REST API docs: https://api.lots.business/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lots.business/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Keep your business record up to date: contact details, opening hours, services, photos, links and FAQs.
- Build and edit your website, and share a private preview before anything goes live.
- Prepare your Google Business Profile for your approval and post updates, offers and events to it.
- Show which local directories fit your business and give you the same listing details, worded the same way, for each one.
- Read messages from your website contact form, reply to reviews and answer questions on your listing.
- For agencies: run every client business from one workspace and send clients an approval link.

The LotsBusiness dashboard does everything an agent does, so you can check, edit or undo any change. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## You need

- Manus with custom MCP connectors available
- A LotsBusiness API key or an available OAuth connection
- A LotsBusiness account. You can create one during sign-in.

## Connect Manus to LotsBusiness

1. **Add a custom server.** Open Settings → Integrations → Custom MCP Servers → Add Server. Name it LotsBusiness and enter this URL.

```
https://api.lots.business/mcp
```

2. **Authenticate.** Use OAuth sign-in if offered. For a Bearer-token connection, create a LotsBusiness API key at https://www.lotstech.com/api and add it in the connector’s credential field.

```
Authorization: Bearer <your API key>
```

3. **Check the tools.** Ask your agent “List my businesses on LotsBusiness and what each one still needs” before asking it to change anything.

## What to ask next

- “Build a website for my salon from our listing and send me the preview”
- “Post this weekend’s offer to our Google Business Profile”
- “Which local directories should my plumbing business be on, and what do I submit?”
- “Update our opening hours for the holiday weekend”

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect Manus to LotsBusiness?

Follow the Manus setup above to add https://api.lots.business/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my businesses on LotsBusiness and what each one still needs”.

### Do I choose LotsBusiness from Manus’s official connector list?

The route here is a custom MCP server. Add LotsBusiness as a custom server in Manus’s integration settings and authenticate with your LotsBusiness account or API key.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsBusiness with Manus?

Only if the connector asks for one. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where Manus offers sign-in, use that instead.

### What does LotsBusiness cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lots.business/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Does my agent publish my website or post to Google without asking?

Your agent shares a private preview before a website is published and shows you the text before a Google post. You can check or undo any change in the dashboard.

### Does my agent submit my business to other directories?

No. It lists the directories that fit your business and country and gives you the exact details to enter, worded the same for each. You or your agency submit, and your agent tracks each one.

### Do I need a paid business to use an agent?

Every business starts with a free directory listing. A paid business also unlocks its website, Google Business Profile tools, directory list and business email. See the pricing page for details.

### LotsBusiness tools are not available

Check that LotsBusiness is enabled for this session and authentication has completed. Reload the connection or start a new session to refresh its tools.
