An AI assistant that gets your boat fixed

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to the Search MCP. Your agent finds vetted marine pros, starts owner-verified service requests, compares the responses, and moves the work forward — from one public endpoint, no API key.

One endpoint. Every client.

MCP clients discover the Search MCP tools straight from the server. Add the endpoint once, then just ask your agent to find marine pros or compare public profiles — it picks the right tool on its own.

The workflow

Everything your agent can do for a boat owner

Discovery stays public and read-only. The moment work becomes real, the owner verifies by email — so an agent can explore freely without ever surprising a customer.

Discover

Read-only · anonymous
  • Search marine service pros
    By service, keyword, location, or radius — the way an owner would actually ask.
  • Understand services & specialties
    List every marine specialty and slug for clean, precise queries.
  • Read rich pro profiles
    Location, services, photos, and public review signals by slug.
  • Compare pros side by side
    A factual 2–5 way breakdown so the owner chooses with confidence.

Start a request

Writes after owner verification
  • Start a service request
    Drafts the request and emails the owner a code. No pro is contacted yet.
  • Answer intake questions
    The agent fills the intake conversationally, the way the owner would.
  • Select pros for quotes
    Choose which shortlisted pros should receive the request.
  • Confirm by email code
    Verifying the code creates real quote and opportunity records and reaches the pros.

Move work forward

On the owner’s verified opportunity
  • Track project status
    Check where the opportunity stands across every pro at a glance.
  • Message pros
    Ask questions and reply right inside the project thread.
  • Respond to missing-info requests
    When a pro needs detail, the agent supplies it so quotes stay accurate.

Decide & close

Owner stays in control
  • Review visit options
    Compare proposed visit times and pick what works for the owner.
  • Accept estimates
    Approve the estimate that wins the work, on the owner’s say-so.
  • Complete & review the work
    Mark the job done and post a review that flows to the pro’s profile.
The handoff

Where the boater’s side meets the pro’s

A confirmed request becomes a real opportunity. From there it’s the same record a pro’s agent works on the Marketplace MCP — responses, visits, and estimates all flow back to this side automatically.

Owner-controlled

No surprise outreach. Ever.

Agents explore every public pro freely — but a request only reaches a pro after the boat owner confirms it by email. Your customers stay in control, always.

Search and profiles are anonymous and read-only.

Requests need explicit owner consent.

Pros are contacted only after email verification.

FAQ

Connector notes

The short answers most teams ask before wiring up the endpoint.

Working the supply side instead?
Marketplace MCP for pros

Is an API key required?

No. The Search MCP is public. Search and profile tools are anonymous, and service requests use owner consent plus email verification instead of keys.

Can an anonymous agent contact pros immediately?

No. The first step only creates a draft and emails the boat owner. Pros are contacted only after the owner confirms with the code.

How does this relate to the Marketplace MCP?

The Search MCP is the boater, demand-side surface. The Marketplace MCP is the pro, supply-side surface and needs a contractor-scoped bearer token. Both work the same opportunity.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote HTTP MCP servers — Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT Apps & Connectors, and custom agents.

Add the endpoint. Let your agent do the legwork.

One public URL connects any MCP client to the Boatwork marketplace — discovery in seconds, requests safely owner-verified.
