Bezal — Local Business Intelligence For AI Agents
Bezal Local Commerce is an MCP server that searches 7,000+ US local service businesses by category, location, or keyword.
About
Bezal Local Commerce MCP gives developers an agent-callable lens on thousands of US local service businesses. During idea and validation work, you can ask your coding agent to search by trade, geography, or keyword to see who already operates in a market—useful for local SEO tools, booking apps, agency lead lists, or partnership outreach. The hosted endpoint at app.bezal.ai removes the need to maintain your own business directory scrape. Treat results as a starting map: you still verify licensing, pricing, and positioning on the ground. It complements broader dataset MCPs like Baselight by focusing on named local operators rather macroeconomic series.
