Fuel prices for AI agents (MCP)

The Official Fuel Prices API can be used as a tool by any MCP-compatible AI client through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent passes coordinates and a fuel type and gets back the cheapest or nearest stations with prices.

When an agent should use this tool

The user asks for current fuel, petrol, gasoline, diesel, LPG or CNG prices in France, Spain, Italy or Western Australia.
The user wants the cheapest or nearest fuel station around a location (the agent must provide coordinates).
A workflow needs station-level fuel prices as structured JSON.

Example prompts

“Find the 5 cheapest diesel stations within 5 km of 48.8566, 2.3522.”
“What does unleaded 95 cost near the centre of Valencia today?”
“List the nearest LPG stations to Perth CBD with their prices.”

Tips for reliable tool calls

Always pass fuelTypes and a small maxResults — the price is per row.
Pass coordinates, not place names: there is no geocoding.
Read currency and unit before comparing prices across countries.

Pricing: pay per use on Apify — $0.005 per run plus $0.0005 per price row ($0.50 per 1,000). A "cheapest 10 stations near a point" query costs about $0.01. You set maxResults, so you only pay for the rows you ask for.
