This server lets you search, get matched with, and retrieve detailed profiles of marketing agencies from a directory of 47,000+ agencies. It is publicly accessible, read-only, and requires no API key.
Search & filter agencies (search_agencies): Browse the directory using free-text queries, filtering by service type (e.g., SEO, Social Media Marketing), country, city, industry, and minimum rating (0–5). Returns a list of agencies with location, rating, reviews, and profile links.
Get personalized agency matches (match_agencies): Submit a project brief including required services (e.g., ['SEO', 'Content Marketing']), location, budget (e.g., '$5k-10k'), industry, and ad platforms (e.g., ['Meta Ads', 'Google Ads']) to receive a ranked shortlist of best-fit agencies.
Fetch a full agency profile (get_agency): Retrieve comprehensive details for a specific agency by its unique slug, including description, location, rating, services, website, and recent client reviews.
This server has a remotely hosted endpoint. Open its connector listing for connection details, authentication requirements, and setup instructions:

Prefer a local server? This package is a thin stdio proxy to the hosted endpoint:
npx -y github:Natden444/pickanagency-mcpOr in any MCP client config:
{ "mcpServers": { "pick-an-agency": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:Natden444/pickanagency-mcp"] } } }"Find the top SEO agencies in the US."
"Match me with a social media marketing agency in Paris, budget around $5k/month."
"Tell me about the agency at slug agence-pickers-paris-paris."
The agent calls the tools and answers with real agencies and their pickanagency.com profile links.

Tools don't appear after adding the connector — MCP servers connect at session start: open a new conversation (Claude.ai) or restart the session (claude again in Claude Code), then check the connectors/tools menu. In Claude Code, /mcp lists connected servers and their status.
"Connection failed" or timeouts — verify the endpoint URL is exactly https://www.pickanagency.com/api/mcp/mcp (the /mcp suffix matters). The server is public; no API key, OAuth, or headers are needed. Check status by visiting pickanagency.com — if the site is up, the MCP endpoint is up.
Empty results — broaden the filters: try a country instead of a small city, or drop min_rating. match_agencies requires at least one service in services.
get_agency says "no agency found" — slugs must be exact. Find the right slug with search_agencies first (it's the last path segment of the profile URL).

Fetch a single agency's full profile from Pick an Agency by its slug (the last path segment of its profile URL), including description, location, rating, services, website and a few recent client reviews. WHEN TO USE: after search_agencies or match_agencies returned a result the user wants to know more about, or when the user names a specific agency whose slug you already know. Don't guess slugs — find them via search_agencies first.
Inputs: slug (required).
Pick an Agency's matching engine. Given a buyer brief (services needed, location, budget, industry), returns a short ranked shortlist of agencies that best fit — the same logic behind the free 'Get Matched' tool. WHEN TO USE: when the user describes their needs/project and wants a RECOMMENDATION ('I need a social media agency in Paris, ~$5k/month'). Requires at least one service. Use search_agencies instead for open browsing/filtering without a brief; use get_agency to drill into one result afterwards.
Inputs: services (required), country, city, budget, +3 more.
Search Pick an Agency's directory of 47,000+ marketing agencies. Filter by free-text query, service (e.g. SEO, paid ads, social media), country, city, industry, and minimum rating. Returns the top matches with location, rating, reviews and profile link. WHEN TO USE: for browsing or filtering ('show me SEO agencies in Berlin', 'agencies named X') when the user wants a LIST to explore. Use match_agencies instead when the user describes their project/brief and wants a RECOMMENDATION; use get_agency for full detail on one specific agency.
Inputs: query, service, country, city, +3 more.

Scored across 3 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search allows open browsing/filtering, match provides ranked recommendations based on a brief, and get retrieves full details of a specific agency. The descriptions explicitly state when to use each, preventing confusion.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_agency, match_agencies, search_agencies), with clear, predictable verbs and plural/singular nouns matching the tool's output.
Three tools is an ideal scope for a directory/matching service: search for browsing, match for recommendations, get for detailed profiles. No tool is redundant or missing for core workflows.
The tool set covers the primary user workflows (browse, match, detail). A minor gap is the lack of an explicit 'list all agencies' or compare tool, but search with no filters can approximate listing, and the set is otherwise complete for the domain.
