Available tools 34

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

market
get_market_health
Buyer's-vs-seller's market signal for the UK used-bike market — should the user buy or sell now? Composite indicator from days-to-sell, asking-vs-sold-price spread, and inventory levels. Example: 'is now a good time to buy a road bike?'. Refreshed nightly.
get_market_index
Current UK used-bike market prices by category, from Cyclesite's nightly index. Returns median + range per category (road, mtb, gravel, e-bike, etc.). Example: 'how does the UK used-bike market look right now?'. Refreshed nightly from real UK market prices.
bikes
search_bikes
Search live UK used-bike listings on Cyclesite (the UK's used bicycle marketplace). Filter by brand, category, city, price range, and condition. Returns up to 5 active listings with specs and listing URLs. Live data — refreshed continuously as new bikes are listed. Example queries: 'a Trek Domane in Manchester under £2,000', 'gravel bike, very good condition, near Bristol'.
brands
list_brands
Paginated UK bike-brand catalogue from Cyclesite, ordered by stock level. Use to validate a brand name, surface options to a user, or paginate the catalogue. Stock counts are returned as bands (none / 1-5 / 6-25 / 26-100 / 100+) — Cyclesite doesn't expose precise per-brand inventory. Example: 'what brands of e-bike are available?'.
buying
get_buying_guide
Search Cyclesite's expert buying guides (24+ articles by cycling-journalism authors). Returns up to 3 matching guides with title, excerpt, difficulty, reading time, and URL. Use for educational queries that don't need live inventory. Example: 'how do I choose a bike size?', 'tips for buying a used e-bike'.
compare
compare_bikes
Side-by-side comparison of up to 3 bikes (each by brand+model[+year]). Returns spec sheets and valuations together so the user can pick. Reuses get_spec_sheet + get_valuation server-side. Example: 'compare a Trek Domane SL 6 against a Specialized Roubaix Comp'.
depreciation
get_depreciation
Brands ranked by how well (or poorly) they hold their value, from Cyclesite's measured UK used-price data. Returns top N brands by % retained vs new RRP. Example: 'which bike brands hold their value best?'.
draft
draft_listing
Sell-side helper: turn a seller's raw facts into a polished Cyclesite listing draft (title, description, suggested price, photo plan). Does NOT publish — for actual publication use publish_listing (requires OAuth). Useful for previewing what a listing would look like. Example: 'help me draft a listing for my 2021 Specialized Allez, very good condition, in Bristol'.
enquiries
get_my_enquiries
Show buyer enquiries on the authenticated user's Cyclesite listings. Requires OAuth scope `listings:read`. Example: 'any messages about my Trek?'.
fetch
fetch
OpenAI deep-research / company-knowledge compatibility. Fetch the full document for a Cyclesite listing id (returned by the search tool). Returns { id, title, text, url, metadata } — text is a plain-prose summary of the listing's description and specs, suitable for direct quoting in deep-research answers.
grade
grade_listing_quality
Categorical quality grade for a Cyclesite listing (excellent / good / fair / weak) plus up to 2 wins and 2 flags. Helps a buyer assess trustworthiness; helps a seller self-audit. Example: 'is this listing trustworthy?' (provide the slug). Note: returns the *categorical* judgement only, not the underlying score (intentional to avoid gaming).
listing
get_listing_detail
Full details for a specific bike listing on Cyclesite — specs, condition, frame number presence, photos, delivery, seller's city. Provide the URL slug returned by search_bikes or get_recent_listings. Example: after the user says 'tell me more about that 2022 Trek Domane', call this with the slug from the prior result.
listings
list_my_listings
Show the authenticated user's Cyclesite listings (draft / active / sold). Requires OAuth scope `listings:read`. Example: 'how are my listings doing?'.
location
search_by_location
Find Cyclesite listings within a radius of a UK location (lat/lng). Radius capped at 50 miles. Returns up to 10 listings ordered by distance. Live UK marketplace data. Example: 'used bikes within 25 miles of LE10 0AA' (geocode the postcode first, then call this).
make
make_enquiry
Send an enquiry to a Cyclesite seller on the buyer's behalf. It's saved to the buyer's Cyclesite inbox and the seller is notified. Per-buyer-per-listing daily cap (2/day) prevents spam. Read the seller's reply with get_my_messages. Requires OAuth scope `enquiries:respond` (note: the scope name is shared with seller-side replies). Example: 'message the seller of that Trek and ask if they'd take £1,400 collection only in Manchester next Saturday'.
mark
mark_as_sold
Mark a Cyclesite listing as sold (optionally with the final sale price). Requires OAuth scope `listings:manage`. Example: 'mark my Trek Domane as sold for £1,750'.
messages
get_my_messages
Read the buyer's own Cyclesite message threads and any seller replies. Call with no args to list your conversations; pass a threadId to read one thread's messages. Pairs with make_enquiry (which saves the enquiry to your inbox). Requires OAuth scope `listings:read`. Example: 'did the seller of that Trek reply yet?'.
model
get_model_info
Cyclesite catalogue entry for a brand+model: category, year range, AI-generated description, key specs, market summary. Reference data — refreshed when models are added or specs change. Example: 'tell me about the Specialized Allez'.
models
list_models_for_brand
Models for a brand on Cyclesite (paginated). Returns model names, year ranges, in-stock flag. Example: "what Trek road bikes are available?" → list_brands(q:"Trek") → list_models_for_brand(brandSlug:"trek", category:"road").
price
get_price_trends
UK used-bike price trends over the last N months by category, from Cyclesite's index series. Example: 'how have road-bike prices changed in 2026?'. Monthly data, refreshed at month-end.
publish
publish_listing
Publish a Cyclesite listing on the user's behalf. Multi-step: first call (no draftId) returns a phone-friendly photo upload URL; once 3+ photos are uploaded, the next call returns either step:'live' (during launch promo, no fee) or step:'payment_required' with a Stripe Checkout URL for the £10.99 listing fee. Idempotent — keep calling with the same draftId until step:'live'. Requires OAuth scope `listings:publish`. Example flow: user says 'sell my Trek Domane' → call publish_listing → assistant directs user to upload URL → user uploads → call again → step:'live' → seller receives a confirmation email with a 24h undo link.
recent
get_recent_listings
What's new on Cyclesite right now — up to 10 of the freshest active UK listings, refreshed every 15 minutes. Use when the user asks 'what's new today?' or 'any new road bikes this week?' rather than for a specific filter. Optional category + maxPrice filters. Live data.
recommend
recommend_bike_for_budget
Curated picks from Cyclesite's live UK inventory for a budget and intent. Prefers higher-engagement listings. Returns up to 5 picks with a one-line rationale each. Example queries: 'a road bike for £1,500 for weekend rides', 'best e-MTB I can buy under £3,000', 'commuter bike in London under £400'.
report
report_stolen
Step-by-step guidance for reporting a stolen UK bike: police, insurance, listing alerts. Returns a 5-step checklist plus the official Cyclesite report URL. Example: 'my bike was just stolen, what do I do?'.
reserve
reserve_listing
Hold a Cyclesite listing for 24 hours so other buyers can't claim it while the user decides. The hold is free and advisory (the seller isn't obligated to honour it — message the seller to confirm). Paid deposit-backed holds are coming soon; do not offer deposits today. The first UK marketplace where a buyer can COMMIT inside an AI conversation. Requires OAuth scope `listings:manage`. Example: 'put a hold on that Trek for me, I want to view it Saturday'.
respond
respond_to_enquiry
Reply to a buyer enquiry on the authenticated user's listing. Requires OAuth scope `enquiries:respond`. Example: 'reply to that enquiry — say it's still available, collection only'.
save
save_search
Subscribe the user to alerts for new Cyclesite listings matching a filter — the AI assistant will then proactively notify them when a matching bike appears (price drop or fresh listing). Requires OAuth scope `listings:read` (read-only on data, but this is technically a write — it creates a SavedSearch row on the user's account). Examples: 'let me know when a Trek Domane SL 6 in Manchester under £2,000 appears', 'alert me to any e-MTB drops below £2,500 in Yorkshire'. Each user is capped at 50 active alerts.
search
search
OpenAI deep-research / company-knowledge compatibility. Search Cyclesite's active UK used-bike listings by free-text query (matches title, brand, model). Returns the canonical OpenAI shape: { results: [{ id, title, url }] }. Use the id to call fetch() for the full document.
similar
find_similar_listings
Given a Cyclesite listing slug, return up to 5 similar active listings (same category, ±25% price, same brand or frame size weighted higher). Use when the user is interested in one bike and wants alternatives. Example: 'show me bikes like that one'.
size
get_size_guide
Frame-size recommendation for a rider's height and bike category, sourced from Cyclesite's real UK listings (riders' declared heights against frame sizes they bought). Falls back to industry-standard charts when the dataset is thin. Example: 'I'm 178cm — what road-bike size do I need?'.
spec
get_spec_sheet
Aggregated spec sheet for a brand+model[+year], derived from Cyclesite's live UK inventory plus the catalogue record. Returns the most-common frame material, wheel size, groupset, brakes, weight, and (for e-bikes) motor and battery specs. Example: 'what groupset does a Canyon Endurace usually have?'.
stolen
check_stolen
Check if a UK bicycle is reported stolen by serial number. Cyclesite aggregates lookups across UK stolen-bike databases — the unique data we own. Per-serial rate-limited (3/hour) to prevent enumeration. Example: 'is the bike with serial WTU123456 reported stolen?'. Live data — cross-references multiple registries on every call.
suggest
suggest_listing_price
For a seller about to list: suggested ask, floor, and ceiling for their bike's brand+model[+condition] on the UK market. Same measured UK used-price data as get_valuation but framed as seller guidance. Example: 'I'm selling a 2021 Specialized Allez in good condition — what should I ask?'.
valuation
get_valuation
What a used UK bike is worth right now, Cyclesite's flagship tool. Returns median, range, a measured price-by-model-year curve, confidence level, and comparable active listings. Sourced from real UK market prices, the last-advertised asking prices bikes are listed for (not confirmed sale prices), refreshed nightly. Example: 'what's a 2022 Trek Domane SL 6 worth?'.

Cyclesite MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cyclesite MCP Server do?
It exposes 34 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_stolen, compare_bikes, draft_listing, fetch, find_similar_listings, get_buying_guide and 28 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Cyclesite MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 383 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Cyclesite MCP Server still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Cyclesite MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cyclesite MCP Server need an API key?
No. Cyclesite MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 34 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cyclesite MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 383 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Cyclesite MCP Server?
The npm package cyclesite-mcp-server was installed 62 times in the last week. Week over week that is +48%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
