From the repository

Connect any MCP‑compatible client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) to the hosted endpoint https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp — no API key required. For local use, run the thin stdio proxy via npx -y github:Natden444/pickanagency-mcp. Then call tools like search_agencies, match_agencies, or get_agency with natural language prompts.

`search_agencies`

Search Pick an Agency's directory of 47,000+ marketing agencies. Filter by free-text query, service (e.g. SEO, paid ads, social media), country, city, industry, and minimum rating. Returns the top matches with location, rating, reviews and profile link. WHEN TO USE: for browsing or filtering ('show me SEO agencies in Berlin', 'agencies named X') when the user wants a LIST to explore. Use match_agencies instead when the user describes their project/brief and wants a RECOMMENDATION; use get_agency for full detail on one specific agency.

`match_agencies`

Pick an Agency's matching engine. Given a buyer brief (services needed, location, budget, industry), returns a short ranked shortlist of agencies that best fit - the same logic behind the free 'Get Matched' tool. WHEN TO USE: when the user describes their needs/project and wants a RECOMMENDATION ('I need a social media agency in Paris, ~$5k/month'). Requires at least one service. Use search_agencies instead for open browsing/filtering without a brief; use get_agency to drill into one result afterwards.

`get_agency`

Fetch a single agency's full profile from Pick an Agency by its slug (the last path segment of its profile URL), including description, location, rating, services, website and a few recent client reviews. WHEN TO USE: after search_agencies or match_agencies returned a result the user wants to know more about, or when the user names a specific agency whose slug you already know. Don't guess slugs - find them via search_agencies first.

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

| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| search_agencies | Search/filter the directory by free-text query, service (SEO, paid ads, social…), country, city, industry, and minimum rating. |
| match_agencies | The "Get Matched" engine: give a brief (services, location, budget, industry) and get a ranked shortlist of fitted agencies. |
| get_agency | A single agency's full profile (description, rating, services, website, recent reviews) by slug. |

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

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).
