Connect to WeBuyCars

WeBuyCars needs sign-in. Connect with its own URL:

https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website

Your client opens WeBuyCars’s sign-in the first time you use it. The token stays between your client and WeBuyCars.

About

Connects to WeBuyCars, a South African used-car dealer. You can search its live used-vehicle stock, read condition reports, look up FAQs, and start a lead to sell your own car.

The server runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at ai.webuycars.co.za. Access needs WeBuyCars credentials; the endpoint requests the openid, profile and website:read scopes. Tool names are not published.

What you can do

  • Search live used-vehicle stock
  • Read vehicle condition reports
  • Look up WeBuyCars FAQs
  • Start a sell-my-car lead

Tools

WeBuyCars lists its tools only after you sign in, so we can’t show them here. Your client lists them once you’re connected.

Example prompts

  • Find used SUVs on WeBuyCars under R300,000

  • Show the condition report for this WeBuyCars vehicle

  • What does WeBuyCars say about its selling process?

  • Start a sell-my-car lead for my 2019 VW Polo

Set up

Every client connects to ai.webuycars.co.za, and WeBuyCars asks you to sign in the first time. Pick yours; the page remembers your choice.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http webuycars https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick webuycars and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the WeBuyCars sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Customize → Connectors, click + Add, then Add custom connector.
  2. Name it WeBuyCars and paste this URL:
https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when WeBuyCars asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when WeBuyCars asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to WeBuyCars to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webuycars": {
      "url": "https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs authentication next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"webuycars","type":"http","url":"https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "webuycars": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webuycars": {
      "serverUrl": "https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add webuycars --url https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website
codex mcp login webuycars

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.webuycars]
url = "https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http webuycars https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth webuycars to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "webuycars": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website.

Embed

Show WeBuyCars in a README or on your site. Each embed links to this page, uses the server’s own URL, and sets no cookies. How embeds work

The card, the iframe and the JSON are in English. Add ?lang=it, fr, de or es to their address for another language.

Markdown
[![WeBuyCars on mcp.tc](https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars/badge.svg)](https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars)
HTML
<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars/badge.svg" alt="WeBuyCars on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>

It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.

Website card

HTML
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/webuycars.js" async></script>

The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.

iframe

HTML
<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/webuycars" title="WeBuyCars on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>

Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.

JSON

The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).

https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars.json

What each field means

AI prompt

Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the WeBuyCars card to your site.

Markdown
Add the mcp.tc card for WeBuyCars, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.

Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:

```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/webuycars.js" async></script>
```

To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.

```html
<div data-mcptc="webuycars"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/webuycars">WeBuyCars on mcp.tc</a></div>
```

Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.

If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).

For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:

Change history

Its tools are behind a sign-in, so we can’t read them. Edits by its owner show up here.

Follow WeBuyCars and we’ll email you when something changes.

FAQ

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/webuycars into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website, so your client talks to WeBuyCars directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does WeBuyCars need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a WeBuyCars account. The first time your client connects, it opens WeBuyCars’s sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server’s own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is WeBuyCars a remote or a local server?

Remote. WeBuyCars hosts it at https://ai.webuycars.co.za/website, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There’s nothing to install.

What can WeBuyCars do?

You can search live used-vehicle stock, read vehicle condition reports and look up WeBuyCars FAQs.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Does mcp.tc track changes to WeBuyCars?

Partly. WeBuyCars’s tools are behind a sign-in, so its History tab shows only edits by its owner. Follow the listing to get an email when it changes.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc’s robot read WeBuyCars’s own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can’t confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.

mcp.tc isn’t affiliated with WeBuyCars. This page was built from WeBuyCars’s public metadata, last checked on 8 Oct 2026, and an AI model wrote the description, so it can be wrong. Names and marks belong to their owners. Something off? Report this listing.
