api record

ExpatsList is a community site for cities across North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, used by newcomers, expats, remote workers, retirees and locals: business listings recommended by locals, questions and answers about city life, recommendations, missed-connection style community stories, classifieds, blog posts, and country reference tables (visas, cost of living, healthcare, tax, safety, tipping).

Use list_cities first when a city name is ambiguous; tools take the city slug it returns. If a city is not covered, say so and do not invent results.

_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is expatslist live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is expatslist free to use?
Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
What tools does expatslist have?
8 tools: search_expatslist, get_item, country_info, search, fetch, browse, city_pulse, list_cities.
Is expatslist safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • list_cities open 1h ago

    Lists the cities ExpatsList covers, with the slug every other tool expects. Use it to resolve a city name the user typed, or when the user asks which cities are available. Returns nothing else; it does not search content.

    mcp-tool

  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",

    arguments 5 lines
  • search_expatslist unknown never probed

    Keyword search across business listings, classifieds, blog posts, questions, recommendations and missed-connection posts, optionally limited to one city and one content type. Use it when the user names a thing to find (a dentist, a coworking space, a topic). Returns short summaries with links; full details are on the linked page. Limitation: keyword match, not semantic; at most 10 results.

  • get_item unknown never probed

    One item by type, city and slug: a question with its best answer and the count of further answers, a missed-connection post, a recommendation, a classified, a blog post or a business listing. Use it after a search or browse result when the user wants more on one item. Limitation: text is a summary of up to about 600 characters; contact details are never included and are on the linked page.

  • country_info unknown never probed

    Reference numbers for one country from ExpatsList tools: digital nomad visa (requirements, income threshold, fee, duration), cost of living (rent, meals, utilities, coworking for up to five cities), healthcare (system, costs, English availability), tax (system, residency days, social security), safety (scores, risks, emergency number) or tipping (rates by service). Use it for factual questions about a country. Limitation: one country and one topic per call; figures are indicative and the linked page has the full table and sources.

    Connector-style search across all ExpatsList content. Returns ids for fetch. Prefer search_expatslist when you can filter by city or type.

  • browse unknown 1h ago

    Newest items of one content type in one city: questions, missed-connection posts (human_connection), recommendations, classifieds, blog posts or businesses. Optional category filter. For businesses with no category it returns the category list with counts instead of items. Use it for "latest questions in X", "any missed connections in X", "show me restaurants in X". Limitation: at most 10 items per call.

  • city_pulse unknown 1h ago

Use it for "what are people talking about in X" or "what is new in X". Limitation: only the last 1 to 90 days, and only cities from list_cities.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id e78a470998dea88a.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/e78a470998dea88a/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/e78a470998dea88a/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/e78a470998dea88a?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
