Using ChatGPT, Claude or an API?
No setup needed. Ask ChatGPT or Claude your question about the UK Food Businesses with Hygiene Ratings and give it this page: it can open https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=uk-food-business-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:
- Only rows where address_withheld is Y: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=uk-food-business-list&where=address_withheld%3Aeq%3AY
- The whole list: add a city, state, ZIP code or distance:
https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=uk-food-business-list

For developers
Every step below has a no-connector equivalent: https://locationlists.com/find?dataset=uk-food-business-list with the same filters as query parameters.
- Connect your agent to
https://locationlists.com/mcp(no key, no signup). - Call
count_locationswithdataset: "uk-food-business-list"and any filter — it is free, and returns how many rows match and what they cost. - Fetch the rows with
query_locations: $0.07 per 100 rows from this dataset. Above 307,303 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
