EnCarAPI MCP server: Korean and Chinese used car data for AI assistants

Model Context Protocol server for EnCarAPI. Lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other MCP clients search live used car listings from South Korea (Encar, KB Chachacha, K Car) and China (Dongchedi, Che168), and pull full details, inspection reports and accident records.

An API key is required. Get one (5-day trial) at encarapi.com. Chinese data works with a ChinaCarAPI key or an EnCarAPI key with the China add-on.

Option 1: hosted (no install)

Add this URL as a remote MCP server and send your key as a Bearer token:

https://mcp.encarapi.com/mcp
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ENCARAPI_KEY

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http encarapi https://mcp.encarapi.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ENCARAPI_KEY"

Clients that only accept a URL can use https://mcp.encarapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_ENCARAPI_KEY (the Bearer header is preferred, since URLs can end up in logs). A separate ChinaCarAPI key goes into the x-china-key header.

Option 2: local (npx)

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json) and most other clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "encarapi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "encarapi-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ENCARAPI_KEY": "YOUR_ENCARAPI_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add encarapi -e ENCARAPI_KEY=YOUR_ENCARAPI_KEY -- npx -y encarapi-mcp

Optional: CHINACARAPI_KEY for a separate ChinaCarAPI key.

Example prompts

  • "Find accident-free Genesis GV80 from 2022 or newer under 50 million KRW and compare the mileage."

  • "Show the inspection report and accident record for Encar listing 41000001."

  • "What are the cheapest export-ready BYD Seal listings in China right now?"

Self-hosting the HTTP endpoint

docker build -t encarapi-mcp .
docker run -p 3000:3000 encarapi-mcp     # POST /mcp, GET /health

Stateless: every request carries its own key, nothing is stored.
