CarDossier Poland Market API — MCP Server
mcp-name: io.github.Joyall-au/cardossier-market-api
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants — Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent — real-time access to Polish used car market data via the CarDossier Market API.
What It Does
This server exposes 5 tools that AI agents can call to answer questions like:
- "What is a 2019 Toyota Corolla worth in Poland right now?"
- "Has the price of diesel BMWs been rising or falling over the past 6 months?"
- "How quickly do used Volkswagen Golfs sell in Poland?"
- "Is a 2020 Audi A4 cheaper in Mazowieckie or Śląskie?"
- "How much more does an automatic gearbox add to the price of a 2018 Ford Focus?"
