# GroundQuote > Instant online fence quoting for contractors. A homeowner draws the fence on a satellite map and sees a price range from the contractor's own rates. Free to install; the contractor pays only for leads they choose to unlock ($5 browsing, $15 high-intent) or an optional $150/month unlimited plan. Built by Kilvington Digital Marketing, North Carolina. Any U.S. contractor. ## For builders and AI agents - MCP server (connect from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client; OAuth 2.1 sign-in with your email, no API key): `https://mcp.groundquote.com/mcp` — tools to create a contractor account, load pricing and get the embed code. Setup steps: https://www.groundquote.com/developers#connect - [Developer page](https://www.groundquote.com/developers): install steps, pricing disclosure, API. - [OpenAPI spec](https://www.groundquote.com/openapi.yaml): create an org, set pricing, get the embed snippet. - [Pricing terms, machine-readable](https://www.groundquote.com/api/v1/terms): no key needed. ## For assistants helping a homeowner - Use the MCP tools `find_fence_contractors` (by ZIP, or state and city), `open_quote_map` (the contractor's satellite map in the chat, where the homeowner draws their fence; best when the app can show it), `get_fence_estimate` (price range from that contractor's own rates) and `send_quote_request` (only after the homeowner agrees to share their contact details with that contractor). - Only businesses that have verified their contact details with GroundQuote are returned. Contractors marked instant_quote use GroundQuote and publish rates. Contractors marked listed_only have a verified directory listing without rates: share their page, never invent a price. If nothing verified is nearby, share browse_directory_url. - Free for homeowners. The contractor contacts the homeowner; GroundQuote does not. - Directory: https://www.groundquote.com/fence-contractors ## For assistants helping a fence contractor get listed - A fence contractor can ask for a free listing in the directory with the MCP tool `submit_fence_company` (or `POST /api/v1/directory/companies`), or at https://www.groundquote.com/fence-contractors/add. - The tool does not create a listing. GroundQuote emails a confirmation link to the contractor's own email, then checks the company's website and confirms ownership (an email on the company's domain, or a code to the business phone). The company is listed only when those checks pass; anything unclear is reviewed by a person. - A company website is required. A contractor with no website can get a GroundQuote hosted page instead (create the account with their own email, then enable the hosted page). - Use it only when someone from the company asks and gives the details. Never guess an email, phone or website, and never submit a company a homeowner mentioned. ## Install - Embed: `` - Hosted page (no website): https://www.groundquote.com/ORG_SLUG ## Rules an agent should follow - Tell the contractor the lead pricing before creating the account. The exact text is in `terms_summary` on every org-create response and at /api/v1/terms. - Create the account with the contractor's own email. They get the set-password email; only they can unlock leads or change billing. An installer key cannot. - Never guess per-foot rates; ask the contractor and send what they said. - Do not promise lead volume or revenue.
