Flippa

Flippa MCP Server lets Claude access Flippa marketplace data through five focused tools running locally. It requires no API key or Flippa account and works with your Claude setup to search listings, pull details, analyze valuations, find comparables, and generate market overviews.

How to use

You run the Flippa MCP Server on your machine and connect to it with your MCP client. The server exposes five tools that let you search listings, retrieve full listing data, analyze valuations, find comparable sales, and view market-wide statistics. Use these tools in sequence to explore opportunities, validate pricing, and compare listings against market trends.

How to install

Start by running the MCP server with the following command.

npx flippa-mcp-server

If you prefer a global install, you can install the MCP server package globally and then run it.
