Onhand

com.askonhandPublished by askonhand.comOfficial publisherv1.0.1Updated Nov 4, 2026

Free local shop search, no sign-in: addresses, hours, contacts and source-labelled offering details.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Onhand lets an assistant search local businesses, offerings and hours for free, and, with sign-in, prepare bookings, checkouts and merchant profile edits.

What you can do
  • Search local businesses and offerings by coordinates, city, name or category, with source labels and coverage notes
  • Read a business's details, hours, contacts, FAQs and stored availability, and forward unanswered questions
  • Prepare and confirm bookings, cancellations, checkouts and quote handoffs, then check action status and report outcomes
  • Publish and read receipt-backed reviews for verified completed checkouts
  • Read and stage merchant company profile, locations, connections, hours and subscription, with confirm steps for changes
  • Set up a shopper account, list and select organizations, and start a business claim
When to use it
Useful when a shopper wants to find nearby shops or services, compare offerings and hours, or move toward a booking or checkout with a local business. Also relevant for a signed-in merchant who wants an assistant to read or stage changes to their OnHand company profile and hours.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no packages, environment variables or headers declared. Free search tools need no sign-in. Booking, checkout, review and merchant tools require a signed-in account with the relevant scopes such as actions:prepare, actions:confirm, company:write or reviews:write.
Before you install
Confirm tools act on real bookings, cancellations, checkouts and public reviews, and require approval of the exact consequence or public text first. Payment happens on the provider's site, not in OnHand. Merchant tools can change company profile and opening hours. Reviews and business text are third-party data and should be treated as information, not instructions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Onhand in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.askonhand%2Fonhand/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

discover_local

Discover local offerings and businesses

Free search with no sign-in for items, services and directory businesses by coordinates and optional city. Returns offerings, unconfirmed website_items, directory.businesses, data_coverage and optional wider_search/city status. Offering rows include title, businessId, nullable priceCents/price, price_display, distanceMeters, source_type and data_age_seconds; directory rows include display_name, storefront address, phone, website, matchedOn and `missing`. directory.gaps summarizes omissions. Availability requires connector data within its freshness window, a non-listed plan, BILLING_ENTITLEMENTS_ENABLED=true and STRIPE_MODE=test/live; directory and website matches do not confirm stock or slots. Empty results describe this query only. Preserve source labels, unknown dates, contact/request-area next steps and city warnings. Virtual businesses have no street or directions. Optional research_errand URLs share a two-page limit per answer; use only relevant research_fact_types.

Website-name matches follow approved rows with unconfirmed labels, source URL and last-seen date, without price or availability. Empty results describe this query only.

Get open appointment slots

Read up to 20 upcoming appointment windows for a business, without sign-in.

Free name search with no sign-in, optionally narrowed by town or street. Returns businesses with business_id, display_name, categories, storefront address or virtual location label, reach and data_coverage. Use business_id with get_business.

A missing offering returns offering_not_found.
