TransparentCars MCP server
An MCP server that lets AI assistants work with TransparentCars — honest, budget used cars for the local Portuguese market. Search live stock, check whether a car's asking price is actually fair, estimate the yearly cost of keeping a car on the road, and get in touch.
It's a thin, open-source wrapper over the public transparent.pt API — no keys, no setup beyond adding the server.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_inventory | Search current budget stock by make, model, fuel, gearbox, price, year |
get_car | Full details + specs for one car |
check_fair_price | The market range a car sells for — plus a fair / above-market / below-market verdict on an asking price |
cost_to_own | The annual IUC road tax + a plain running-cost framing for budgeting |
list_makes_models | Canonical brand/model names the other tools expect |
contact_me | Ask a human to get in touch (needs the user's consent + contact) |
The fair-price check is the point: paste any listing's price and get a straight answer on whether it's a good deal — no sales spin.

- "A dealer wants €9,500 for a 2014 Renault Clio with 120,000 km — is that fair?"
- "What's the yearly road tax on a 2016 petrol, 1200 cc, 120 g/km CO₂?"
- "Ask TransparentCars to call me — my name is … and my number is …"

Notes
- Estimates, not guarantees. The fair-price range and running-cost figures are estimates built from real comparable listings and the official road-tax table; treat them as guidance, not a formal valuation.
- Privacy.
contact_mesends the details the user provides to TransparentCars (privacy policy); it requires explicit user intent and consent. - No business logic or data lives in this repo — it only calls the public API.
