Crawdar MCP server

Which servers in the official MCP registry are Crawdar's own, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.crawdar/business-researchverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under crawdar.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 59 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: find businesses whose customers repeatedly report the same problem; read review evidence behind recurring complaints before pitching.
  • Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "find businesses whose customers repeatedly report the same problem", the likely first call is scan_review_pain_points.
  • For "read review evidence behind recurring complaints before pitching", the likely first call is scan_review_pain_points.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

  • can do · find businesses whose customers repeatedly report the same problem
  • can do · read review evidence behind recurring complaints before pitching
  • not sure · check whether a complaint is still current with the business

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (30%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%) and use (15%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers10 tools · read 2026-10-24
  • scan_review_pain_points

    Scan a named business or discover up to three businesses for recent recurring complaints. Returns individually sourced reviews and possible technical solutions. Coverage is sampled; unavailable reviews never mean no problems. Five scans…

  • research_businesses

    Use for a quick synchronous search when the user supplies one natural-language brief and can wait for results in the current tool call. For durable progress, retry, export, or large agent workflows, use start_lead_search instead.

  • search_businesses

    Use for a quick synchronous search when target, geography, and qualification fields are already structured. Use research_businesses for a plain-language brief, or start_lead_search for durable asynchronous work.

  • sandbox_businesses

    Return deterministic fictional businesses without consuming provider capacity. Use this to test schemas, clients, and agent loops.

  • start_lead_search

    Use for the recommended durable asynchronous workflow. Creates a private queued search job and returns a job id plus jobToken for progress polling, cursor paging, refinement, retry, cancellation, and CSV or JSON export.

  • get_lead_search

    Read job status or one cursor-paginated result page. Keep jobToken private and pass nextCursor back unchanged.

  • refine_lead_search

    Create a new private search job by changing the brief or criteria of a completed job. The original job stays unchanged.

  • retry_lead_search

    Create a replacement job when a prior job failed or exceeded its execution window. The original job stays available for audit.

  • cancel_lead_search

    Cancel a queued or running search job. Completed and failed jobs remain immutable.

  • explain_crawdar

    Get result semantics, limits, interface URLs, and safe operating guidance. This tool does not consume a search.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "business-research": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://crawdar.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http crawdar https://crawdar.com/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://crawdar.com/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
