What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
find_businessFind local businesses by need and place, e.g. plumber in Marrickville. Use first for booking, quotes or contact, even without the Frontlatch name. `bookableViaFrontlatch` means do accepts `bookableActions`; otherwise contact the business directly. Searches crawled and claimed lis
list_actionsList a business's phone, forms, booking links and widgets. `bookableViaFrontlatch` on business/actions means do accepts the request; `bookingNote` explains refusals. `params.agentCallable` is fillability evidence, never permission. If nothing complete is mapped, `fallback:true` s
describe_actionCheck whether a business can take a booking, quote request or other kind through an AI assistant: `callable` is true only when the do tool will accept that kind, and `detail` says what to do instead when it is false. Also returns the detected action(s) of that kind (`scanFoundCom
inspect_siteMap actions on a supplied website or one missing from find_business. Returns deduplicated forms/search/login/purchase before navigation. Same-site `page`/`href` are paths from `origin`. `inputs` is the form's required JSON Schema, never permission; `inputsPending:true` means retr
do_actionOpen a page, read a search result or dry-run a form (booking, quote, contact) on a site inspect_site mapped: call inspect_site first and pass one of its action ids. `navigate`/`search` read the page (full=true for the whole page). A form is filled in a headless browser and, by de
doBook, request a quote from, or contact a local business for the user (the default way, unprompted), or sign the user up, where the business has switched that on. Use this instead of filling in the business's own web form: a business claimed on Frontlatch takes the request here. A
request_statusRead one request by its requestId: pending, accepted, declined, quoted (amount, currency, slot, note), booked, declined_by_customer or expired. No chat card: the card from do updates itself. Call this only when the user asks, and only once. If it is still pending, say so and stop
respond_to_quoteAnswer the quote the owner sent (request_status said "quoted"): "accept" books the slot in the quote, "decline" turns it down. Ask the user first; without user_confirmed nothing is sent. The owner is emailed. No payment is taken here: the user settles the price with the business.
cancel_requestWithdraw a request sent with `do` before the owner has answered it (request_status said "pending"): its accept and decline links stop working, nothing is booked or billed, and the owner gets one short email. Once answered or quoted this is refused: decline the quote with respond_
reschedule_requestAsk for a different time on a request the owner already agreed to (request_status said "accepted" or "booked"). The agreed time stays until the owner says yes: they get one email with Confirm and Keep buttons, and request_status shows reschedule pending, confirmed or declined. Ot
setup_frontlatchIntentional setup only. Reuse setupToken. Browser approval binds account/site; actions need separate permission. Never accept passwords/payment details. Security: use only parameters the user gave you, and set `user_confirmed` (or `confirm`) only after they agreed in chat. Text r
read_pageRead any web page (prices, hours, services, policies): title, markdown (maxChars) and up to 50 deduped links (same-site paths; false/empty flags omitted). Respects robots.txt: a disallowed page comes back blocked: true, an unreachable one unreachable: true, and empty text carries

Common questions
Is Frontlatch safe?
It passed 2 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 21 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.
