WRDO (World Ready Digital Operator) is a hosted MCP server that connects AI assistants to local business information and services in South Africa. Discover businesses by category and location, retrieve business details and available menus or price lists, and start service requests through an AI-powered conversational workflow. WRDO provides five MCP tools for searching local businesses, exploring categories, retrieving business profiles and price lists, and initiating requests. It uses Streamable HTTP and supports anonymous access, making it easy to connect compatible AI clients without managing your own server. Built to bridge the gap between AI conversations and real-world local commerce.

WRDO for AI assistants

Find local businesses, menus and price lists in Cape Town and the Western Cape, South Africa,
and start a request with them in WRDO, from any AI assistant that speaks MCP.

Documentation · Privacy · Terms · Support

WRDO is a hosted Model Context Protocol server. There is nothing to install or run: point your assistant at the URL below.

https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP
Sign-in: none. Every tool is read-only and anonymous.
Coverage: the Western Cape, including Cape Town, Paarl and the Cape Winelands.
Rate limit: 30 requests per minute per caller.

This repository holds no server code. It holds the small config files that let Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI and other tools add WRDO in one step.

Usage

Once WRDO is added (see Installation), just ask your assistant in plain words. It picks the right WRDO tool by itself.

What you can ask

Find a hairdresser in Cape Town.

Which restaurants in Paarl have a menu with something under R100?

What's on the menu at Breezy's, and how much is the garlic and cheese pita?

Find a hairdresser in Wellington and start a request for Saturday morning.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_local_businesses`	Find businesses by what they do or their name, optionally in a town or suburb. Narrow by category, by whether they have a price list, by a maximum price in rand, and by whether they are open now.
`list_categories`	The kinds of business WRDO lists, with how many of each, for a town, a suburb or everywhere.
`get_business`	One business's public WRDO page: category, area and whether it is verified. Verified businesses add their description, address, opening hours, website and menu link. Shows WRDO's own reviews only, never reviews copied from other sites.
`get_price_list`	A business's menu or price list: items with prices in rand. Prices taken from the business's own website are marked as not yet confirmed.
`start_request`	A link the person opens to ask WRDO for a quote, booking or order. Nothing is booked or paid inside the assistant: the person finishes in WRDO, and prices are only confirmed when the business confirms them.

Results only ever carry public business information. No phone numbers, email addresses or personal data are returned.

Installation

Add WRDO to your assistant. Pick your client below.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
Name it WRDO and paste https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp as the URL.
Leave authentication empty and click Add.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http wrdo https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp

Or install it as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add wrdo-development/wrdo-mcp-connector
/plugin install wrdo@wrdo

Cursor

Add WRDO to Cursor, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrdo": { "url": "https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code

Add WRDO to VS Code, or run:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"wrdo","type":"http","url":"https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp"}'

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/wrdo-development/wrdo-mcp-connector

Goose

Run goose configure, choose Add Extension, pick the remote Streamable HTTP option, name it wrdo and paste https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp.

Any other client

Most clients take the URL directly. A client that only runs local (stdio) servers can bridge to it:

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp

Agent-to-agent (A2A)

WRDO also publishes a signed A2A agent card:

https://api.wrdo.co.za/.well-known/agent-card.json

Streamable HTTPRemote

Pick your client and paste the snippet. Each one is the same server, written the way that client expects it.

bash

Run the command below in your terminal.
Restart Claude Code, then check the connection with /mcp.

claude mcp add wrdo --transport http https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrdo": {
      "url": "https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp"
    }
  }
}

code --add-mcp '{"name":"wrdo","url":"https://api.wrdo.co.za/mcp"}'

Runs as a hosted service. Your client connects over the network and nothing is installed locally.

Install with your agent

Paste this prompt into your agent. It reads this page and does the setup for you.

prompt

Read https://aiagentslisting.com/mcp/wrdo-mcp-connector to learn what the "WRDO" MCP server does and how to install it. Add it to my coding agent's MCP configuration as documented on that page, then confirm the server connects and list the tools it exposes.

Agents can also browse this directory over MCP at https://aiagentslisting.com/api/mcp
