We publish independent public evidence on tradespeople in Ireland: reviews, credentials and company records across named sources, cross-checked so you can judge who to trust. It is structured for you to read here, and for the AI assistant you ask. No ads, no paid placement.

How it works: ChatGPT and other assistants with web search read our pages directly. Assistants that support connectors can also use our live connection, built on MCP (Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets an assistant query our evidence as structured data): paste https://mcp.mytrustedtraders.com/mcp as a custom connector. It covers all seven countries we publish: the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. Either way, every figure traces to a named public source with an as-of date.

For developers and agent builders
Everything below is live and real: every tool and endpoint listed actually exists, and every figure it returns traces to a named public source with an as-of date.
The main way AI assistants connect: a live Model Context Protocol server over the whole directory. Connect by pasting https://mcp.mytrustedtraders.com/mcp as a custom connector in any assistant that supports them (Streamable HTTP, public, no key). Search takes a trade and location, a plain job description or a business name; finds accept evidence filters (minimum reviews, minimum rating, review recency, certification held) and urgency-aware ranking; certifications include a licence-number check against held records. Ids returned by search are the profile address (a UK slug, or "country:slug" elsewhere); pass them back unchanged. Covers all seven countries we publish.
A capability map of every available tool, so an agent can discover what we answer without a human in the loop.
The AI-plugin manifest, pointing at the OpenAPI over our public REST endpoints.
An OpenAPI spec for the plain-HTTP JSON endpoints under /api/tools: certifications (with a licence-number check via ?reference=), planning finder, council experience, approval rates and planning odds.
A curated index for AI assistants and agent tooling, leading with the MCP endpoint and the tool surface, then the evidence hubs.
Every page has a Markdown mirror
Append /md to any public profile (/traders/<slug>/md), trade or location hub (/find/<trade>/md) or certification page (/certifications/<scheme>/md) to read it as clean Markdown with the same evidence, structured for an agent.
