Official# @qasperai/mcp-server
MCP server for [Qasper](https://qasper.ai) — discover and book local service businesses (barbers, dentists, plumbers, hair salons, mechanics, and more) directly from any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
This package is a thin stdio shim that proxies to Qasper's hosted MCP server at `https://qasper.ai/mcp`. All tool definitions are pulled live from the upstream so this package never goes out of date.
## Tools
- `SearchBusinesses` — find local businesses by category and location (text or lat/lng).
- `GetBusinessInfo` — name, hours, languages, contact info.
- `GetServices` — service catalog with durations and price ranges.
- `GetPricing` — quote a service with emergency / weekend modifiers.
- `CheckAvailability` — open slots from the business's calendar.
- `BookAppointment` — create a confirmed booking.
- `SendInquiry` — send a free-form question or quote request.
## Install
### Remote (HTTP)
The server is hosted at `https://qasper.ai/mcp` and can be used directly by any MCP client that supports remote (HTTP) servers — no install required:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"qasper": {
"url": "https://qasper.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### Claude Desktop (stdio)
For clients that only support stdio, add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"qasper": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@qasper/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
```
### Cursor / other MCP clients

npx -y @qasper/mcp-server
```

Scored across 9 tools
Each tool targets a distinct action: searching, getting info, checking availability, booking, sending inquiry, etc. Even the two availability tools differ in scope (specific vs. cross-business next available). No ambiguity.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern in snake_case, e.g., book_appointment, check_availability, get_business_info. No mixing of conventions.
9 tools is well-scoped for a local service discovery and booking platform. Each tool serves a clear purpose without unnecessary duplication or bloat.
The tool set covers core workflows: search, info, pricing, availability, booking, inquiry. Missing cancellation or booking management, but the inquiry tool can handle custom requests. Minor gap but not critical.
