# ManaMurah

> ManaMurah tracks Malaysian consumer prices from the government KPDN PriceCatcher programme -- about 3,800 premises and 750+ grocery and household items. Prices are collected daily and published as weekly averages. The data is public, under Malaysia's Open Data Licence.

The fastest way for an AI agent to use this data is the ManaMurah MCP server (below): strongly-typed tools for prices, comparisons, history, and trends -- prefer it over scraping HTML pages. All endpoints are public and read-only.

## AI / agent access (preferred)
- [ManaMurah MCP server](https://mcp.manamurah.com/): remote MCP over streamable-http at https://mcp.manamurah.com/mcp. Strongly-typed tools: search items, find cheapest premise, compare prices, price history, MoM/YoY top movers, basket watch, region gap, category trends, FAMA margins and price history.
- [MCP server card](https://manamurah.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): machine-readable discovery (SEP-2127).
- [REST API](https://manamurah.com/api/v2): public JSON API that backs the site and the MCP tools.
