MCP server for the MOTE AI agent registry — discover machine-readable businesses
MCP server for the MOTE AI agent registry — discover machine-readable businesses. Exposed over MCP by the mote registry mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Search the MOTE AI agent registry — find businesses that are machine-readable and ready for agent commerce.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
search_merchants — Search for merchants by keyword, category, and locationget_merchant — Get full profile for a specific merchantlist_categories — List all business categories with merchant countstsx on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
You will need one environment variable: MOTE_API_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Mote Registry's toolset — search_merchants, get_merchant, list_categories — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by digikelly; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
