Track reputation with Claude Desktop

The OneLocal LocalReviews server gives your AI client direct access to your customer feedback loop. You run `get_reputation` to see your aggregate scores across all platforms instantly. If the numbers look off, you pull the actual comments using `list_reviews` to find out exactly what customers are saying. You don't have to log into a dashboard to check your metrics anymore. Claude reads the raw data and summarizes your local search standing. When you need specifics on a bad rating, `get_review` pulls the exact text and timestamp so you can draft a response right in the chat.

Manage campaigns from your MCP Server

This MCP Server lets you monitor marketing pushes without leaving the conversation. You trigger `list_campaigns` to see what is currently running. If you need the details on a specific promotion, `get_campaign` returns the active parameters and performance data. Your agent can also check how your word-of-mouth pipeline is holding up. Running `list_referrals` pulls the latest customer recommendations. You get a clear picture of which locations are actually driving new business.

Send review requests instantly

You can actively build your local presence by having the agent run `request_review` via MCP. You just tell Claude to send a prompt to a recent customer via SMS or email. The tool hits the OneLocal API and fires off the invitation. Before you start blasting requests, you can verify your connection using `check_onelocal_status`. You can also map out your exact business footprint by running `list_locations` and `get_location`. This ensures you send the right review link for the right storefront.
