Evlek MCP Server

AI-native property discovery for North Cyprus (KKTC). Built on the Model Context Protocol — works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

The Evlek MCP server gives AI agents structured, real-time access to North Cyprus property data — search active listings, compare cities and districts, track the price index, and estimate rental yield. All data is sourced live from evlek.app. Title-deed (koçan) and legal-procedure tools are deliberately not part of the surface: that taxonomy has not passed an independent KKTC legal audit.

Why Evlek MCP

AI-first. Built for agentic workflows from day one — not retrofitted on a legacy listing API.
Multilingual. Property data in TR, EN, RU, DE, AR (currently exposed via tool descriptions in EN).
Verification-aware listings. Evlek surfaces listing and account verification context where available, and the MCP omits contact fields to preserve Evlek's reveal/contact funnel.
Built for the region. Optimized for the 6 cities of North Cyprus (Lefkoşa, Girne, Gazimağusa, İskele, Güzelyurt, Lefke) and 100+ districts.
Production-grade. OWASP MCP Top 10 aligned — Zod input validation, output sanitization, rate limiting (60/min/IP, 500/min global), Sentry observability.

Quick start

Remote-capable clients (preferred)

Most modern MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) connect directly to the Streamable HTTP endpoint — no local bridge needed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evlek": {
      "url": "https://evlek.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (connector + Deep Research)

Add https://evlek.app/api/mcp as a custom connector. Evlek exposes OpenAI-compatible search and fetch tools, so it works in ChatGPT connectors and Deep Research in addition to developer mode.

Claude Desktop (legacy stdio bridge)

If your client only supports stdio servers, use the pinned mcp-remote bridge. Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evlek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@0.1.16", "https://evlek.app/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The "evlek" server appears in the tools list.

MCP Inspector (test before installing)

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector https://evlek.app/api/mcp

Direct API (cURL)

curl -X POST https://evlek.app/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Local stdio server (this repository)

This repo is also a runnable MCP server. It answers initialize / tools/list entirely locally from the embedded tool contract (tools.json) and fetches live data from the Evlek data API when a tool is called:

npx github:Evlek/evlek-mcp        # or: npm install && npm start

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evlek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:Evlek/evlek-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Smoke-test it (spawns the server and speaks real MCP over stdio):

npm test              # live: initialize + tools/list + a real tools/call
OFFLINE=1 npm test    # offline: introspection works with zero network

Available tools (v1.9.0 — 15 tools)

#	Tool	What it does
1	`search_listings`	Search active listings by city, type (sale/rent/daily), bedrooms, and GBP price range (normalized server-side). Up to 10 results with title, price, location, direct link.
2	`get_price_index`	Aggregated avg/median/min/max prices per city + top districts (Evlek Price Index), with IQR outlier exclusion and a minimum-sample floor.
3	`get_market_overview`	High-level market overview — indicative city rent/sale levels, yield ranges, and routing to Evlek's calculators.
4	`compare_cities`	Compare 2-4 cities side-by-side with prices, listing counts, top districts, automatic verdict.
5	`get_yield_estimate`	Estimate gross/net annual rental yield + breakeven years. Cities without sufficient data return a clear unsupported message.
6	`suggest_neighborhood`	Match a buyer persona (retiree, investor, student, family, digital_nomad, vacation) to neighborhoods.
7	`compare_properties`	Compare 2-4 active listing UUIDs side-by-side with GBP price-per-m², area, bedrooms, value insight. Mixed sale/rent/daily IDs are rejected — those prices are not comparable.
8	`get_district_profile`	360° district profile — sale/rent stats, £/m², bedroom breakdown, estimated yield, persona match. Same outlier filter and sample floor as the price index.
9	`student_housing`	Student-housing rental outlook near a KKTC university, academic-year vs year-round.
10	`payment_plan`	Convert a price across GBP/EUR/USD/TRY using live date-stamped rates; off-plan staged-payment context.
11	`get_listing_detail`	360° profile of one active listing by UUID, including GBP-normalized price-per-m².
12	`search`	(ChatGPT-compatible) Free-text search returning listings as `{id, title, url}`. Understands city, type, bedroom and GBP price constraints in the query.
13	`fetch`	(ChatGPT-compatible) Fetch full listing detail by id from `search`.
14	`list_locations`	Valid city + district dictionary — call first when unsure of location names.
15	`get_listing_by_number`	Look up a listing by its `EVL-XXXXXX` listing number.

Interactive widgets (MCP Apps / SEP-1865)

Three tools additionally ship a sandboxed HTML view that MCP Apps-capable hosts (Claude web/desktop) render inline in the conversation:

Tool	Widget	What you get
`search_listings`, `search`	`ui://evlek/listing-cards-v2.html`	Card grid with cover photos; per-card drill-down into the detail view without leaving the widget
`get_listing_detail`	`ui://evlek/listing-detail-v2.html`	Photo gallery with AI captions, spec sheet, and a before/after AI virtual-staging comparison slider
`get_price_index`	`ui://evlek/price-index-v2.html`	District bar chart with explicit sample-size confidence tiers

Views are static, self-contained HTML — no bundler, no third-party JS. Listing data reaches them only at runtime over postMessage and is written with textContent, never innerHTML. CSP is declared per resource (_meta.ui.csp) and limited to the public listing-photo origin.

See TOOLS.md for full input schemas, parameter details, and response examples.

Architecture

The Evlek MCP server runs as a hosted endpoint at https://evlek.app/api/mcp. It speaks the Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0), protocolVersion 2026-07-28, and exposes tools, resources, resource templates, and prompts. Discovery metadata is published at /.well-known/mcp.json.

This repository contains:

server.json — MCP Registry manifest
TOOLS.md — Full tool reference (JSON schemas + examples)
examples/ — Configuration files for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code
CONTRIBUTING.md — How to file issues and propose docs improvements

The full server implementation (database schemas, API routes, AI prompt engineering, listing pipeline) is hosted at evlek.app and remains proprietary.

Security model
