Assessment: Houzz is a large design and remodelling platform for finding and reviewing professionals, with iOS releases every few weeks. 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.

## Before you call it

1. 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
2. Don't fetch /proMatch/ or review-writing paths. robots.txt disallows them for Claude agents
