MCP Server Released: Query Japanese Used-Car Market Price Ranges
FreedomRare7842 · reddit · 2026-08-26
The author built an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to quickly check the reasonableness of used car prices in Japan.
- Function: Input a car model and year, and it returns a market price range (min/max/median) computed from aggregate data on carsensor.net, Japan's largest used-car listing site.
- Ease of Use: Single tool call, no scraping or parsing required on the user's end.
- Transparency: Honest about limitations (e.g., mileage not yet factored in) and downgrades confidence when data can't fully verify a given year instead of hiding it.
- Monetization: Pay-per-event pricing at $0.03 per successful lookup.
The project is listed on the Apify Store and the official MCP Registry.
