gtrmarket-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for the gtrmarket API: the Nissan Skyline GT-R production registry, a parts fitment graph, live marketplace listings, and a searchable index of two decades of Skyline forum threads.

It exists because these are facts, and a language model answering from memory will get them subtly wrong. Production numbers, part numbers, what fits a BNR34 and what does not — these have sources, and an assistant should be reading them rather than recalling them.

Install

Add it to your MCP client. For Claude Desktop or Claude Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gtrmarket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "gtrmarket-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GTRMARKET_API_KEY": "gtrm_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a key at https://gtrmarket.com/settings/developer. A read-only key with market:read, registry:read, parts:read and archive:read is all this server needs, and it is what we recommend — see Safety.

The secret is shown once and never again, so paste it into your config before you close the page.

Tools

Safety

Every tool is read-only. Nothing here posts, edits, buys or deletes. An assistant that can search is useful; one that can list your car for sale is a different decision, and it should be made deliberately by somebody who has read the code — not inherited by installing an MCP server.

It is a thin wrapper. Every tool maps to exactly one documented endpoint of the public API. There is nothing this server can do that you could not do with curl, which is the property that makes it reasonable to hand it a key. Read src/tools.ts before you do; it is short.

Your key limits it further. A gtrmarket API key can never do more than the account that created it, and its scopes narrow it from there. Give this server a key with only the read scopes and it cannot write even if you asked it to.

Attribution

The archive is an index of other people's forums, not a copy of them. Every result carries its source and a link back, and where we have no permission to reproduce the posts, a result is a title and a link and nothing more. If you surface these results, show the source and link back — the same terms we operate under.

The registry, the fitment graph and the production figures exist because members contributed them. Build on them; keep the attribution.

Configuration

GTRMARKET_API_URL exists for testing against a local instance. You will not need it.

Rate limits

A free key allows 60 requests a minute and 5,000 a day. Some tools cost more than one request against that budget: search_archive and check_compatibility cost 5, the search tools cost 2. If you hit the limit the server returns a message saying so rather than failing silently, so the assistant can tell you.

Development

npm install
npm run build
GTRMARKET_API_KEY=gtrm_live_... node dist/index.js

The server speaks MCP over stdio. stdout is the protocol channel — anything written there corrupts it, which is why every diagnostic goes to stderr.
