cijene-mcp by senko - MCP Server

Cijene MCP

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Cijene API, exposing the https://api.cijene.dev functionality to AI agents.

Cijene.dev is a comprehensive database of retail store prices in Croatia, allowing you to search for products, compare prices across different chains, and find stores by location.

Features

This MCP server provides the following tools for AI agents:

list_chains - List all available retail chains in Croatia
list_chain_stores - List all stores for a specific retail chain
search_stores - Search for stores by location and filters
get_products_by_ean - Get product information by EAN barcode
search_products - Search for products by keyword
get_stats - Get statistics for all retail chains

Installation

This project uses uv for dependency management.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/cijene-mcp.git
cd cijene-mcp

Install dependencies:

uv sync

Configure your API key:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your Cijene.dev API key

Get your API key from cijene.dev.

Usage

The MCP server supports two transport modes:

stdio - For local use with Claude Desktop (default)
http - For remote access via HTTP

Running with stdio transport (Claude Desktop)

By default, the server runs with stdio transport for use with Claude Desktop:

uv run python -m cijene_mcp.server

Or explicitly set the transport:

MCP_TRANSPORT=stdio uv run python -m cijene_mcp.server

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cijene": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/cijene-mcp",
        "run",
        "python",
        "-m",
        "cijene_mcp.server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/cijene-mcp with the actual path to your cloned repository.

Running with HTTP transport (Remote Access)

To run the server as an HTTP endpoint for remote access:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http uv run python -m cijene_mcp.server

Or configure it in your .env file:

MCP_TRANSPORT=http
MCP_HTTP_PORT=8001  # Optional, defaults to 8001

The server will start on http://localhost:8001 (or your configured port) using Server-Sent Events (SSE) for communication.
