Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account BigJai for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches a directory of over 12 million businesses from government registers across 10 countries, letting an assistant look up companies, compare competitors, g

What you can do: Search and read business records by name, country, directory, state, suburb, phone availability and minimum Google rating, and fetch full details for a single business by ID. Find nearby competitors ranked by quality score. Analyse market density for a category in a location, including rating distributions and digital presence. Verify a business against government registers with a confidence score, optionally using an Australian Business Number. List the 19 available directories with country and region metadata.
When to use it: Useful for lead generation, competitive analysis, market research, franchise site selection, or know-your-business verification when you need structured company records from official registers rather than open web search. Best suited to work covering Australia, the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland or France.
Requirements: Either the hosted remote endpoint (OAuth required) or a local install of the PyPI package opendirectories-mcp, which needs Python and six environment variables: APAC_SUPABASE_URL, APAC_SUPABASE_KEY, US_SUPABASE_URL, US_SUPABASE_KEY, EU_SUPABASE_URL and EU_SUPABASE_KEY. Network access to the service or your Supabase instances.

Before you install

The hosted endpoint requires OAuth. Self-hosting needs Supabase anon keys (APAC_SUPABASE_KEY, US_SUPABASE_KEY, EU_SUPABASE_KEY) and instance URLs, which are credentials to keep out of shared configs. Queries and business names are sent to the hosted service or your Supabase instances. Results are read-only lookups, but treat ratings and AI-generated descriptions as third-party data rather than verified facts.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Opendirectories Business Data in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
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/io.github.BigJai%2Fopendirectories-business-data/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. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.
