The Wheel Atlas MCP

An official MCP server providing access to an open database of bicycle wheelsets. It allows AI agents to search wheels by specifications, look up current manufacturer prices in multiple currencies, compare different wheel models, and verify UCI approval status for road, gravel, track, and MTB disciplines.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

get_wheel_price — Get wheel price
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get current pricing and specs for one wheel by company and model. Prefers an available match; a discontinued wheel is returned (flagged, with last-known prices) when it is the only match.

compare_wheels — Compare wheels
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Compare 2-3 wheels side by side: full specs and prices in every currency each is sold in. Each entry is matched by partial company and model, preferring an available wheel. Entries that match nothing are listed in not_found; the call fails if fewer than 2 wheels are found.

check_uci_approval — Check UCI approval
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Check UCI approval status for wheels matching a company and/or model (partial matches). At least one of company or model is required. Returns up to 20 matching wheels, each with its stored UCI Approved value (Yes / No); a blank value means not yet checked, not "not approved".

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http the-wheel-atlas-mcp https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add the-wheel-atlas-mcp --url https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable the-wheel-atlas-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-wheel-atlas-mcp": {
      "url": "https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-wheel-atlas-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start the-wheel-atlas-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "the-wheel-atlas-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http the-wheel-atlas-mcp https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-wheel-atlas-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://thewheelatlas.com/mcp"
