Overview

AI-generated overview

LicenseGround is a remote MCP server that lets an assistant verify US trade contractor licenses and run compliance, debarment and OSHA safety checks.

What you can do
Verify a contractor's state license against the California, Florida or Texas licensing boards by name or license number, and run an automated compliance and liability risk assessment for onboarding, hiring or payments. Search active, verified contractors by trade and city in those three states. Check federal debarment or suspension on the SAM.gov excluded parties list, and audit worksite safety history against OSHA inspection and enforcement data. Check the service's own health, cache statistics and multi-state registry connectivity.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant must gate contractor onboarding, hiring, payments or public procurement on verified license status, or screen a company for federal debarment and OSHA violations before committing.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at licenseground.com over streamable HTTP; no local runtime or package. An API key sent in the X-Agent-Key header is declared for production agent lookups. Network access to the service is required.
Before you install
The X-Agent-Key credential is a secret and must be supplied by the client, not exposed. Queries send company names and license numbers to a third-party service. Results are advisory checks against public licensing, federal and OSHA data, so confirm findings with the official boards before making hiring, payment or contract decisions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open LicenseGround 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.licenseground%2Flicenseground/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
