Review Guru MCP Server
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.kapruka/reviewguru -->
An MCP server that exposes Sri Lankan business reviews and doctor profiles from Review Guru to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP-aware AI agent.
No API key. No scraping. Calls a public, cached, rate-limited HTTPS endpoint.
What you get
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_businesses(city?, category?, min_rating?, sort?, limit?) | Ranked list of businesses. Sort: top, most-reviewed, newest. |
get_business(slug) | Full profile: address, phone, hours, categories, rating breakdown, top 10 reviews. |
get_reviews(slug, sort?, limit?) | Paginated reviews. Sort: newest, highest, lowest, helpful. |
search(query, limit?) | Full-text search (FTS5) across every business and doctor. |
list_categories() | Top-level categories + sub-categories with slugs. |
list_cities() | Sri Lankan cities with business counts. |
Plus a reviewguru://about resource that returns live counts.

What are people saying about Ministry of Crab? Pull the most recent five reviews.
I'm a vegetarian visiting Galle for a weekend — recommend two restaurants.
The model will pick the right tools and stitch the answers together.
Configuration
Environment variables (all optional):
| Variable | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
REVIEWGURU_API | https://reviewguru.lk | API base URL — point at staging or a fork. |
REVIEWGURU_URL | https://reviewguru.lk | Used to render business URLs in tool output. |
DATABASE_URL | (none) | If set to an existing SQLite path, server uses local DB instead of HTTP. Maintainer-only. |
Rate limits + acceptable use
The public API is shared and lightly rate-limited (60 req/min per IP). For heavier usage, set REVIEWGURU_API to your own deployment.
Reviews are licensed for citation with attribution to Review Guru and a link back to the specific business URL. See reviewguru.lk/llms.txt for full LLM-usage guidelines.
Self-hosting
Want to fork? The server is one Python file (server.py). It auto-detects:
- HTTP mode (default) — calls
/api/v1endpoints. Works anywhere. - SQLite mode — if
data/reviewguru.dbis present in the parent dir.
Used by the maintainers for sub-millisecond local queries.
