For AI assistants

Use LocallyIrish in Claude and ChatGPT

Our connector lets AI assistants search Ireland's local business directory and request quotes, with a link to the real listing on every result.

Last updated 23 October 2026. Provided by LocallyIrish.ie, run by Sevenoways Innovations, Coolaney, Co. Sligo, Ireland.

What it does

LocallyIrish lists over 175,000 local businesses across the island of Ireland. The connector is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so an AI assistant can look businesses up directly instead of guessing, and every answer links to the business's listing on locallyirish.ie.

It is free and needs no account or login.

Tools

search_businesses · Read only

Finds local businesses by trade or category and, optionally, county, with an option for only those open now. Returns up to 25 listings with name, category, town, county, phone, website, rating and the listing URL.

get_business · Read only

Returns one listing's details by its locallyirish.ie slug: address, phone, website, rating, whether it is open now, and the listing URL.

request_quote · Creates a request

Submits a quote request (the trade needed, county, the person's name, email, optional phone and job details). A LocallyIrish team member reviews every request before it is forwarded to matching businesses. Nothing is sent automatically.

Things to ask

  • “Find a well-rated plumber in Sligo”
  • “Which cafés in Galway city are open now?”
  • “Get me quotes for a new roof in Co. Cork”
  • “What are the opening hours of The Harp Tavern?”

Data and privacy

  • The search and details tools receive only what the assistant sends to run the search (for example “plumber” and “Sligo”). We do not receive your conversation, chat history, files or memory.
  • The quote tool receives the name, email, optional phone and job details you choose to share, only when you ask the assistant to request quotes. We store them as a quote request, a person on our team reviews it, and only then is it forwarded to matching local businesses so they can contact you.
  • We use the calling IP address briefly to apply rate limits; it is not stored with your request.
  • Full details, including retention and your rights: Privacy policy.

Limits and fair use

Searches return at most 25 businesses. Requests are rate-limited to keep the service available for everyone. Bulk copying of the directory is not permitted.
