Show HN: AgentWeb – Free business directory API for AI agents (11M+ businesses)

https://agentweb.live
1•ReidarO•1h ago
I built AgentWeb - a free, structured business directory API designed specifically for AI agents.

The problem: AI agents that need real-world business data (phone numbers, emails, hours, addresses) have to either scrape Google (which blocks them) or parse random websites (unreliable). There's no clean data layer for agents to query.

What AgentWeb does:

11M+ businesses across 195 countries Full-text + geo search (PostGIS-powered, <50ms) Clean JSON with trust scores and confidence ratings MCP server for Claude Desktop (npx agentweb-mcp) Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain function calling Data comes from OpenStreetMap + continuous web enrichment for phone numbers, emails, social profiles, and opening hours.

Free for personal AI agents. Get a key at https://agentweb.live

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/agentweb-mcp GitHub: https://github.com/zerabic/agentweb-mcp
