Pumperly MCP server

Ask your AI to find cheap fuel, plan fuel-saving routes and locate EV chargers near you.

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Pumperly, a fuel price comparison service. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI things like where the cheapest petrol is on your way home. It is handy for anyone who drives, commutes, or plans trips and wants to spend less on fuel.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to Pumperly, so it can look up fuel prices, find stations and plan routes for you. You ask in normal words, and the helper quietly does the looking up behind the scenes.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about fuel or a route. The AI passes your request to this helper program. The helper talks to a Pumperly service, which knows about gas stations, prices and charging points. Pumperly sends back the details, and your AI turns them into a plain answer in the chat. You never have to visit a website or read a table of numbers yourself.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Where is the cheapest petrol near me?”, the Pumperly MCP server connects it to Pumperly, and you get back A short list of stations.
