Open ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Turn on web search if it asks. Then ask:
Find a dentist in Pune on foundaree.com
Find a React developer in Bengaluru on foundaree.com
Find an electrician in Kochi who is free today on foundaree.com
Who is open to co-founding a startup on foundaree.com?
They read Foundaree's public pages, the way Google does. Only public profiles show up.
If it says it can't find Foundaree, paste a link for it to read, like https://foundaree.com/search?q=dentist+in+Pune. Foundaree is new, and web search takes a few weeks to pick up a new site.
What you get
Real profiles
Name, skills and city, as people wrote them.
Who is free
People say when they are free and keep it up to date.
Every kind of work
Doctors, developers, drivers, designers, electricians and accountants in one search.
Connect Foundaree (optional)
For searching inside the chat, with profile cards. One link works in every assistant that takes a custom connector. In Claude it takes a minute; in ChatGPT it needs Developer mode until Foundaree is in ChatGPT's app directory.
Same link, different menu. Foundaree is a standard MCP server, so anything that takes a custom connector can use it — no app store, no waiting for us.

Which plans allow custom connectors is each app's own rule, and it changes. If yours isn't listed, look for “MCP” or “custom connector” in its settings.
Only public profiles show up.
Let it do the whole job
You don't have to pick a person. Say what you need, and Foundaree finds the right people, asks the best one or two, and tells you who was asked.
Sort out an electrician in Kochi for Saturday morning. I'm Deepa, +91 98470 12345.
1Foundaree searches, with people who are free now first.
2It sends a booking request to the best one or two, with your name and number.
3Your assistant tells you who was asked. Whoever can take it calls you.
Later, ask:
Did anyone get back to me?
Nothing is confirmed until someone calls you. Your number goes only to the people asked.
Sign in, so it can act for you
Searching needs no account. Connect your Foundaree account once, and your assistant can also:
See who wants to book you, and accept or decline for you
See who wants to connect, and answer them
Mark you free for work, or not, when you say so
Your assistant offers to connect when it needs to. A Foundaree page opens, you check what it will be allowed to do, and tap Allow. That's it.
It never sees your password. It gets a key, not the keys to the house.
Free text: a skill, role, profession or name. A plain sentence works too.
workType
local_service for trades, repairs, driving and care. professional for office work.
location
A city or country, matched against where the person says they are.
availability
One of available, open_to_offers, not_looking or unspecified.
skills
Comma-separated list. A profile must list every skill given.
lookingFor
Comma-separated list of what the person wants, such as freelance or remote. All must match.
limit
Results per page, 1 to 50. Defaults to 20.
offset
Number of results to skip when paging. Defaults to 0.
At least one filter is required. Results include public profiles only.
MCP server
Model Context Protocol, for assistants that support it. Fourteen tools. Seven need no sign-in: search_people takes the same filters as the JSON API, match_people ranks people against a list of skills, get_person returns one full profile by username, search_organizations finds companies, search_opportunities finds jobs and other openings, create_profile_draft starts a profile for someone who asks to join, and request_appointment sends a booking request to a person, who calls the user back.
Five more work only once the user has connected their Foundaree account, and act as them: my_bookings and respond_to_booking for the requests they have been sent, my_connection_requests and respond_to_connection for people waiting to connect, and set_my_availability for whether they are free for work. Without a token they refuse and say so.
And two that take the whole errand: find_and_ask searches, ranks, asks the best one to three people and reports who was asked, so the assistant never has to pick a person itself; check_errand says later who accepted. No account needed.
