Joomil — Swiss Classifieds MCP

joomil-mcp

MCP server for Joomil.ch — Switzerland's leading French-speaking classifieds marketplace, active since 2007.

Browse and search 45,000+ active listings across 34 categories: real estate, vehicles, jobs, animals, electronics, fashion and more — all from Switzerland's French-speaking regions (Romandie).

Tools

Tool	Description
suggest_filters	Infer search_classifieds filters from a natural-language query
search_classifieds	Search listings with filters: keyword, category, canton (strict enum), location, price range, sort, pagination
get_classified	Get full details of a listing by ID: description, images, vendor, expiry date
get_categories	List active categories with hierarchy via parent_id
get_cantons	List the canton values supported by the canton filter (API-specific spellings)

Quick Start

This is a remote MCP server — no local installation required.

Endpoint: https://joomil-mcp.snowy-surf-deec.workers.dev/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "joomil": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://joomil-mcp.snowy-surf-deec.workers.dev/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to your MCP settings:

  }
}

Example Prompts

• "Trouve-moi une voiture automatique à moins de 10'000 CHF dans le canton de Vaud."
• "Cherche un appartement 3 pièces à Sion."
• "Quelles catégories d'électronique propose Joomil ?"
• "Montre-moi les annonces de canapés vintage en Valais."
• "Cherche des offres d'emploi dans l'hôtellerie à Neuchâtel."

Tip for agents: call get_cantons before filtering by canton — the API uses non-obvious spellings (e.g. Bern not Berne, Geneve not Genève/Geneva). For free-text user requests, call suggest_filters first, then pass the returned filters object to search_classifieds.

API Reference

suggest_filters

Parameter	Type	Description
query	string	Natural-language search request, e.g. appartement 3 pièces à Sion

Returns a ready-to-use filters object for search_classifieds, plus a category confidence score and warnings when matching is uncertain. Category metadata is cached briefly by the MCP layer to avoid refetching the category tree for every suggestion.

Useful examples:

User request	Typical suggested filters
Tesla Model 3 moins de 25'000 CHF	q: "Tesla Model 3", cat_id: 101, price_max: 25000, sort: "price_asc"
vélo budget 1.5k CHF	q: null, category in sport/leisure, price_max: 1500, sort: "price_asc"
appartement 3 pièces à Sion	q: "3 pièces", cat_id: 10255, location: "Sion"
voiture entre 10'000 et 20'000 CHF	cat_id: 101, price_min: 10000, price_max: 20000
Golf GTI dans le canton de Vaud	q: "Golf GTI", cat_id: 101, canton: "Vaud"
canapé vintage à Lausanne	q: "vintage", cat_id: 10022, location: "Lausanne"
iPhone 14 à Genève	q: "iPhone 14", cat_id: 10127, location: "Genève"

search_classifieds

Parameter	Type	Description
q	string	Full-text search (title + description)
cat_id	number	Category ID — includes subcategories
canton	enum	Strict enum — see get_cantons. Geneve, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg, Neuchatel, Jura, Bern, Argovie, Zurich, Lucerne, Bale-Ville, Etranger
location	string	City name or postal code (partial match)
price_min	number	Minimum price in CHF
price_max	number	Maximum price in CHF
sort	enum	recent (default, newest first), price_asc, price_desc, views (most viewed)
limit	number	Results per page (1–50, default 20)
offset	number	Pagination offset — use next_offset from previous response

Tool responses include a short human-readable summary followed by compact serialized JSON in content for MCP backward compatibility. Full data is also returned in structuredContent with results, total, limit, offset, has_more, next_offset, and filtered_out (items removed from the current page by MCP-side category restrictions).

Result shape (each item):

  "has_picture": true,
  "seller": { "name": "jpclair", "certified": false }
}

get_classified

Parameter	Type	Description
id	number	Listing ID (from search results or listing URL)

Returns full listing details, including complete description, images, category path, expiry date, boost level, and seller details.

get_categories

Parameter	Type	Description
parent_id	number	Optional — omit for all, 0 for root categories, or any category ID for its children

get_cantons

No parameters. Returns the canton values accepted by search_classifieds' canton filter, with their French labels:

{
  "cantons": [
    { "name": "Geneve", "label_fr": "Genève", "code": "GE", "region": "Romandie" },
    { "name": "Bern", "label_fr": "Berne", "code": "BE", "region": "Suisse alémanique" }
  ],
  "total": 12
}

Always pass the name field (not label_fr nor code) to the canton filter.

Data

• Source: Joomil.ch public REST API
• Coverage: 45,000+ active listings, 34 top-level categories, 190,000+ registered users
• Location: Switzerland (French-speaking regions — Romandie)
• Language: French
• Update frequency: Real-time
• Authentication: None required

Limitations

This MCP server is read-only and uses public data only.

• No write operations: cannot create, edit, or delete listings; cannot contact sellers.
• No authentication: no user accounts, no messages, no favorites, no saved searches.
• No seller contact: phone numbers and email addresses are not exposed — use the listing url to open Joomil.ch directly.
• No posting: publishing an ad must be done on joomil.ch.
• Restricted categories: Erotique (28), Rencontres & Amitié (14000), Voyance & Astrologie (651), and their descendants are filtered out by the MCP layer per content policy. The underlying PHP API remains available for direct use.
• Canton filter is strict: only the values returned by get_cantons are accepted. Other spellings (Berne, Genève, Geneva, GE, VD...) are silently ignored by the upstream API and would return all listings instead of a filtered set — the strict enum here prevents that.
• Currency: all prices are in CHF. Listings may have price.amount: null (price on request) or 0 (free).
• Upstream errors: Joomil API failures are returned as MCP tool errors with isError: true.
