# WRDO

Adds a hosted MCP server for finding Western Cape businesses, menus and price lists, and for opening a request in WRDO. Nothing to run locally.

## What it does

WRDO is a remote MCP server speaking Streamable HTTP at `https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp`. Point your assistant at that URL and ask in plain words; it picks the tool on its own. There is no sign-in, and every tool reads public data anonymously.

Five tools ship with it. `search_local_businesses` matches on name or trade, with optional filters for town or suburb, category, a rand ceiling and whether the place is open right now. `list_categories` reports which business types exist and how many of each. `get_business` returns one public page: category, area, verification status, plus description, address, hours, website and menu link for verified entries. `get_price_list` lists items with rand prices, and anything scraped from a business's own site is flagged as unconfirmed. `start_request` hands back a link the person opens to ask for a quote, booking or order.

Coverage is the Western Cape, Cape Town, Paarl and the Cape Winelands among it. Callers get 30 requests per minute. Bookings and payments never happen inside the assistant — the person finishes in WRDO, and only the business confirms a price. Responses carry public business information only: no phone numbers, no email addresses, no personal data.
