Lets Claude and Cursor find licensed house painters in 11 US states, using dated licence data from state boards.

This hosted server is run by OttoBot Agency (ottobot.agency), a contractor website and local SEO agency, and is listed in the MCP registry as agency.ottobot/licensed-house-painters. It looks up painters in state licensing-board records. Your assistant can search a city, open one painter's record, and see the licence status with the date it was read, plus the phone and website the board lists. It can also store an estimate request with your contact details, which it should do only after you agree. You connect to a web address, with no sign-in.

Good for

  • Homeowners looking for a licensed painter
  • Property managers checking painter licences before hiring
  • Anyone who wants licence status with a date, not a rating

Tools

  • Finds licensed painters in a US city

    Searches painters and painting contractors in a city of one of 11 covered states (AZ, CA, CT, DE, FL, IA, NV, NY, OR, VA, WA), from state licensing-board records. Each result has the licence number and its status with the date it was read from the board's file, the phone and website the board lists, and the board's lookup page. Active licences come first. It is not a rating or an endorsement.

    Try: “Find licensed house painters in Sacramento, CA.”

    Network · search_painters

  • Shows the full record for one painter

    Returns the business name, address, phone, website, licence number and dated licence status for one painter from the search, plus the state board's lookup page.

    Try: “Show the full record for ca/sacramento/acme-painting-sacramento-ca.”

    Network · get_painter

  • Sends a painting estimate request with your contact details

    Stores a homeowner's request for a painting estimate with their contact details, and replies with licensed painters they can contact directly. It should be called only after you have seen what will be shared and agreed. No painter is assigned automatically and a reply is not guaranteed, because the service is early.

    Try: “Ask for an estimate to paint my living room in Sacramento. My email is jane@example.com.”

Medium risk

The assistant can look up painters and also send your name and contact details to the service when you ask for an estimate. Say no to the estimate step unless you want to be contacted.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • The estimate tool stores your contact details for 365 days

    request_estimate needs a name, a phone number or email, the city and a description of the work. The publisher says it deletes requests 365 days after receipt, or sooner on an email to hello@ottobot.agency. The tool refuses to run unless the homeowner has confirmed, so approve each call yourself. house-painters.ottobot.agency

  • Licence status carries the date it was read

    Status comes from the state board's file on the date shown. Re-check on the board's lookup page before you hire. house-painters.ottobot.agency

  • Limits on estimate requests

    The publisher states 3 requests per phone number or email a day and 100 a day in total. No painter is assigned automatically and a reply is not guaranteed. house-painters.ottobot.agency

Questions

Who runs the Licensed House Painters MCP server?

OttoBot Agency (ottobot.agency), a contractor website and local SEO agency. Its connector page at house-painters.ottobot.agency gives the server URL, tools and data sources, and the registry lists it as agency.ottobot/licensed-house-painters. It is a community server, not run by any state licensing board.

What is the server URL?

https://house-painters.ottobot.agency/mcp. In Claude open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector with that URL. In ChatGPT turn on developer mode and add the same URL. Other clients can add it as a remote server.

Which states does it cover?

Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. It does not cover Utah, Texas or Colorado; the publisher says Texas and Colorado issue no state painting licence.

Is it a rating of painters?

No. The publisher says a listing is not a rating or an endorsement. It returns licence records and the date each was read from the board's file.

What happens to my details when I request an estimate?

The request is stored for 365 days, then deleted. Email hello@ottobot.agency to see or delete it sooner. No painter is assigned automatically and a reply is not guaranteed.

Do I need an API key?

No. The server lists its tools without a key or sign-in. Search and lookup need no personal details; only the estimate request does.
