What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

quote_real_world_answer
Get a free, immutable price quote for verifying a current fact about a US local business (stock, price, availability, capability, policy, wait time). Returns quote_id, price in integer minor units, scope, expected_completion_seconds and expires_at. Use purchase_quote to buy it.
quote_real_world_action
Get a free price to ARRANGE something at a specific US local business: book an appointment, hold an item, request a formal quote, or cancel a prior booking. This creates a real obligation, so it needs explicit authorization, the customer's name and callback number, and a maximum
purchase_quote
The single purchase path: pays for a quote from EITHER quote_real_world_answer or quote_real_world_action and starts the job. There is no separate action-purchase tool. Returns job_id and job_token (keep it; it is shown once), then poll get_verification_status and read get_verifi
get_verification_status
Read-only progress check on a job bought with purchase_quote. Free, changes nothing, and safe to call repeatedly. Returns the state plus a progress object (businesses discovered, call attempts made). States are queued, discovering, calling or extracting while the job is still run
get_verification_result
Read-only. The answer itself: typed facts, evidence excerpts, timestamps, confidence scores, freshness, and an explicit list of what could not be verified. Free, and safe to call repeatedly. If the job is not final yet the response is provisional (http_status 202) - poll until 20

Common questions

Is Realask - verified answers from the physical world safe?

It passed 4 of 4 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 2 months ago, and the latest version (0.3.0) reached the registry 2 months 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?

Realask MCP

Ask a US local business a current question by phone and get a typed, timestamped, confidence-scored answer back — not a transcript.

Realask is a paid MCP server and HTTP API for AI agents. When a fact changes faster than the web reflects it, or was never published at all — today's stock, a real all-in price, same-day availability, an edge-case capability, a policy exception, the current wait — an agent asks Realask, Realask calls the business, and the agent gets back structured facts with evidence, a timestamp, a confidence score, and an honest list of what could not be verified.

This repository is the public front door: the MCP manifest, connection details, and docs. The service itself is hosted at https://realask.net and is closed-source.

Website: https://realask.net
Machine docs: https://realask.net/llms.txt · https://realask.net/v1/capabilities · https://realask.net/openapi.json
Payment: https://realask.net/.well-known/x402
MCP registry: io.github.danelas/realask

Connect

Realask is a remote MCP server over streamable HTTP. Nothing to install.

"mcpServers": { "realask": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://realask.net/mcp" } } }

Quoting is free and unauthenticated. Buying a quote requires payment (see below), so the purchase tool returns an x402 challenge to any agent that cannot pay for itself.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`quote_real_world_answer`	Free, immutable price quote for verifying a current fact about a US local business.
`quote_real_world_action`	Free price to arrange something — book, hold, request a quote, cancel. Requires explicit authorization, a customer name and callback number, and a price ceiling.
`purchase_quote`	The single purchase path for either kind of quote. Returns `job_id` + `job_token`.
`get_verification_status`	Job progress. Poll every 15–30s; live calls take minutes.
`get_verification_result`	The final answer: typed facts, evidence excerpts, timestamps, confidence, limitations.

Paying

Pricing is per job and quoted up front. Payment is x402 — exact scheme, USDC on Base (eip155:8453) — so a wallet-enabled agent pays inline:

POST /v1/quotes   ->  free: price, scope, expiry

POST /v1/jobs -> 402 with payment requirements -> sign -> 202 { job_id, job_token } GET /v1/jobs/{id}/result

Cached, recently verified answers are offered at a lower price; live_verified forces a fresh call. Full requirements: https://realask.net/.well-known/x402

What it will not do

Realask arranges and reserves; it never buys and never bargains.

Never negotiates, haggles, or asks for a discount
Never pays, and never gives card or bank details — the customer pays the business directly
Never agrees above the maximum price you set
Never substitutes a different item, time, or business than the one you specified
Shares only the customer name and callback number you supply, nothing else
Commits to exactly one business per job, and can never commit twice

No mass calling, no marketing calls, no call recordings.

For businesses

If we called you and you would rather we did not, press 1 during the call or use https://realask.net/opt-out. Businesses can also connect a live data feed so agents are answered from your own data, with you as the source, and we stop calling: https://realask.net/merchants
