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).

Quick Start

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

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

  }
}

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

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:

{
  "query": "appartement 3 pièces à Sion",
  "filters": {
    "q": "3 pièces",
    "cat_id": 10255,
    "canton": null,
    "location": "Sion",
    "price_min": null,
    "price_max": null,
    "sort": "recent",
    "limit": 20
  },
  "category": {
    "id": 10255,
    "name": "Appartements",
    "url": "https://www.joomil.ch/annonces/immobilier/locations/appartements/10255",
    "parent_id": 339,
    "confidence": 0.82,
    "reason": "requête immobilière appartement"
  },
  "confidence": 0.74,
  "warnings": [],
  "next_step": "Call search_classifieds with the filters object. Adjust q or cat_id if the result set is too broad."
}

search_classifieds

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):

{
  "id": 366872, "title": "Maison avec étangs",
  "price": { "amount": 237977.5, "currency": "CHF" },
  "location": { "city": "Saint Eugène", "postal_code": "71320", "canton": "Geneve", "country": "FR" },
  "category": { "id": 10261, "name": "Maisons & Villas", "url": "https://..." },
  "url": "https://www.joomil.ch/annonce/.../366872",
  "created_at": "2026-06-26T22:17:11+02:00",
  "has_picture": true,
  "seller": { "name": "jpclair", "certified": false }
}

get_classified

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

get_categories

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.
