What it does
An MCP server lets an AI assistant use another product's data and actions through the Model Context Protocol. Reach's server gives the assistant your Google Business Profile as Reach sees it: the listing, its reviews, how it performs, where it ranks, who ranks nearby, and the leads it brings in.
It is built for owner-run businesses with one to five locations, such as clinics, salons, cafes and gyms, and for the staff and agencies who manage them. You ask in plain language and the assistant picks the tools.
Example: a salon owner on Monday morning
An illustrative conversation. The tool names are the real ones the assistant calls.

What it can read and change
14 tools. Read tools never change anything. Tools that change your public Google profile always show you the change first.
| Tool | Changes Google | Uses from your plan |

| get_account Your plan, locations, Google connection state and which Reach features you have. | No | Nothing |
| get_listing One listing's profile, reviews, posts and photos. | No | Nothing |
| get_visibility Search rankings for tracked keywords, nearby competitors and the local search grid. | No | Nothing |
| get_performance Profile views, customer actions and search terms for a date range your plan covers. | No | Nothing |
| get_customers Leads and booking requests from your Reach pages, with phone numbers masked. | No | Nothing |
| get_recommendations What your profile is missing, and which items the assistant can fix for you. | No | Nothing |

Inputs, approvals and limits for every tool
What happens before a change
Every tool that changes your public profile goes through the same four steps.
- The assistant prepares the change and shows it to you: a preview of profile edits and photos, or the exact words of a post or review reply.
- Nothing happens until you say yes in the chat.
- Tools that change Google are marked as destructive, so assistants that support approval prompts also ask you to approve the call itself.
- Reach checks again that the assistant has not been blocked and that the business is within 20 Google changes per hour, then makes the change.
When a limit is reached, the tool tells the assistant how many seconds to wait. It does not queue or retry the change.
[!note] Note Important
Some changes are permanent. Reach has no tool that deletes a Google post or restores a deleted photo, and a review reply can be replaced but not removed.
What it cannot do
- Without Google connected in Reach, the assistant sees your public listing only, and each result says which data is hidden and why.
- It cannot unlock features outside your plan. It tells you which plan includes them and stops.
- It does not run on your computer. Reach hosts the server; there is nothing to self-host.
- It cannot promise rankings. Google ranks local results by relevance, distance and prominence. Google: how local ranking works

How to choose a Google Business Profile MCP server
Servers for Google Business Profile differ in what they can do and how they keep your profile safe. These are the questions worth asking of any of them, with Reach's answers.
| Question | Reach |
|---|---|
| Can it change the profile, or only read it? | Both. It reads everything above and, after your approval, changes profile details, photos, posts and review replies. |
| How is a change approved? | A preview or the exact text in chat, your yes, your assistant's approval prompt, then a limit of 20 Google changes per hour per business. |
| Does it track local rankings? | Yes: rankings for tracked keywords, nearby competitors and the local search grid. |
| Do you have to run it yourself? | No. Reach hosts it; you paste one URL. |
| How does sign-in work? | OAuth 2.1 with your Reach account. No API key and no Google Cloud project. |
| What does it cost? | Free for 1 location; paid plans start at $10 a month. |
