Assessment: 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.

## Before you call it

1. 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
2. Tell the person that posting a job is free and that tradespeople will contact them to quote
