Who it is for
UK householders finding a tradesperson or booking a fixed-price job.
Checkatrade
Find vetted UK tradespeople by postcode and book fixed-price jobs
Overview
What Checkatrade does
Checkatrade lists vetted, reviewed tradespeople across the UK. A trade and a postcode return ranked results carrying star ratings, review counts, Checkatrade badges, contact numbers and profile links.
The second tool goes further than most directory connectors. For common jobs, among them boiler servicing, gas safety checks, heating maintenance and basic plumbing or electrical work, fixed-price Checkatrade Express options can be surfaced and booked end to end, collecting details, gathering time slots, and handing off to secure payment. No account or login is needed, only a valid UK postcode. This connector carries the partner tier.
Tool surface
Two tools answered, matching the listing: findTradespeopleV1 for search and bookExpressJobV1 for booking, a two-call surface covering discovery and transaction.

Where Checkatrade is listed
Checkatrade is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Checkatrade has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Checkatrade publishes 2 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 5.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one sits 10 tools below its bucket's median, 408th of 462.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 2 tools, matching the 2 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.
Tools the server actually returns
bookExpressJobV1findTradespeopleV1
Checkatrade publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

In the publisher's words
How Checkatrade describes it
Checkatrade connects Claude to a UK-wide network of vetted, reviewed tradespeople. Ask for any trade by postcode and Claude returns ranked results with star ratings, review counts, Checkatrade badges, contact numbers, and profile links. For common jobs — boiler servicing, gas safety checks (CP12), heating maintenance, and basic plumbing or electrical work — Claude can also surface fixed-price Checkatrade Express options and guide you through booking one end to end: collecting your details, gathering available time slots, and handing off to secure payment. No account or login required — just a valid UK postcode.
