**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:
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.

Example prompts

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.
