Pick an Agency — MCP Server

Pick an Agency is a free directory of 47,000+ marketing agencies with real client reviews and a free AI matching tool. This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gumloop, and more — search the directory and get matched with fitted agencies, directly in conversation.

Find the right marketing agency, backed by real reviews → pickanagency.com

Endpoint

Hosted, public, read-only. No API key required. Streamable HTTP:

https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp

Tools

Every result links back to the agency's profile on pickanagency.com.

Connect it

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http pick-an-agency https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp

Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pick-an-agency": {
      "url": "https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the endpoint URL above.

Run locally (stdio)

Prefer a local server? This package is a thin stdio proxy to the hosted endpoint:

npx -y github:Natden444/pickanagency-mcp

Or in any MCP client config:

{ "mcpServers": { "pick-an-agency": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:Natden444/pickanagency-mcp"] } } }

Example prompts

• "Find the top SEO agencies in the US."
• "Match me with a social media marketing agency in Paris, budget around $5k/month."
• "Tell me about the agency at slug agence-pickers-paris-paris."

The agent calls the tools and answers with real agencies and their pickanagency.com profile links.

Troubleshooting

Tools don't appear after adding the connector — MCP servers connect at session start: open a new conversation (Claude.ai) or restart the session (claude again in Claude Code), then check the connectors/tools menu. In Claude Code, /mcp lists connected servers and their status.

"Connection failed" or timeouts — verify the endpoint URL is exactly https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp (the /mcp suffix matters). The server is public; no API key, OAuth, or headers are needed. Check status by visiting pickanagency.com — if the site is up, the MCP endpoint is up.

Empty results — broaden the filters: try a country instead of a small city, or drop min_rating. match_agencies requires at least one service in services.

get_agency says "no agency found" — slugs must be exact. Find the right slug with search_agencies first (it's the last path segment of the profile URL).
