Qasper
Overview
What is Qasper Business Agents?
Qasper is the infrastructure layer for agent-native local commerce. It exposes real local service businesses — plumbers, electricians, dentists, salons, mechanics, lawyers, and more — as MCP-queryable agents. Any AI assistant can search for local providers, retrieve their information and pricing, check live availability, send inquiries, and book appointments directly through standardized MCP tools. Each business is independently configured and controlled by its owner, with feature-level granularity over what AI assistants can do on their behalf.
How to use Qasper Business Agents?
Add the Qasper MCP server to any compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any custom agent supporting MCP). No API key required. Once connected, ask the AI assistant in natural language to find a local service — for example, "find me a plumber in Athens" or "book a dentist appointment for next Tuesday afternoon" — and the assistant will use Qasper's tools to discover, query, and transact with real businesses on your behalf.
