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.
