Requirements

  • Node.js ≥ 18 (uses the built-in global fetch)

  • Any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.)

Quickstart

Run directly with npx (nothing to install):

npx willhaben-mcp

…or install globally:

npm install -g willhaben-mcp
willhaben-mcp

Register it with your MCP client

Add to your MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "willhaben": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "willhaben-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or, if you've cloned the repo and built it locally (npm run build), point the client at the bundled dist/index.js. Replace <project-root> with the absolute path to your clone:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "willhaben": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<project-root>/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Then restart the client and ask something like "find 3-room apartments for sale in Graz under €400,000." The server speaks MCP over stdio — no ports, keys, or accounts.

Sample output

A real-estate search returns a compact, scannable summary (truncated):

## Search Results: Eigentumswohnung
Found 333 listings (showing 3 of 3 per page, page 1)
Vertical: real_estate

1. Exklusives Wohnen in Graz-Eggenberg – moderne 2-Zimmer-Wohnung mit Loggia
   💰 € 185.000 | 📍 Graz, Eggenberg | 📐 63 m² | 🛏️ 2 rooms | 📊 € 2.936,51 /m²
   👤 Private | 🔗 https://www.willhaben.at/iad/immobilien/d/eigentumswohnung/...

2. …

willhaben_get_listing expands one ad into description highlights, full attribute list, image count, seller (private/dealer), address, and contact option.

Example prompts

Find 3-room apartments for sale in Graz under €400,000
Search used BMW under €15,000, automatic, registered after 2018
Show new iPhones on the marketplace in Vienna under €700
Get the full details for willhaben listing 1370327604

Bundled command & skill

The repo ships two optional Claude Code extras in .claude/ that build on the MCP tools:

  • /willhaben-search command — turns a one-line query ("2-room flat in Graz under 300k", "used BMW diesel automatic under 15k") into the right tool call and returns a clean comparison table with value metrics (€/m², €/km), locations, and links.

    /willhaben-search command output

  • apartment-hunt skill — a multi-step real-estate workflow: search → score by value → dedupe → pull details on the top matches → ranked shortlist with rationale. Trigger it by asking to find/compare apartments or houses (e.g. "help me find a 2-bedroom flat in Vienna under €350k").

    apartment-hunt skill output

They're auto-discovered when you work inside this project. To use them globally, copy them into your user config:

cp .claude/commands/willhaben-search.md ~/.claude/commands/
cp -r .claude/skills/apartment-hunt ~/.claude/skills/

Both assume the MCP server is registered under the name willhaben (as in the config above). If you name it differently, update the allowed-tools prefix in the command.

Location filtering

Real-estate, car, and marketplace searches accept a location parameter resolved to a willhaben area in three tiers:

Input

Example

Resolution

Austrian state

Wien, Steiermark, Tirol

Instant, offline

City / place / postal code

Graz, Innsbruck, 6020

Live via willhaben's area autocomplete

Numeric area ID

900

Passed through directly

Location filtering is not available for jobs (the jobs API does not support it). Put the place name in the job keyword instead (e.g. "Software Wien").

How it works

The server fetches public willhaben.at pages and reads the structured JSON that the site embeds in its __NEXT_DATA__ script tag — the same data the willhaben web app renders from. Jobs use the public publicapi.willhaben.at endpoint, and location names are resolved through willhaben's public area-autocomplete endpoint. No API keys, tokens, or reverse-engineered credentials are involved.

                            │  • rate limit: 1 request/sec · 5-min response cache

Limitations & notes

  • Project / Bauträger ads (new developments) can appear in real-estate results even above your price_to, because willhaben surfaces them as teasers; the result count still reflects the filter, and per-unit ads respect it.

  • Car make/model are matched as free-text keywords unless you pass a numeric willhaben make/model ID. Brand names work well as keywords; exact model-ID filtering needs the ID.

  • Jobs don't support location filtering (the public jobs API ignores it) — fold the place into the keyword.

  • Dynamic location lookup (cities/postal codes) makes one extra network call to willhaben's area-autocomplete; Austrian state names resolve offline with no extra request.

  • Results are capped at 100 per page. This is a deliberate, polite default — don't work around it to bulk-harvest.

  • willhaben's page structure can change at any time; if extraction breaks, the tool returns a clear error rather than guessing.

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided; description lacks behavioral details such as error handling, pagination, or output structure. Minimal transparency.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose and usage. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema), the description is adequate. Could mention output format, but not critical.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema covers 100% of parameter description with enum and required status; description adds no extra semantic value beyond what the schema already provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves category paths for a vertical and its use in search queries. It distinguishes from sibling search tools.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage before searching ('Use these categories in search queries'), but does not explicitly exclude other uses or list alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

willhaben_get_listingA

Get full details for a specific willhaben.at listing by ID. Returns all attributes, images, seller info, contact details, and description.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
idYesThe willhaben listing/ad ID (e.g., '1370327604')

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It explicitly lists the returned data: attributes, images, seller info, contact details, and description. This covers the tool's behavior adequately.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence that is front-loaded with the key action and resource, followed by the specific details returned. No extraneous words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's simplicity (one parameter, no output schema, no nested objects), the description is complete. It explains what the tool does and what it returns.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for the single parameter 'id', which already has a description. The tool description adds minor context ('The willhaben listing/ad ID'), but does not significantly enhance understanding beyond the schema.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool retrieves full details for a specific listing by ID, with a specific verb 'Get' and resource 'willhaben listing'. It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on searching and categories.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage when a listing ID is available and full details are needed. It does not explicitly mention when not to use or provide alternatives, but the context and sibling names make it clear.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

willhaben_search_carsA

Search willhaben.at car listings (used cars, new cars). Filter by make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel type, and transmission.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description must carry the full behavioral burden. It reveals the tool is for searching and filtering but omits traits like pagination (though present in schema), rate limits, authorization, or error behavior. It adds minimal context beyond the functional purpose.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that is concise and front-loaded with the verb 'Search'. It wastes no words, though it could be slightly more structured (e.g., bullet points) for a tool with 15 parameters. Still, it is efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 15 parameters and no output schema or annotations, the description is too minimal. It does not explain the platform (willhaben.at), result format, error handling, or ordering of filters. A more complete description would cover these aspects for an AI agent to use effectively.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description lists some filters but does not add new meaning beyond what is already in the schema's parameter descriptions. It summarizes a subset but does not enhance understanding significantly.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states 'Search willhaben.at car listings' with a specific verb and resource. It lists key filters like make, model, price, year, mileage, fuel type, and transmission, and the name includes 'cars', distinguishing it from sibling search tools for jobs, real estate, etc.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for car searches but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus siblings like willhaben_search or willhaben_search_marketplace. No when-not-to-use or alternative guidance is provided, leaving ambiguity for an AI agent.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

willhaben_search_jobsC

Search willhaben.at job listings. Filter by keyword and job type.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keywordNoJob title or keyword (also matches location names, e.g. 'Software Wien')
job_typeNoJob type: 'Vollzeit', 'Teilzeit', etc.
sortNoSort: 'newest' or 'nearby'
rowsNoResults per page (default: 30)
pageNoPage number (default: 1)

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description should disclose behavioral details like side effects, authentication needs, or output structure. It only states it searches and filters, missing important transparency cues for a mutation-free tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, front-loaded sentence that efficiently communicates the tool's core purpose. It is concise but not overly terse.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description lacks information about the output format or how results are returned, especially since no output schema is provided. It also does not clarify default behaviors or parameter interactions for a tool with five optional parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema already provides 100% coverage with descriptions for each parameter. The description adds no additional meaning beyond mentioning 'keyword and job type', so it meets baseline but does not elevate understanding.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool searches job listings on willhaben.at and filters by keyword and job type. It is specific enough to distinguish it from sibling search tools for cars, real estate, etc.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus the other search-related sibling tools (e.g., willhaben_search, willhaben_search_real_estate). The description does not mention exclusions or alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

willhaben_search_marketplaceA

Search willhaben.at marketplace (Marktplatz) for second-hand items. Filter by keyword, category, condition, price, and location.

ParametersJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
keywordNoSearch term/keyword
categoryNoCategory slug including the numeric ID (e.g., 'computer-software-5824', 'smartphones-telefonie-2691'). Use willhaben_get_categories to list valid slugs.
conditionNoItem condition: 'neu'/'new', 'gebraucht'/'used', or 'defekt'/'defective'
locationNoLocation: Austrian state, city, place, or postal code (e.g. 'Wien', 'Graz', '6020')
price_fromNoMinimum price
price_toNoMaximum price
sortNoSort: 'newest', 'price_asc', 'price_desc', 'relevance'
rowsNoResults per page (default: 30)
pageNoPage number (default: 1)

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as rate limits, authentication requirements, pagination behavior, or what happens on error or empty results. The description only states it performs a search.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence that efficiently conveys the tool's purpose and key filters. It is front-loaded and contains no unnecessary words, though it could be slightly more structured.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the 9 parameters and no output schema, the description provides an adequate overview of what the tool does and the key filters. However, it lacks explanation of sorting, pagination, or location usage, though most are covered in the schema.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% with detailed parameter descriptions (e.g., category includes examples and references to willhaben_get_categories). The tool description adds no additional parameter meaning beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it searches the willhaben marketplace for second-hand items, with specific filters (keyword, category, condition, price, location). This distinguishes it from sibling tools like willhaben_search_cars or willhaben_search_jobs, which target different categories.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies this tool is for marketplace items, but does not explicitly state when to use it versus the generic willhaben_search or other specialized searches. No guidance on prerequisites or alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

willhaben_search_real_estateA

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full burden. It only states the tool searches, with no disclosure of read-only nature, side effects, authentication needs, or rate limits. Minimal behavioral context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

One concise sentence that front-loads the action and resource, followed by filter details. No extraneous words, and the structure is efficient.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 11 parameters, no output schema, and no annotations, the description is minimal. It covers the basic purpose and filter options but lacks information on return format, pagination, or how parameters interact. Adequate but with gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description lists some filters (property type, price, rooms, area, location) but does not add meaning beyond what the schema already provides for all 11 parameters. No additional semantic detail.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it searches real estate listings on willhaben.at, specifying apartment and house types for sale/rent, and lists filters. Differentiates from siblings like willhaben_search_cars and willhaben_search_jobs by focusing on real estate.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage for real estate queries but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like willhaben_search or willhaben_search_cars. No when-not or exclusion criteria provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.7/5.0

Scored across 7 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct purpose: categories, listing details, general search, and four vertical-specific searches (cars, jobs, marketplace, real estate). No overlap in functionality.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent pattern: 'willhaben_' prefix followed by a clear verb_noun structure (get_categories, get_listing, search, search_cars, etc.).

Tool Count5/5

With 7 tools, the server is well-scoped for a classifieds platform, covering category retrieval, listing details, general search, and vertical-specific searches without being bloated or thin.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers key operations for browsing and retrieving listings. Missing some potential helpers like make/model filters for cars, but the core search and detail retrieval is fully covered.
