evetycoon

This MCP server exposes the EVE Tycoon API through the MCP interface, allowing clients to query market statistics, order books, and price history for EVE Online items across regions. Tools such as get_market_stats, get_market_orders, get_market_history, get_regions, get_market_groups, and get_market_group_types are provided for convenient data access. Use the MCP client to call these tools with the appropriate identifiers (regionId, typeId, groupId) to retrieve structured data that mirrors the upstream EVE Tycoon endpoints. The server also includes prompts for market analysis, enabling scripted queries for deeper insights into pricing trends and liquidity across regions.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js installed (LTS recommended)
• Internet access to install npm packages

Installation steps:

1. Install the MCP server package from npm (example): npm install -g @kongyo2/evetycoon-mcp-server
2. If you prefer local development, clone the repository and install dependencies: git clone https://github.com/kongyo2/evetycoon-mcp-server.git cd evetycoon-mcp-server npm install
3. Build (if required by the project): npm run build
4. Start the server (production): npm start
5. Verify the server is running by hitting a health or API endpoint as documented in the repository.

Notes:

• The server connects to the public EVE Tycoon API at https://evetycoon.com/api with no authentication for public endpoints.
• If you customize the deployment, ensure environment variables (see additional notes) are provided.

Environment and configuration tips:

• API_BASE_URL should point to the EVE Tycoon API (default: https://evetycoon.com/api).
• Expose or tune caching with CACHE_TTL to balance freshness and performance. The server passes through EVE Tycoon cache headers via Expires when applicable.
• For production deployments, consider setting rate limiting and monitoring on the MCP server host to prevent abuse.
• When upgrading, re-run npm install to refresh dependencies and rebuild if required by the project.
• The available endpoints align with the EVE Tycoon API documented at the static data endpoints for regions, groups, and group types; use regionId and typeId as documented in examples.
• If you encounter API rate limits from the upstream service, respect the Expires header and implement client-side caching accordingly.
