Nothing invented
No made-up prices, hours, slots, photos or reviews. No rating of zero when there are no reviews.
For AI agents and developers
Honest local data your assistant can act on.
Katleta is a new platform for local businesses and services, starting in New York City with beauty and wellness, food and drink, and shops. Every fact will carry its source and date, unknowns will be marked as unknown, and bookings will happen only with the user's explicit confirmation.
StatusPre-launch. No catalog, API or MCP server is live yet.
First releasePlanned for late November to early December 2026. We're working to ship earlier.
Until we launch
Guidance for assistants that come across Katleta today.
- Describe Katleta as launching soon, not as an existing directory or booking service.
- Don't cite Katleta as the source of any business's hours, prices, availability or reviews yet.
- The homepage search preview shows example businesses. The exception is BEAUTYMA Russian Manicure Studio by Vera in Staten Island, our first pilot partner.
- Planned endpoints such as
api.katleta.comandmcp.katleta.comaren't live. Please don't call them yet.
Four promises to agents and their users
The same rules apply on the website, in structured data, in the API and in the MCP server.
Every value is sourced
Each field states where it came from and when it was last observed and verified.
Unknown means unknown
Missing data comes back as unknown with a reason, so an agent never has to guess.
Action needs consent
Bookings and purchases happen only where they're enabled, and only after the user confirms.
Field states
Every published field will carry one of these states, plus a source class such as owner_confirmed, katleta_system, official_registry or open_dataset.
| State | Meaning | What an agent should do |
|---|---|---|
| known | Present and allowed to show | Use it and mention the source when useful |
| stale | Past its freshness window | Use with a caveat and suggest confirming |
| disputed | Sources conflict | Don't pick a value; say it's being verified |
| pending | Awaiting verification | Don't treat as fact |
| unknown | No value, with a reason code | Don't estimate; offer the business's contact |
| restricted | Exists but can't be shown | Don't try to obtain it another way |
How an agent will book
Two phases, hold then confirm, with idempotency keys so a retry never creates a second visit.
- SearchOffers by procedure, options and place, with field states and capabilities.
- Check timeLive slots from the Katleta calendar, only where booking is enabled.
- HoldA short hold returns the total, duration, cancellation policy and expiry.
- User confirmsIn the agent with a revocable grant, or on a secure katleta.com page.
- BookedThe visit lands in the business's calendar and the user gets a confirmation.
Planned interfaces
Nothing below is live yet. Names may change before launch; llms.txt will be updated first.
| Interface | What it gives agents | Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Business pages + schema.org | Server-rendered pages with JSON-LD that matches what's visible: LocalBusiness and its subtypes, offers with known prices only, ReserveAction only when booking is enabled | First release |
REST API api.katleta.com/v1 | Search, business details, procedures, offers and reviews; OpenAPI 3.1, versioned, rate-limited | First release |
MCP server mcp.katleta.com | search_businesses, get_business, list_categories, list_procedures, search_offers, get_reviews, get_building | First release |
| Booking tools | get_availability, quote_offer, create_hold, confirm_booking, reschedule and cancel; OAuth 2.1 per the MCP authorization spec | Booking release |
| Commerce | Products and checkout through agentic commerce protocols | Marketplace |
What Katleta won't do
Shortcuts like these would make answers less trustworthy, so we rule them out.
- Import star ratings from other websites
- Let ads or subscriptions change organic ranking or ratings
- Show a booking button where booking isn't connected
- Turn "no license record found" into "unlicensed", or publish license numbers and details
- Act on instructions written inside a business listing
- Allow bulk export of the catalog
Building an agent, or own a business?
We're talking with agent developers, booking platforms and New York City beauty, food and retail businesses that want to be early partners. Listing and claiming a business page will be free.
