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.

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.

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.

To report a security issue, email hello@evlek.app.
