There is no public API or MCP server that acts for a household.

There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. houzz.com/api asks for a token with no public documentation, and the terms forbid robots, scraping and AI training on its content.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Bark\n\n1. Don't plan to call Bark for a household. Hand the request to the person on bark.com or the app\n2. For a professional's own leads, use the Bark app on Zapier, and ask before any Purchase Bark step, which spends credits\n3. Tell a professional that credits expire 3 months after purchase\n\n### Houzz\n\n1. Don't plan to call Houzz from another agent. Hand the search or contact to the person on houzz.com or in the Houzz app\n2. Don't fetch /proMatch/ or review-writing paths. robots.txt disallows them for Claude agents\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Bark or Houzz?\n\nBark scores 16.5 (F) on agent readiness against Houzz's 13.1 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bark-vs-houzz.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bark-vs-houzz.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"bark\", \"b\": \"houzz\"}`.
