Connecting

Clients with native remote-MCP support

Point the client at https://www.rendaextra.pt/api/mcp.

Claude Desktop / Cursor (via stdio bridge)

These clients speak stdio. Use the bundled bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendaextra": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rendaextra-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or clone and run node bin/stdio-bridge.mjs.

Example

curl -s -X POST https://www.rendaextra.pt/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"search_opportunities",
                 "arguments":{"categoria":"estafeta_comida","regiao":"Lisboa","limit":3}}}'

How it works

The server is a stateless Vercel function. list_categories/get_category read a static 95-category taxonomy; search_opportunities queries a Supabase table of active ads. The hosted source is mirrored in server.reference.js.

There is also a plain REST API and an OpenAPI 3.1 spec (for ChatGPT Custom GPT Actions):
