Agent Broker — SMB Transaction & Communication MCP Server

An agent-callable MCP server that lets autonomous AI agents find, verify, message, schedule with, and transact with small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) through a single compliance-enforced tool surface.

Live endpoint: https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/mcp (streamable-http, always-on Cloudflare edge)

---

Why this exists

There are ~60 million long-tail small businesses in the US — barbers, plumbers, accountants, home cleaners — and they have no API surface. AI agents that need to schedule a haircut, get a quote, or send a confirmation today must either drive a browser, cold-call by voice, or give up.

This server is the missing middle layer. Agents call us; we route to the right SMB through whichever channel reaches them fastest — Cal.com → SMS → voice AI → email — with full TCPA / GDPR / CASL / 10DLC compliance enforced as a non-bypassable gate.

Current status (honest)

Capability	Status
MCP endpoint (streamable-http)	Live — https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/mcp
14 MCP tools	Live (callable today)
Compliance gate (TCPA/GDPR/CASL)	Live
REST + A2A + OpenAI/Anthropic tool surfaces	Live
SMB supply network	Demo — 20+ seed SMBs; demo bookings return demo_smb_no_live_booking
Per-call payments via x402/USDC on Base	Coming soon — not yet active — tools are currently free
Production SMB onboarding	Planned — real businesses not yet enrolled

The MCP server is live and callable right now. Bookings hit demo data, and per-call payments (x402/USDC) are not yet charged. Both are in progress.

14 MCP Tools

All tools are callable via MCP, REST, OpenAI function calling, Anthropic tool_use, or A2A protocol.

#	Tool	What it does
1	find_business	Search SMBs by vertical, location, and capability — free
2	verify_business	Confirm an SMB is real, operating, and capable of the requested service — free
3	send_message	Send SMS, email, or voice with full compliance pre-check (TCPA/GDPR/CASL)
4	capture_lead	Structured intake of a prospect into an SMB pipeline with CRM integration
5	schedule_appointment	Book, reschedule, or cancel — tries direct booking API, falls back to voice AI
6	send_transactional_confirmation	TCPA-exempt OTPs, booking confirmations, receipts
7	handle_inbound	Classify inbound messages: booking / cancel / opt-out / question / complaint
8	escalate_to_human	Hand off a stuck or ambiguous task to a human operator with full context
9	get_status	Poll the current state of an async operation — free
10	get_outcome	Retrieve the final OutcomeReceipt (with cost and reason codes) — free
11	preview_cost	Estimate cost, latency, and success probability before committing — free
12	self_test	Verify service health and all claimed capabilities are responding — free
13	import_booking_url	Turn any Cal.com, Calendly, Doctolib, Booksy, OpenTable, Square, Acuity, or Fresha URL into a bookable SMB record
14	call_business	Place a conversational voice-AI phone call to a business on behalf of a consumer

Quick start

Connect via MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, etc.)

  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-broker": {
      "url": "https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No API key required for read-only tools. State-changing tools accept an optional X-Agent-Identity bearer token.

Discover tools (JSON-RPC)

curl -X POST https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/mcp \

    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Book a haircut in Atlanta Saturday under $50"}],
    tools=tools,
)

Anthropic tool use

import httpx, anthropic
tools = httpx.get(
    "https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/.well-known/anthropic-tools.json"
).json()["tools"]

)

Plain REST

curl -X POST https://agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev/ops/find_business \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Architecture

AI agent
   |
   v  MCP / REST / A2A
Cloudflare Worker edge  (agent-broker-edge.basil-agent.workers.dev)
   |  300+ PoPs globally -- discovery served from edge bundle in 40-70 ms
   |
   +-- GET /.well-known/* /manifest /llms.txt  --> embedded snapshot (40-70 ms)
   +-- POST /mcp  initialize / tools/list      --> embedded snapshot (40-65 ms)
   +-- POST /mcp  tools/call  /ops/*           --> proxy to origin  (170-190 ms)
                |
                v
        Python FastAPI  (smb-broker.onrender.com)
                |  Cron keep-alive every 2 min (eliminates Render cold starts)
                |
                +-- 14 operation handlers  (core/)
                +-- Compliance gate        (compliance/pre_check)
                +-- Channel adapters       (channels/ -- Twilio, Cal.com, Vapi, SendGrid)
                +-- Billing + outcome store
                +-- All .well-known / MCP endpoints (also served from edge bundle)

The edge worker can outlive the origin: discovery still works even if the origin is down. Idempotency is keyed by (agent_id, operation, idempotency_key) with 24h TTL. Async operations return pending_async; poll with get_status / get_outcome.

Compliance

Every outbound communication passes through compliance/pre_check():

1. Content classification — blocks restricted categories (gambling, adult, cannabis, spam)
2. Opt-out check — TCPA STOP keyword, GDPR right-to-be-forgotten, CASL
3. Consent check — TCPA written consent, GDPR opt-in, CASL implied/express
4. 10DLC registry check — US SMS campaign compliance
5. Two-party recording consent — CA, FL, IL, MD, MA, MT, NV, NH, PA, WA
6. Audit log — PII stored as SHA-256 hash, never plaintext

Violations surface as ComplianceViolationError and are never silently bypassed.
