Yespark MCP Server
Connect AI assistants — like Claude or ChatGPT — directly to the Yespark Group parking network. The MCP server lets them search bookable parking for you, through the open Model Context Protocol. No account needed.
Overview
The Yespark MCP server is a stateless gateway that exposes a curated set of Yespark Group capabilities as MCP tools. AI assistants call them to find available short-term parking around any location, with live prices and a direct booking link. It is backed by the same Partner API.
Read-only & privacy
The server is read-only: it can search parkings, but it cannot book, modify or cancel anything, and it never reads your account. Each result links to the Yespark checkout, where you complete the booking yourself. Results contain only public parking information (price, location, availability), never personal, account or payment data.
The server keeps no search history or profile. Like any web service, it writes technical logs of requests (including the search parameters your assistant sends, and your Yespark user ID if you linked your account) for monitoring and security. Free-text addresses are geocoded by the French national mapping service (IGN Géoplateforme).
Conversations are processed by your AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI…) under their own data policy. Review it before sharing anything sensitive.
Requirements
- An AI client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP (e.g. Claude, ChatGPT).
- That's it: no Yespark account and no API key are needed to search.
Endpoint
https://mcp-public.yespark.fr/mcp
The server speaks streamable HTTP. Most MCP-compatible clients only need the URL above. Pre-connection
discovery is available at
/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
Authentication
None required. The search tool is open: your assistant can call it without signing in, and there is no API key to create or store.
Linking a Yespark account is optional and returns the same results. Clients that want to can use
OAuth 2.1 (Authorization Code with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration), advertised at
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp and
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.
The only OAuth scope is public:parkings:search — read-only parking search. The server never exposes personal, account or payment data.
Connect your assistant
Add the server URL to your MCP client. No sign-in is needed.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http yespark https://mcp-public.yespark.fr/mcp
Claude (web & Desktop)
Open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, paste
https://mcp-public.yespark.fr/mcp and choose No sign in under Authentication. Then
enable the connector from the + menu of a conversation.
ChatGPT
Open chatgpt.com/plugins, click + → Add custom MCP server,
paste https://mcp-public.yespark.fr/mcp and continue without authentication. Custom MCP servers
may require developer mode, depending on your ChatGPT plan.
Other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP over streamable HTTP works the same way: register the endpoint, no credentials needed.
Available tools
| Tool | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
search_parkings |
public:parkings:search | Search bookable short-term parkings around a location — an address, station or venue in plain text, a point, or a bounding box — over a date range, for a car or a motorcycle. Returns 10 parkings per page by default, sorted by distance or price, each with its total price for the period, distance and walking time, rating, free-cancellation deadline and a booking link that opens the Yespark checkout pre-filled. Clients that support MCP Apps display the results as cards. |

Try it out
Once connected, ask your assistant in plain language:
- “Find available parking near Gare de Lyon in Paris tomorrow from 9am to 6pm.”
- “What's the cheapest parking within walking distance of 10 Rue de Rivoli this Saturday afternoon?”
- “Is there a motorcycle spot available near the Eiffel Tower next Monday morning?”
FAQ
Which AI assistants can connect?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP — Claude (Code, Desktop, web) and ChatGPT today, and a growing list of others. No plugin or wrapper is required.
Do I need a Yespark account?
No. Searching works without signing in. You only need an account to complete a booking on the Yespark checkout the results link to.
Is my data stored?
The server keeps no search history or profile. Request logs, including the search parameters, are kept for monitoring and security. Search results contain only public parking information. Note that your AI provider processes the conversation under its own data policy.
Can the server change anything on my account?
No. It is strictly read-only — it cannot book, modify, cancel, or read your account, bookings or payment details. Bookings are made by you, on the Yespark checkout.
I don't get any results — why?
The tool only returns parkings bookable in short-term. Try a denser city-center location, widen the date range, or check a different area.
