Connect your agent

Two paths. Pick one.

Most people want the Custom Connector: paste a URL, sign in, and you're done. The local proxy is for IDE agents that read MCP config from a file.

1

On claude.ai, open your profile → Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2

Fill in the dialog (no API key needed):

Name MarketCheck MCPs

https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/mcp

Click Add. Claude opens a MarketCheck sign-in window.

3

Sign in with your MarketCheck account, then on the consent screen tick the tools to allow and pick the API key to use. Click Allow.

You can change the allowed tools or revoke access later from API Keys, under AI Agents.

Open a new chat on claude.ai or in Claude Desktop and ask anything automotive. The tools appear automatically.

CLI mode

Run without an agent

For debugging, scripting, or piping tool calls into your own AI workflow.

MARKETCHECK_API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY> npx -y @marketcheck/mcp-client

Build with your coding assistant

Give your agent the docs. Free, no key.

The docs MCP server puts searchable MarketCheck documentation and an exact endpoint reference inside Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf while it writes your integration. It reads public documentation only: no sign-in, no API key, nothing to configure. Pair it with the data MCP above when your agent also needs live data.

Claude Code

One command, then ask it anything about the API.

claude mcp add --transport http marketcheck-docs https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/docs-mcp

Cursor

Save as.cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marketcheck-docs": { "url": "https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/docs-mcp" }
  }
}

VS Code

Or add the same entry under "servers" in.vscode/mcp.json.

code --add-mcp '{"name":"marketcheck-docs","type":"http","url":"https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/docs-mcp"}'

Windsurf

Save in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "marketcheck-docs": { "serverUrl": "https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/docs-mcp" }
  }
}

What to ask your coding agent

See what you can build with it

AGENTS.md for your repo

Drop one file into your project root and your assistant knows our auth, pagination rules, rate-limit handling, and the key endpoints. Works with any agent that reads AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

curl -O https://developers.marketcheck.com/AGENTS.md

OpenAPI 3.1 spec

Every endpoint with every parameter and a real example response. Point Cursor's @Docs at it, hand it to a codegen tool, or let your agent read it directly.
