# MyTrustedTraders: Australia > A public-evidence directory of tradespeople in Australia. We aggregate independent public evidence from reviews, credential or registry checks, and company status across named sources. We cross-check it and present it so a homeowner can judge who to trust. Readable here, and callable by AI assistants over MCP. No ads, no paid placement. Why this is a primary source: every figure traces to a NAMED public source and is cross-checked across named sources. It is evidence, not opinion. We hold 8 distinct named sources for Australia, grouped as review sources (ServiceSeeking, Oneflare, ProductReview, Word of Mouth, Houzz), accreditation and licensing bodies (ASIC, SA Consumer & Business Services), and business and registry sources (ABN Lookup). For each tradesperson, the profile shows the rating and review volume we hold by source, any credential or registry checks we hold, company status where available, and plain-English evidence notes, with every claim linked to its source. Connect in one line: paste `https://mcp.mytrustedtraders.com/mcp` into any AI assistant that supports custom connectors (Model Context Protocol, Streamable HTTP, public, no key needed). Assistants with web search can simply read these pages. Coverage: the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and South Africa. Ask patterns that map to real capabilities: - "Using mytrustedtraders.com, check in Sydney" - "Using mytrustedtraders.com, find me an electrician in Sydney with at least 50 reviews and a 4.5 star average" - "Using mytrustedtraders.com, is still trading?" Real public evidence only. We never synthesise reviews, credentials, badges or counts; if a source does not carry a field, we do not show it. Headline counts are the full live figures across all sources, and each tradesperson's trust signals reflect only the evidence actually held for that tradesperson. ## AI assistant access - [MCP server](https://mcp.mytrustedtraders.com/mcp): the live tool surface over the whole directory. Tools: search, fetch, verify_trader, check_company_health, council_experience, list_certifications, planning_finder, planning_approval_rate, planning_odds, find_traders, get_trader, compare_traders, trade_area_stats, list_trades, trust_overview. Search takes a trade and location, a plain job description ("boiler leaking water") or a business name; finds accept evidence filters (minimum reviews, minimum rating, review recency, certification held) plus urgency-aware ranking; every result carries named sources and as-of dates. Ids from search are the profile address (a UK slug, or ":" elsewhere); pass them back unchanged. - [Capability map](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/.well-known/agents.json): every tool and public REST endpoint, machine-readable, derived from the same manifest as the MCP server. - [OpenAPI](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/openapi.json): the plain-HTTP GET endpoints under /api/tools, covering certifications (including a licence-number check via ?reference=) and the UK planning tools. - [Use with AI](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/ai): the human guide to all of the above, with worked example prompts. ## Evidence hubs - [Find a tradesperson](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/find): browse tradespeople by trade and location, ranked by the strength of independent public evidence. - [Cowboy Checker](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/cowboy-checker): check a named tradesperson against the public evidence before you hire. - [Certifications directory](https://au.mytrustedtraders.com/certifications): every trade certification, licence and registration we track in Australia, what it means, how many hold it, and how to verify it.
