## What it does

The server gives an agent tools to search 13 marketplaces, including TCGPlayer, Reverb, Redfin, and Craigslist. Separate tools cover IMDb searches, Houzz and Thumbtack professionals, estate sales, and storage facilities. The package contains 22 tools in total.

It can check contractor licenses in CA, TX, FL, and NY, and nurse licenses in FL and NY. Other lookups cover childcare costs by ZIP code, county, or state, home-service estimates, FCC certifications, and GSA auction lots. License checks are limited to the listed states.

Run it with `npx`. `MARKETPLACE_API_KEY` is optional and enables authenticated access; registration is offered for higher quotas. There is also a tool that rates AI skill safety as SAFE, CAUTION, or DANGER.
