This one has been quiet for a while

Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CYCLESITE_API_URL (Cyclesite base URL. Override only for partner staging environments.), CYCLESITE_API_KEY (Optional partner API key for raised rate limits. Public tier works without one.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

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, where it sold and the date it sold. Requires OAuth scope `listings:manage`. Example: 'mark my Trek Domane as sold for £1,750 on Facebook last Saturday'.

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

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, the same chart Cyclesite publishes at /bike-size-calculator (height to inside leg to seat tube), refined by real UK listing data where riders' declared heights are available. Children are sized by wheel diameter instead and the tool says so. 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 checks an international stolen-bike registry and theft reports filed by riders, 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[+year][+condition] on the UK market. Same measured UK used-price data as get_valuation but framed as seller guidance. Pass `year` when the seller names one — the ask is then anchored on that model year's own median rather than the all-years median. 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. Pass `year` when the user names one and the answer is resolved against that model year's own measured median and confidence interval, instead of the all-years median. 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 511 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 511 ms on average, which is faster than 28% 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 43 times in the last week. Week over week that is +22%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
