## Why Lumnix

**The old way:** Subscribe to Jungle Scout for product research ($49/mo), Keepa for price history ($50/mo), some Chrome extension for Alibaba vetting ($20/mo), and a spreadsheet for margin math. Switch between tabs all day. Miss opportunities.

**The Lumnix way:** One API key. 19 tools. In your AI assistant. No dashboards. No Chrome extensions. No tab-hopping.

> *"Find me wireless earbuds under $20 with high sales volume, low reviews, and a supplier on Alibaba with MOQ under 500"*

Your AI calls Lumnix. You get structured data with revenue estimates, competition analysis, and profit margins. You decide. Done.

### What makes it different

- **🚫 No dashboards** — Works inside Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP client
- **📊 Keepa-powered** — Real price history and BSR tracking, not estimates
- **🎯 Opportunity Score** — 0-100 niche score based on demand, competition, and margin potential
- **🏭 Full sourcing pipeline** — Amazon → Alibaba → AliExpress, all connected
- **💰 Profit calculator** — Full P&L with FBA fees, shipping, PPC ads, refunds, and ROI
- **⚡ 30-second setup** — No install. No config file editing. Just an API key and one JSON block

---

## ⚡ Quick Start

### 1. Get an API key (free)

Sign up at [lumnix.dev](https://lumnix.dev) — no credit card required. Get your key in 30 seconds.

### 2. Add to your MCP client

**Claude Desktop** — edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lumnix": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://lumnix.dev/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

> ⚠️ Claude Desktop doesn't support remote MCP URLs natively. The `mcp-remote` bridge (auto-installed by npx) makes it work. Requires Node.js installed.

**Cursor** — Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lumnix": {
      "url": "https://lumnix.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Windsurf / Cline / any MCP client** — same pattern as Cursor. URL + Bearer token header.

### 3. Start researching

Restart your AI client. Then just talk naturally:

> *"Search Amazon for portable blenders with high sales and low reviews"*

That's it. No Docker. No config files to debug.
