Local Source

Connect an agent

Hosted MCP

Let your agent set it up

Set up Local Source in Codex. Follow https://app.getlocalsource.com/auth.md to use the verified device sign-in, then follow https://app.getlocalsource.com/agent-quickstart.md to configure hosted MCP. Do not ask me to copy or paste an API key; collect it from the device flow and store it securely yourself.

Server: https://app.getlocalsource.com/api/mcp
Auth: Verified device sign-in
Status: Not connected until the tool test passes

ManualCreate or paste a key, configure raw MCP/REST, and test requests yourself.

Manual API key

Verified account

Current manual key

Replacing a key revokes the prior self-service key. The browser stores a pasted or newly created manual key only on this device.

Test the API

Playground results

Create or paste an API key, then run a search.

REST example

curl -s https://app.getlocalsource.com/api/v1/places/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"categories":["dentist"],"states":["MI"],"require_website":true,"limit":5}'

Example task

Use Local Source.

First, call list_categories with query="dent" and limit=5.

Then search for 10 HVAC contractors in Michigan that have websites.

Return a table with:
- name
- primary_category
- postal_code
- state
- phone
- website_url
- domain

Do not omit any of those columns. Use an em dash when a returned value is null.

If you hit a rate limit, wait according to retry_after_seconds or tell me the retry_after_seconds value.
