:

- `fences` (object, required): material -> style -> height ("6 ft") -> dollars per linear foot
- `gate_double_usd` (number): Flat surcharge per double gate
- `gate_single_usd` (number): Flat surcharge per single gate
- `org_id` (string, required)
- `removal_per_ft_usd` (number): Old-fence removal, per linear foot; omit to leave unchanged
- `require_phone` (boolean): Require the homeowner's phone number; default true
- `setup_claim` (string, required)

### `set_rental_pricing` (~367 tokens)

Set temporary fence RENTAL pricing

For fence RENTAL companies (construction sites, events, security) rather than installers. Loads rental products priced in dollars per linear foot per period (day / week / month), the minimum term, per-rental gate charges, delivery and setup fees and optional add-ons (privacy screen, sandbag bases). Enables the rental option on the widget; leaves any installed-fence catalog untouched. Ask the company for real numbers; never invent them. Requires org_id and setup_claim from create_contractor_account.

Input parameters:

- `addons` (object): optional extras the customer can tick, e.g. "Privacy Screen" -> { price: 1.25, unit: "ft" }
- `delivery_fee_usd` (number): Flat delivery + pickup fee added to every quote; omit for none
- `drive_gate_usd` (number): Flat charge per vehicle gate, per rental
- `min_term_days` (integer): Shortest rental accepted, in days (28 = one month)
- `org_id` (string, required)
- `panel_length_ft` (number): Panel length used for per-panel add-ons
- `products` (object, required): product name -> { description?, rates: { day?, week?, month? } }, e.g. "Panel Fence (Freestanding)" -> { rates: { week: 1.75, month: 2.5 } }
- `rental_only` (boolean): true if the company does NOT install fence: turns the fence module off so the widget shows rental only
- `setup_claim` (string, required)
- `setup_fee_unit` (string)
- `setup_fee_usd` (number): Setup + removal fee; omit for none
- `walk_gate_usd` (number): Flat charge per pedestrian gate, per rental

## Common questions

### What is the GroundQuote MCP server?

GroundQuote is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.KilvingtonDigital/groundquote. Instant fence quotes for contractor websites: create the account, set pricing, get the embed. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.groundquote.com/mcp).

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

GroundQuote scores 73 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 GroundQuote MCP server expose?

GroundQuote exposes 12 tools: get_pricing_terms, get_install_instructions, create_contractor_account, set_fence_pricing, set_rental_pricing, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,406 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the GroundQuote MCP server require authentication?

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

### Is the GroundQuote MCP server still maintained?

GroundQuote is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
