What is Truee?

Truee is a verified business directory for Africa. The Truee MCP server lets AI agents search, filter, and retrieve detailed profiles of verified businesses — with contact info, location, services, branches, and verification status.

Tools

search_businesses

Search for businesses using natural language or structured filters. Powered by AI query understanding.

{
  "query": "logistics companies in Lagos",
  "country": "NG",
  "limit": 10
}

query_businesses

Structured search without AI query parsing — faster and cheaper (1 credit vs 2). Use when you already know the exact keywords.

{
  "keywords": "fabric seller",
  "city": "Ibadan",
  "country": "NG"
}

Same parameters as search_businesses, but uses keywords instead of query.

get_business

Fetch the full profile of a specific business by its ID or URL slug.

{
  "id_or_slug": "acme-logistics-ng"
}

Returns: services, products, branches, verifications, social links, and all contact info.

list_categories

List all available business category codes. Use the returned codes in search_businesses or query_businesses.

{}

No parameters required.

Example Prompts

Once connected, you can ask your AI agent things like:

• "Find me verified fintech companies in Lagos"
• "What logistics companies operate in Abuja?"
• "Show me the full profile for acme-logistics-ng"
• "What business categories does Truee cover?"
• "Find fabric sellers near Victoria Island within 10km"
