Connect AI agents with MCP, llms.txt and WebMCP
How AI assistants and agents can read public Nola data through the MCP endpoint, the discovery files and WebMCP tools in the browser.
AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT can look up public Nola information, like a business's services, prices and open slots, and send people to the right booking link. Nola offers three ways in: an MCP server, text files for crawlers, and WebMCP tools in the browser. All of them are read-only and need no key.
The MCP server
Nola runs a Model Context Protocol server at:
https://getnola.co/api/mcp
It speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST (streamable HTTP transport) and supports initialize, ping, tools/list and tools/call. No authentication is needed. A GET on the same address returns a short summary with the list of tools.
| Tool | Input | Returns |
|---|---|---|
list_providers | limit (optional, max 100) | Businesses listed in the public directory, plus demo businesses, with booking links |
get_provider | slug | A published business: name, tagline, city, country, locations, currency and booking link |
list_services | slug | Active services that can be booked or inquired about, with duration, price and booking link |
check_availability | serviceId, fromMs, toMs, limit (optional) | Bookable slots with start, end and places left. Times are epoch milliseconds |
get_pricing | serviceId | Price, currency and duration of one service |
search_help | query, locale (en or et) | Matching help guides with links |
To add Nola to an MCP client, add a remote server with the URL above. The exact steps depend on the client.
Discovery files
Agents and crawlers look for these files to learn what Nola is and how to use it:
| Address | What it holds |
|---|---|
/.well-known/mcp | A manifest: the MCP address, transport, tool names and authentication: none |
/llms.txt | A plain-text summary of Nola: product pages, current plans and prices, and industry pages |
/llms-full.txt | A longer index with industry pages, help guides, the MCP address and the REST API |
/openapi.json | The machine-readable description of the REST API |
All addresses are on https://getnola.co.
WebMCP in the browser
In browsers that support WebMCP (navigator.modelContext), every Nola page registers tools that an AI assistant built into the browser can call while you have the site open:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_industries | Lists the industries Nola has pages for, with links |
list_plans | Lists the public pricing plans |
search_help | Searches the help guides |
list_providers | Lists businesses in the public directory |
get_provider | Gets one published business by slug |
navigate | Opens a public page in the current tab, such as /pricing or a booking page |
navigate only goes to public pages: marketing pages, help, pricing, sign-up and sign-in, and booking pages. It cannot open the provider app.
Limits
- Read-only. There are no tools to book, cancel or pay, and no sign-in.
- Lookups by slug only return published businesses, and service lists only show active services.
search_helpsearches a shorter set of guides than this help center, so some pages here may not show up yet.
