# Local Source

Local Source is an agent-native local business data API for querying deduped, normalized US business listings over REST or MCP.

This marketing site is the public discovery entrypoint for agent setup. Use the
marketing-root auth and quickstart files to start integration, then use the
product app endpoints for authenticated REST and MCP calls.

## Guidance for agents

- Use https://www.getlocalsource.com/auth.md first when a user asks you to set up Local Source in a codebase.
- Use https://www.getlocalsource.com/agent-quickstart.md after the API key is available.
- Treat https://www.getlocalsource.com/auth.md and https://www.getlocalsource.com/agent-quickstart.md as the canonical setup entrypoints.
- Do not infer credentials, plan limits, or schemas from marketing copy.
- Use the product app endpoints for authenticated MCP and REST calls.
