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.\n\n**Taskrabbit Partner API.** The Partner API covers the whole booking flow (estimate, availability, bid, book, reschedule, cancel) with OpenAPI 3.1 fragments on every reference page, llms.txt, a sandbox and signed webhooks. Access is the limit. Keys come from a partnership manager, prices are negotiated, no rate limits or SLA are published, and the docs still call the home services API coming soon.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Rated People\n\n1. Don't plan to call Rated People from another agent. Hand the job post to the person, or use the Checkatrade listing's MCP server to find Checkatrade Group trades\n2. Tell the person that posting a job is free and that tradespeople will contact them to quote\n\n### Taskrabbit Partner API\n\n1. Ask the partnership manager for the partner subdomain, token URL and brand_uuid before the first call. Base URLs are https://\u003csubdomain\u003e.partner-platform.taskrabbit.com/2025-12\n2. Call bid before book. A bid holds the price and time window for a few minutes only\n3. Send client_accepted_taskrabbit_policy only after the customer has agreed to Taskrabbit's terms, because booking requires it\n4. Regenerate OAuth client-credentials tokens on a schedule. The docs say they expire frequently\n5. Verify the Svix signature on every webhook and make the handler idempotent, as the docs ask\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Rated People or Taskrabbit Partner API?\n\nTaskrabbit Partner API scores 44.3 (E) on agent readiness against Rated People's 15.9 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
