Verdicts
Angi (including HomeAdvisor, now Angi Leads)
Angi is a large US marketplace for hiring local tradespeople, and its legal centre publishes dated, versioned terms and a privacy policy that discloses AI-handled calls. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. The only integration sends leads to tradespeople's CRMs after Angi sets it up, and the terms forbid automated access.
Rated People
Rated People lets UK homeowners post a job free and hear from tradespeople, and since September 2026 it belongs to Checkatrade Group. There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. Checkatrade's keyless MCP server is the nearest route, since Rated People jobs go to Checkatrade Group tradespeople.
