Autoza Launches MCP Server: Query the Irish Used Car Market from Any AI

What Is the Autoza MCP Server?

The Autoza MCP Server is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any AI assistant — Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Cursor, Cline, and others — direct, structured access to the Irish used-car market through five purpose-built tools.

MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic that lets AI agents call real data sources as if they were native capabilities. Instead of an AI guessing about Irish car prices, it can now query live Autoza data and return a grounded, accurate answer.

Install once. Works in any MCP-compatible client. No API key. No authentication. Free.

The Five Tools

• search_listings — Search the live Autoza.ie inventory by make, model, fuel type, price range, mileage, county, body type, year, and transmission. Returns structured listing data including price, mileage, NCT status, and dealer details.
• get_market_stats — Get live Irish used-car market aggregates: total listings, average prices by make, county breakdowns, fuel-type shares. Updated hourly.
• get_model_guide — Retrieve the full Autoza common-faults guide for a specific model — covering known issues, best and worst years, Irish running costs, and pre-purchase inspection tips. Currently 16 models covered.
• get_research_pulse — Access Autoza's proprietary quarterly Irish Used Car Index data — market trends, price movements, and segment analysis.
• find_dealers — Search verified Irish dealers by county, name, or make. Returns Trust Scores, contact details, and current stock counts.

How to Install

The fastest way is via npx — no installation required:

npx -y @autoza/mcp-server

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoza": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@autoza/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Cline / Continue

Each MCP-compatible IDE has a server configuration panel. Add the same npx command. Full install snippets for each client are on the Autoza MCP documentation page.

Claude Code

claude mcp add autoza npx -y @autoza/mcp-server

Example Queries You Can Ask Any AI

Once the server is installed, you can ask questions like:

• "Find me a diesel Toyota RAV4 in Leinster under €30,000 with under 80,000 km"
• "What are the most common faults on a Volkswagen Tiguan Mk2 bought in Ireland?"
• "What is the average price of a used BMW 5 Series in Ireland right now?"
• "Which counties in Ireland have the most used cars listed for sale?"
• "Find me verified dealers in Cork selling Hyundai vehicles"

The AI uses the tools, retrieves live data, and gives you a grounded answer — not a hallucinated one.

Why We Built This

Autoza is built around a long-term thesis: vehicle commerce will become agent-to-agent. A buyer's AI agent will query marketplaces, evaluate inventory, assess vehicle history, contact seller AI agents, negotiate terms, and close deals — autonomously.

Today, we are in the early innings of that future. The MCP Server is our first step: making Autoza's data natively accessible to AI systems in a structured, trustworthy way.

The server is open-source (MIT licence), listed on the official MCP Registry, and published on npm as @autoza/mcp-server.

For Developers

The source code is on GitHub. Contributions, issues, and feature requests are welcome. If you build something with the Autoza MCP Server — a car-shopping agent, an AI price advisor, a dealer CRM integration — we would love to hear about it.
