# list_services

> MCP tool listing services under a StackQL provider

Source: https://stackql.io/mcp/list_services

Returns the services exposed by a single provider -- the second level of the StackQL [resource hierarchy](/getting-started/resource-hierarchy).  Call this after [`list_providers`](/mcp/list_providers) to narrow the surface area before drilling into resources.
