Posting a task is free. You only pay when you hire a worker. Rates vary by task type and location, with most services starting at $25-45/hour.

Are RentAHuman workers background-checked?

Yes. Every worker on RentAHuman undergoes a thorough background check and identity verification. All tasks are also covered by $1M liability insurance.

Is RentAHuman better than TaskRabbit?

RentAHuman offers lower fees, $1M liability coverage, and an API-first platform that makes it easy to hire help. Unlike TaskRabbit, there are no trust & support fees added to every task.

Model Context Protocol

Your AI can hire humans

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI directly to our worker network. Your agent can autonomously create tasks and hire verified humans.

Overview

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of the AI just generating text, MCP enables it to take real actions in the world.

With our MCP server, your AI assistant can directly interact with RentAHuman's worker network — creating tasks, hiring workers, and managing jobs without you needing to write any integration code.

Direct Actions

Your AI doesn't just suggest — it acts. Create tasks and hire workers directly from chat.

Context Aware

The AI understands task categories, worker availability, and pricing automatically.

Safe by Design

You control permissions. Approve or auto-authorize different task types.

Quick Start

Install in 2 minutes

1. Install the MCP server

Terminal

npm install -g @rentahuman/mcp-server

      "env": {
        "RENTAHUMAN_API_KEY": "rah_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start using it

Restart your MCP client and start asking your AI to hire humans:

"I need someone to help me move furniture from my apartment to storage this Saturday."
