  "account": "If you're developing AI agents that require real Japanese data, you've likely encountered a similar challenge as the author did: scattered e-commerce, price indices, government datasets, and local marketplaces across websites lacking clean APIs. To address this problem, they built and published ten MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that aggregate these sources into tools that any MCP client (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline) can directly access. All servers are free to connect to, and the source code is available on GitHub.\n\nOne of the servers, mlit-property-prices-mcp, is also listed on the official MCP Registry (io.github.atushi1841/mlit-property-prices-mcp), providing Japan's official land-transaction price dataset (XIT001) for real estate investment and related applications. To connect to these servers, one can use a Smithery URL or copy the connection snippet from the Smithery page for each server into Claude Desktop or Cursor configuration. The author built these servers as part of a personal automation project focused on Japanese sweepstakes and price monitoring, with all data sources being HTML-only. The code is open-source under the MIT license, without requiring any API keys for the free endpoints.\n\nThe author seeks feedback on which additional data domain would benefit most from a hosted MCP tool, particularly in the categories of e-commerce prices, government datasets, and sweepstakes. They also want to address any transport issues with Smithery-hosted servers that may not connect cleanly with certain MCP clients. If these MCP servers save you time from scraping or bookmarking them, sharing a star on the repository would help others discover them while building Japan-focused AI agents.",
  "summary": "If you build AI agents that need real Japanese data , you've probably hit the same wall I did: Japanese e-commerce, price indices, government datasets, and local marketplaces are scattered across sites with no clean API. So over the past few months I built and published 10 MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that wrap these sources into tools any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, etc.)…",
