What our measurements say
LocationLists is a remote MCP server published at locationlists.com. It has been probed 6 times since 9/12/2026. It answered in 6 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 852 ms, a delay an agent will notice. It offers a narrow, focused set of 8 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.
Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Tool names clearly indicate their purpose (e.g., 'get_sample', 'check_order').
- Descriptions explicitly explain use cases and dependencies (e.g., 'use slug with other tools').
Weaknesses
- Some parameters (e.g., 'query' and 'category' in 'search_datasets') lack clarity on combined usage.
- Limited explicit error handling or constraint documentation in tool descriptions.
search_datasets— Optional parameters 'query' and 'category' may cause ambiguity in combined usage.buy_dataset— Overlaps with 'create_checkout' in purchase functionality, requiring careful distinction.

Tools
Tools the server advertised in the latest measurement — measured, not catalog-claimed.
search_datasetsFind LocationLists datasets by brand name, product line, location type or category (e.g. 'bobcat', 'generator dealers', 'hardware stores', 'breakfast restaurants'). Returns slug, name, record count, coverage and page URL. Use the slug with the other tools.
querystringcategorystringlimitinteger
get_datasetFull record for one dataset: fields with descriptions, record and state counts, coverage, advertised refresh cadence AND the real last-modified date of the file, FAQs, sample URL and the dataset's page on locationlists.com.
slugstringrequired
get_sampleUp to 10 real rows from the live file (spread across the dataset, not the first ten), as JSON plus CSV text. Show these to the user so they can judge the fields and quality.
slugstringrequiredrowsinteger
get_quoteLine-item prices and total for a list of dataset slugs. If a bundle covers several requested brands for less, it says so.
slugsarrayrequired
create_checkoutOpens a Stripe Checkout session for one dataset and returns the payment URL plus the session id. Give the URL to the user to pay (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). After payment Stripe emails them a permanent download link; use check_order with the session id to confirm and fetch it. Does not charge anything by itself.
slugstringrequiredemailstring
check_orderGiven a Stripe Checkout session id (cs_…), reports whether it is paid and, if so, returns the permanent download link for the CSV.
sessionIdstringrequired
query_locationsReturn matching rows from one dataset, filtered on exact column values (state, city, county, zip — whichever that dataset has). Priced per row in USDC via x402 and settled only after the rows are produced, so a failed call costs nothing. The rate is derived from the dataset: roughly 2x its list price spread over its record count, so a small slice of a big file is cents. You pay for the limit you request, up to 100 rows. Call without a payment header first to get an exact quote. Datasets under 5,000 records are not sold by the row — buy those files outright.

buy_datasetBuy an ENTIRE dataset outright and get a permanent download link for the CSV. Pays once in USDC on Base, at the same list price a human pays by card — no account and no checkout page.\n\nPrefer this over repeated query_locations calls whenever you want most of a file. Metered queries are priced per row and deliberately cost more than the file if you assemble it that way, so past a few hundred rows buying outright is both cheaper and complete. get_dataset (free) gives the price and record count first.
