Evlek MCP Server

AI-native property discovery for North Cyprus (KKTC). Built on the Model Context Protocol — works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.

The Evlek MCP server gives AI agents structured, real-time access to North Cyprus property data — search active listings, compare cities, estimate rental yield, look up KKTC legal procedures, get district profiles, and more. All data is sourced live from evlek.app.

Why Evlek MCP

AI-first. Built for agentic workflows from day one — not retrofitted on a legacy listing API.
Multilingual. Property data in TR, EN, RU, DE, AR (currently exposed via tool descriptions in EN).
Verification-aware listings. Evlek surfaces listing and account verification context where available, and the MCP omits contact fields to preserve Evlek's reveal/contact funnel.
Built for the region. Optimized for the 6 cities of North Cyprus (Lefkoşa, Girne, Gazimağusa, İskele, Güzelyurt, Lefke) and 100+ districts.
Production-grade. OWASP MCP Top 10 aligned — Zod input validation, output sanitization, rate limiting (60/min/IP, 500/min global), Sentry observability.

Available tools (v1.5.0 — 16 tools)

#	Tool	What it does
1	`search_listings`	Search active listings by city, type (sale/rent/daily), bedrooms, and GBP price range (normalized server-side). Up to 10 results with title, price, location, direct link.
2	`get_price_index`	Aggregated avg/median/min/max prices per city + top districts (Evlek Price Index).
3	`get_market_overview`	High-level market overview — avg rent/sale prices, rental yields, investment highlights, key facts.
4	`compare_cities`	Compare 2-4 cities side-by-side with prices, listing counts, top districts, automatic verdict.
5	`get_yield_estimate`	Estimate gross/net annual rental yield + breakeven years. Cities without sufficient data return a clear unsupported message.
6	`get_legal_info`	General legal/procedural routing for koçan types, foreign purchase rules, taxes, residency, PTP. Not legal advice.
7	`suggest_neighborhood`	Match a buyer persona (retiree, investor, student, family, digital_nomad, vacation) to neighborhoods.
8	`compare_properties`	Compare 2-4 active listing UUIDs side-by-side with GBP price-per-m², area, bedrooms, value insight.
9	`get_district_profile`	360° district profile — sale/rent stats, £/m², bedroom breakdown, estimated yield, persona match.
10	`assess_title_risk`	Neutral risk band for a KKTC koçan type with verification steps. Not legal advice.
11	`foreign_buyer_roadmap`	Step-by-step KKTC foreign-buyer roadmap (PTP process). General information only.
12	`student_housing`	Student-housing rental outlook near a KKTC university, academic-year vs year-round.
13	`payment_plan`	Convert a price across GBP/EUR/USD/TRY using live date-stamped rates; off-plan staged-payment context.
14	`get_listing_detail`	360° profile of one active listing by UUID, including GBP-normalized price-per-m².
15	`search`	(ChatGPT-compatible) Free-text search returning listings as `{id, title, url}`.
16	`fetch`	(ChatGPT-compatible) Fetch full listing detail by id from `search`.

Architecture

The Evlek MCP server runs as a hosted endpoint at https://evlek.app/api/mcp. It speaks the Model Context Protocol over Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0), protocolVersion 2025-11-25, and exposes tools, resources, resource templates, and prompts. Discovery metadata is published at /.well-known/mcp.json.

This repository contains:

server.json — MCP Registry manifest
TOOLS.md — Full tool reference (JSON schemas + examples)
examples/ — Configuration files for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code
CONTRIBUTING.md — How to file issues and propose docs improvements

The full server implementation (database schemas, API routes, AI prompt engineering, listing pipeline) is hosted at evlek.app and remains proprietary.

Security model

Per OWASP MCP Top 10: per-IP rate limit 60/min, global 500/min, 30s hard timeout, Zod input validation, output sanitization (prompt-injection defense), max 10 results per query, Supabase anon key + RLS, no stack traces leaked, Sentry observability.

Quick start

Remote-capable clients (preferred)

Most modern MCP clients (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) connect directly to the Streamable HTTP endpoint — no local bridge needed:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evlek": {
      "url": "https://evlek.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (connector + Deep Research)

Add https://evlek.app/api/mcp as a custom connector. Evlek exposes OpenAI-compatible search and fetch tools, so it works in ChatGPT connectors and Deep Research in addition to developer mode.

Claude Desktop (legacy stdio bridge)

If your client only supports stdio servers, use the pinned mcp-remote bridge. Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "evlek": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@0.1.16", "https://evlek.app/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The "evlek" server appears in the tools list.
