Who it is for
Homeowners who need a local contractor for a specific job around the house.
Thumbtack
Match home projects with local service professionals
Overview
What Thumbtack does
Thumbtack is a marketplace for home services, and this app connects a description of a project to providers working nearby. Repairs, maintenance, and upgrades are all in scope, with plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and landscapers named among the trades covered.
The matching step happens in the conversation, so a question about how to handle a job can turn into a shortlist of people who do that work without moving to a separate site. The example prompt in the listing is a plain request for a plumber.
What follows a match, quoting, scheduling, and payment, is not described in the record.
What stands out
A general question about a repair turns into named local providers within the same exchange.

Where Thumbtack is listed
Thumbtack ships this on both marketplaces: Thumbtack is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Thumbtack publishes 4 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 17.2% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one sits 8 tools below its bucket's median, 357th of 462.
It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory.
Thumbtack 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.

Thumbtack carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Thumbtack describes it
Thumbtack is integrated into Claude to help you take action on home projects. Ask questions about repairs, maintenance, or improvements and get matched with local pros. From leaky faucets to landscape design, we've got pros for every home project. Browse recommendations and connect with the right pro, making it easier to go from project planning to hiring without leaving the conversation.
