Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search and read Handsome Local, a curated gallery of real UK and US trades and home-services websites, with reviews and screenshots.

What you can do
Search the curated gallery of trades and home-services websites by trade or tag, with screenshots and live site links for each entry. Read a single entry by its slug, including the full review paragraph, every tag, the credit, the live site, the entry page and screenshots. List the trades and tags that have published entries, each with a count, so searches can be built from filters that exist.
When to use it
Useful when looking for real-world examples of well-built websites for plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, HVAC firms or landscapers in the UK and US, or when gathering design and content references for a trades business site.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at handsomelocal.com over streamable HTTP; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared, and no authentication is declared.
Before you install
The gallery is a hand-picked selection, so results reflect editorial choices rather than a complete market survey. Entries link out to third-party live sites; treat their content as external.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Handsome Local 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.handsomelocal%2Fhandsome-local/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

search_websites

Search trade websites

Search Handsome Local, a hand-picked gallery of real websites for trades and home services businesses (plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, heating and HVAC firms, landscapers) in the UK and US. Every entry is a live site chosen by an editor because it is well built and wins work; each comes with a screenshot of the top of the page, a one-sentence summary, its tags and a credit for whoever built it. Filter by trade, region, style, colour, platform, conversion features or typeface, or search free text. Returns the newest matches first. Use it for visual references when designing or building a website for a tradesperson. It does not rate or rank sites and it covers the trades listed only.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
