gdebenz-mcp

MCP server for finding gasoline and diesel at Russian gas stations. Combines two independent sources — gdebenz.ru and gdebenzi.ru — crowdsourced fuel availability maps with real-time driver check-ins.

Lets your AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, etc.) answer questions like:

"Where near Khimki is there 95-octane gasoline?" "What's the nearest Lukoil station with diesel, and is there a queue?"

Works through the public APIs of both services. No API keys needed — just Python and two packages.

Two data sources

The search tools have a source parameter: "gdebenz", "gdebenzi", or "both" (default is both — maximum coverage).

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/ivanegorenkov/gdebenz-mcp.git
cd gdebenz-mcp

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

Requires Python 3.10+.

3. Connect the server to your assistant

Claude Desktop — open/create claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdebenz": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/АБСОЛЮТНЫЙ/ПУТЬ/gdebenz-mcp/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor — in the project's .cursor/mcp.json (or global ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdebenz": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/АБСОЛЮТНЫЙ/ПУТЬ/gdebenz-mcp/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw:

openclaw mcp add gdebenz --command python3 --arg /АБСОЛЮТНЫЙ/ПУТЬ/gdebenz-mcp/server.py

⚠️ Replace /ABSOLUTE/PATH/ with the actual path where the repository was cloned (you can find it by running pwd inside the folder).

Instructions for the AI agent

If the user asks to "set up this MCP server" — do the following:

1. git clone https://github.com/ivanegorenkov/gdebenz-mcp.git

2. cd gdebenz-mcp && pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Determine the user's MCP host (Claude Desktop / Cursor / OpenClaw) and add the gdebenz entry to its config, as shown above (with the absolute path to server.py).

4. Restart the host/application.

5. Verify the server is visible (in OpenClaw: openclaw mcp probe gdebenz).

The server is stdio-based and requires no external keys.

What it can do (9 tools)

Example request to the assistant: find_fuel(location="Khimki", fuel="95", brand="Lukoil", source="both").

Semantics

• Fuel: 92, 95, 98, 100, diesel. For gdebenz — fuels_now (comma-separated string), for gdebenzi — fuels_yes / fuels_no / fuels_maybe (arrays with Russian names, e.g. ["АИ-95", "ДТ"]).

• Status: yes — available, queue — available/queue, low — low, no — unavailable, unknown — unknown, changing — updating, dtonly — diesel only.

• Freshness: for gdebenz — last_at, confirmations, confidence (0..1); for gdebenzi — last_mark (check-in time), confidence_pct, marks, reports. Both sources return age_minutes and freshness ("just now", "3 h ago").

• Queue/limits (gdebenzi): queue ("queue of 25–50 cars"), limits (limit in liters per fuel grade).

• Prices: gdebenz — prices_now[fuel].t (price report time); gdebenzi — prices (keys ai92/ai95/ai98/ai100/dt/gas) and regional_prices (regional averages).
