There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today, robots.txt prohibits crawling without permission, and its terms and privacy policy did not load for our reader.\n\n## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | Urban Company Limited (https://www.urbancompany.com) |\n| Kind | Platform |\n| Category | Home services \u0026 local trades (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/home-services) |\n| Auth | OAuth or key · A customer account on urbancompany.com or in the Urban Company app. Service professionals join through partner.urbancompany.com. No API or partner integration for outside developers was found. |\n| Pricing | Pay per use (Pay per use) · Services are booked in the app or on the website.

The terms and privacy pages returned no policy text to our reader. No account was created. |\n| Outside agent access | None. No API or partner integration for developers was found, and robots.txt disallows /api/*. |\n| Countries | India, UAE, Singapore and Saudi Arabia, per the home page |\n| Company | Urban Company Limited, CIN L74140DL2014PLC274413, formerly UrbanClap Technologies India Limited |\n| Capabilities | home.booking, home.pros |\n| Tags | hosted, official, closed-source, not-for-agents, ios, android |\n| JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/urban-company.json |\n\n## Score breakdown (methodology v0.4, October 2026 research run)\n\nAssessed 2026-10-14 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. \"This run\" is each category's share of the 100 points.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 15 | 3.0 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 0 | 0.0 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 10 | 1.2 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 54 | 4.7 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 5, provenance 58) | 7% | 8.8 | 32 | 2.8 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **11.8 → F** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 15: Read with the hosted lines. No status page found (0). No readable incident history (5). No limits published, and no interface for an outside agent (0). No overload or retry guidance (0). No SLA (0). The service and its apps are generally available, not labelled beta (10).\n- Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. Urban Company has no public API, MCP server or A2A endpoint for an agent, so the contract, description, typed-input, example and versioning lines score nothing (0 of 25, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15, 0 of 15). No llms.txt was found (www.urbancompany.com/llms.txt returns 404) (0). This is a statement about agent access, not about the service for people.\n- Agent ergonomics 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. Urban Company has none, so context cost, pagination, errors, retries and defaults have nothing to score (0 on each line). This says nothing about the service for people.\n- Security \u0026 auth 0: Graded on the interface an outside agent can use. With none for Urban Company, the credential, least-privilege, injection and audit lines score nothing (0 of 30, 0 of 20, 0 of 15, 0 of 15). The security programme line doesn't need an interface and is scored. security.txt returns 404. The partner site links an information security policy statement whose text our reader could not load, and no bug bounty or certification was found (0 of 20).\n- Payments \u0026 pricing 10: Read with the hosted rule. No x402, MPP or L402 (0). No price list found in the pages read (0). The app is free on the App Store, and the work is paid for (10 of 20). A person signs up on the website or in the app (0).\n- Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 54: Read for a closed service. iOS 7.16 on 13 October 2026 (30). 25 releases from 8 June to 13 October 2026 (20). No changelog. A help centre, which we did not test (4 of 15). No MCP server or SDK (0). No package or CI to judge (0).\n- Transparency \u0026 trust 32: Closed service. The partner site names Urban Company Limited and its CIN, but the terms could not be read, so licence clarity is scored low (5 of 30). The privacy policy could not be read (0 of 30, unchecked). No deprecation policy found (0 of 20). No subprocessors or data locations found (0 of 20).\n\nFix list for a coding agent, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (15 items): https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/urban-company.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/urban-company.json)\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: the terms and conditions, which returned no text to our reader\n- unchecked: the privacy policy and information security statement, for the same reason\n- Whether any business integration exists\n\n### Sources\n\n- home page: \u003chttps://www.urbancompany.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- robots.txt: \u003chttps://www.urbancompany.com/robots.txt\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- partner site: \u003chttps://partner.urbancompany.com\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- terms page (no text received): \u003chttps://www.urbancompany.com/terms\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- privacy page (no text received): \u003chttps://www.urbancompany.com/privacy-policy\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n- App Store, Urban Company: \u003chttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1032480595\u003e (seen 2026-10-14)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 58/100, checked 2026-10-14)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | Urban Company Limited | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | urbancompany.com, registered 2004-05-22 (22 years) | 15/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | no hosted endpoint | n/a |\n| Terms of service | published, but our reader couldn't read it | 7/10 |\n| Privacy policy | published, but our reader couldn't read it | 7/10 |\n| Status page | not found | 0/10 |\n| Changelog | not found | 0/10 |\n| security.txt | not found | 0/10 |\n\nThe terms, privacy policy and information security statement pages load their text in the browser, and neither curl nor our reader received it, so their contents and dates are unchecked.\n\nrobots.txt states that crawling is prohibited without express written permission and disallows /api/*. The pages read are not disallowed.\n\nwww.urbancompany.com/.well-known/security.txt returns 404. No status page was found.\n\nRDAP gives a registration date of 2004-05-22 for urbancompany.com.\n\n### Terms and privacy, as read\n\nA reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service** (https://www.urbancompany.com/terms), read 2026-10-14. Our reader couldn't read it (the page has 20 words of text without a browser, so the document is drawn by script or sits elsewhere).\n\n\n**Privacy policy** (https://www.urbancompany.com/privacy-policy), read 2026-10-14. Our reader couldn't read it (the page has 20 words of text without a browser, so the document is drawn by script or sits elsewhere).\n\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- 25 iOS releases between 8 June and 13 October 2026\n- Services in four countries, per the home page\n- Legal entity and company number published on the partner site\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- No public API or MCP server an outside agent can call\n- robots.txt prohibits crawling without express written permission\n- Terms and privacy policy render only in a browser and could not be checked\n- No status page or security.txt found\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\n\n1. Don't plan to call Urban Company from another agent. Hand the booking to the person in the Urban Company app or on urbancompany.com\n2. Don't fetch /api/ paths. robots.txt disallows them and prohibits crawling without permission\n\n## Similar tools\n\nRanked by shared capabilities, then score. Same-category tools with no shared capability key are listed last.\n\n| Tool | Grade | Score | Rank | Shared capabilities | x402 | Markdown |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Checkatrade | E | 43.9 | 946 | home.pros, home.booking | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/checkatrade.md |\n| Airtasker | F | 36.8 | 1007 | home.booking, home.pros | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/airtasker.md |\n| Angi (including HomeAdvisor, now Angi Leads) | F | 12.7 | 1061 | home.pros, home.booking | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/angi.md |\n| Handy | F | 10 | 1069 | home.booking, home.pros | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/handy.md |\n| Taskrabbit Partner API | E | 44.3 | 942 | home.booking | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/taskrabbit.md |\n| Bark | F | 16.5 | 1048 | home.pros | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/bark.md |\n\n## Panel reviews (0)\n\nReviewed by the Anchor panel (https://www.anchorterminal.com/reviewers/index.md): .\n\nDesk reviews, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026.

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on urbancompany.com or one of its subdomains. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{\"slug\": \"urban-company\", \"url\": \"…\"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp.
