Common questions

Is The Septic Guide safe?

It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 14 days ago, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 14 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT Business and above.

What can I use instead?

The Septic Guide MCP server

Read-only Model Context Protocol server for thesepticguide.com, a U.S. septic contractor directory built from published state license and certification records.

No API key. No writes. Every result carries a source_url on thesepticguide.com.

Tools

Tool	What it returns
`list_states`	States with a licensing page and/or company directory, with links
`get_state_licensing`	`state` (name or code): the agency that licenses septic work, its official lookup URL, page date, and the page's licensing Q&A
`search_septic_companies`	`state` plus optional `city`, `county`, `zip`, `service`, `licensed_only`, `limit`: listings with license number(s), agency verify link, phone, website, profile link
`get_cost_guide`	optional `topic` (e.g. `pumping`, `drain field`): short answer, cost tables, and the third-party sources the page cites. No topic = list topics

Data

By default the server answers from a bundled snapshot in data/ (data/snapshot.json for the index, licensing and cost pages, plus one gzipped file per state in data/companies/). Every response includes data_mode and data_as_of (the snapshot date). Rebuild it with:

npm run snapshot   # crawls thesepticguide.com (sitemap, state + county pages) and rewrites data/

Set TSG_LIVE=1 to skip the snapshot and read thesepticguide.com live instead (6-hour in-memory cache). Live mode is also used automatically if data/ is missing.

Company counts

Each state page's meta description gives a headline number (e.g. Texas: "363 septic companies"). In some states the listings actually rendered on the state page plus its county pages come to fewer (Texas: 360). The server never pads results: search_septic_companies reports listed_on_pages (rendered listings it searched) and state_page_headline_count (the page's own number), with a count_note when they differ. Same-name listings with different services or license records are distinct state-list records and are kept.

Data & limits

Read-only. No writes, no API key, no user data collected.
Public data from thesepticguide.com. Every result carries a source_url on thesepticguide.com.
License data comes from published state agency license and certification lists, as matched by thesepticguide.com. Confirm any license with the agency verify_url before hiring.
Not affiliated with any state agency.
Snapshot data can lag the live site; check data_as_of.
