Can I use Search My Biz Info from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, through the MCP server. Add its URL as a custom connector in your app; reading works immediately, and on your first write a browser opens so that you can connect your account.

Can an AI assistant vote or pay for me?

No. An assistant cannot vote, because votes come only from people on the site, and it cannot pay: you open the checkout link the API returns and pay on that page yourself.

Do I have to pay for the API?

No charge for the API or the MCP server: both are free within the published rate limits. A paid launch or other purchase is priced on the pricing page.

Is there an API for Search My Biz Info?

Yes: /api/v1 is the free REST API (OpenAPI) and /mcp is the remote MCP server. No sign-in is needed to read public data; to submit or manage your listings you sign in to your account with OAuth or an API key.

Can the AI invent facts about my product?

The AI is built not to. It uses only what is on your own website, anything it cannot verify there stays blank and marked, and you review and can change every field before anything goes live.

Search My Biz Info for developers

Search My Biz Info is open to your own code and to AI assistants. Search every launch, read leaderboards and founder stories, submit your product by website address, edit your listing and get a checkout link for paid launches. The REST API and the MCP server share one set of rules and do the same things.

MCP server: https://searchmybizinfo.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
REST API: https://searchmybizinfo.com/api/v1
OpenAPI 3.1: https://searchmybizinfo.com/api/v1/openapi.json
Sign-in: OAuth 2.1 for apps, or a personal key from API keys
Version: 1.0.0 (changelog)

Use it with your AI assistant

Point your MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and others) at https://searchmybizinfo.com/mcp, as a custom connector or MCP server. Try “What launched this week in my category?”, “Find alternatives to my competitor” or “Launch my product https://example.com”. You can read straight away, and the first time you change something a browser opens so you can connect your account. Step-by-step for each app.

Rules that always apply

Pricing is Search My Biz Info's own, served by list_products in US dollar cents; VAT is not included.
Voting is closed to the API and the MCP server. On Search My Biz Info, votes come only from people who are on the site.
Paid placements, meaning the billboard and sponsorships, always carry a label saying that they are paid. Community rankings are built from votes alone.
Drafts written by the AI rest on evidence quoted from the product's own site, and a fact it cannot find stays blank and marked instead of being made up.
Paying is always a human step on a checkout page. The API supplies the link and takes no card details at any point.
