Clara Carros MCP server

An MCP server that lets AI assistants work with Clara Carros — used & imported cars in Portugal. Search live stock, estimate the Portuguese import tax (ISV), estimate a car's resale value, and get in touch.

It's a thin, open-source wrapper over the public claracars.pt API — no keys, no setup beyond adding the server.

Cline / one-click install: see llms-install.md — the machine-readable setup guide.

Notes

• Estimates, not quotes. ISV and resale figures are estimates; the official ISV is assessed by the Portuguese tax authority.
• Privacy. contact_me / request_import_quote send the details the user provides to Clara Carros (privacy policy); they're rate-limited and require explicit user intent.
• No business logic or data lives in this repo — it only calls the public API.
