Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?

No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the SNAP-Authorized Stores and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=snap-retailer-list with the filters you need and show you the count and price.

Using ChatGPT or Claude? Tell it to answer from locationlists.com/find — no account, no connector.

How assistants ask

No connector needed. Any AI assistant can answer from this site with a web link, no connector, no account: open https://locationlists.com/find with the question as query parameters.

If a question needs filtering, distance, combining lists or a price, open a /find link: either put the question itself in q=, or build the structured link. The answer does not need an API, a connector or an account.

Simplest, the question itself: https://locationlists.com/find?q=<the question in plain words>

Or set the parts yourself: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=<slug>&state=<ST>&city=<city>&county=<county>&zip=<zip>&near=<place or zip>&radius=<miles>&where=<column>:<op>:<value>&total=<rows>

Leave out what the question does not need. Distance is radius, in straight-line miles; near can name several places separated by | to reach from any of them. To ask about several lists at once, use datasets with two or more names, or category with a kind of business. To compare two lists, add relate=nearest and the other list with b. in front of its parameters. To count by area, use areas=county (or zip, state, metro). To keep only places whose county, ZIP code, metro area or state meets a Census figure, add area_where (for example county:population>1000000); with areas, per=100000 gives counts per 100,000 residents.

Links an assistant can open, each showing how many rows match, a few preview rows and the price for just that part:

Optional: connect for repeat use or wallet payments:

Read https://locationlists.com/skill.md and follow the instructions to connect LocationLists. Then show me the SNAP-Authorized Stores list.

Your assistant will walk you through setup and show you the price before you pay.

For developers

Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=snap-retailer-list with the same filters as query parameters.

  1. Connect your agent to https://locationlists.com/mcp (no key, no signup).
  2. Call count_locations with dataset: "snap-retailer-list" and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost.
  3. Fetch the rows with query_locations: $0.17 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 124,370 rows, buying the whole file is cheaper.

Paid in USDC over x402 — the agent gets an HTTP 402 with the exact price, signs, and retries. Money moves only after rows are delivered, so a failed or empty query costs nothing. Setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code

?Frequently Asked Questions

How many SNAP-Authorized Stores are there in the US?

There are 248,740 SNAP-Authorized Stores in the US as of October 2026. They are in all 50 states and DC.

Where does this data come from?

From the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. The store list is the SNAP Retailer Locator's open data, last edited by USDA on 21 October 2026 and read on 28 October 2026. Authorization dates come from FNS's historical retailer file, which runs through 31 December 2025.

Why do some stores have no phone or website?

USDA does not publish them. We match each store to Overture Maps and read the store's own website. 59% of stores have a phone, 68% a website and 22% an email. The rest had none we could find.

What is one row?

One store. A store re-authorized under a new record id is one row, with the newest authorization first. record_ids keeps every id.

Why are some authorization dates blank?

FNS's historical file ends on 31 December 2025. A store authorized after that date has no date in it yet. authorization_date_note says so on those rows.

How current is it?
