What is WRDO?
WRDO connects AI assistants to local business information in the Western Cape, South Africa, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
With WRDO, compatible AI assistants can discover local businesses, browse public business profiles, retrieve menus and price lists, and generate links that let people start quote, booking or order requests through WRDO.

What can you do with WRDO?
Ask your AI assistant in ordinary language.
Find a local business
Find a hairdresser in Cape Town.
Explore restaurants and prices
Which restaurants in Stellenbosch have a menu item under R100?
Look up a menu item
What's on the menu at Breezy's, and how much is the garlic and cheese pita?
Start a request
Find a hairdresser in Wellington and help me start a request for Saturday morning.
Your assistant can select the appropriate WRDO tool based on your request.
Available tools
WRDO exposes six MCP tools.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_local_businesses | Search by service, business name, town or suburb. Results can be filtered by category, whether a price list is available, maximum price in rand and whether the business is open now. |
list_categories | Browse the types of businesses listed on WRDO, including category counts for a location or the wider directory. |
get_business | Retrieve a public business profile, including its category, area and verification status. Verified profiles may include a description, address, opening hours, website and menu link. |
get_price_list | Retrieve a business's menu or price list, including item names, descriptions and prices in South African rand. Website-sourced prices may be unconfirmed. |
list_areas | List the areas WRDO covers, so a town or suburb name can be checked before searching. |
start_request | Generate a link for a person to start a quote, booking or order request through WRDO. The person continues the process in WRDO. |
Important limitations
- Business information and prices may change. Confirm important details with the business.
- Website-sourced prices may not have been confirmed by the business.
- A request link is not a confirmed booking, order or quote.
- The MCP server does not itself complete bookings or process payments.
