Tools & capabilities
AllMCPs Server tools 13
search_mcp_serversSearch the AllMCPs directory for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by keyword or category.get_mcp_install_configGet setup for one MCP server by ID: the config for every major client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Codex, Gemini CLI, JetBrains, Roo Code, Continue, LM Studio) plus its documentation. Pass `client` for just one.get_mcp_alternativesList alternative MCP servers to a given server ID — same category, ranked by fit and evidence that they work.compare_mcp_serversCompare 2 to 4 MCP servers side by side: transport, install command, evidence they work, tool count and source, health, GitHub stars, last commit and quality score.recommend_mcp_stackRecommend a small stack of complementary MCP servers for a role or workflow (e.g. "fullstack web app", "data science", "devops on AWS"), drawn from a live directory search.list_mcp_categoriesList all categories available in the AllMCPs directory along with server counts.get_boost_pricingGet pricing and features for boosting / featuring an MCP server on AllMCPs.com.boost_mcp_serverInitiate a sponsorship / boost order for an MCP server by ID, returning a Stripe checkout session URL and x402 invoice.get_boost_statusCheck current boost status, verified badge level, and sponsorship expiration for an MCP server by ID.submit_mcp_serverProgrammatically submit a new MCP server repository to AllMCPs.com for indexing and review. Supports the same optional enrichment fields as the human submission form — fill in whichever you can confidently determine from the repository (README, package.json, code) to produce a fully flushed-out listing. Omit anything you are not confident about rather than guessing; all enrichment fields are optional and unrecognized enum values are simply dropped, not rejected.verify_mcp_claimVerify ownership and claim an MCP server listing by checking GitHub README badge, website badge, or DNS TXT record. Works two ways: (1) fully unattended — pass `agentToken` from confirm_mcp_agent (or set an `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header if your client supports it), no human sign-in needed; or (2) if called with neither, requires the caller to already have an active AllMCPs browser session. Unattended agents should use register_mcp_agent + confirm_mcp_agent first.register_mcp_agentStart unattended-agent registration: emails a 6-digit confirmation code to the given address. Follow up with confirm_mcp_agent to exchange the code for a bearer token, which unlocks verify_mcp_claim (and future privileged tools) without ever needing a human to sign in via browser.- +1 more on the listing page
Buywhere MCP tools 13
search_productsSearch the BuyWhere product catalog by keyword. Treat deliver_to as REQUIRED for buyer-facing use (ISO-3166 country of the end user); it takes precedence over country_code/country and prevents all-market scans. Returns product records with title, description, image, price, and merchant information. Covers e-commerce platforms across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and US. Use compact=true for agent-optimized responses with structured_specs, comparison_attributes, and normalized_price_usd fields. BUY-74597 degraded contract: when the catalog query cannot complete inside the user-facing timeout, this tool returns a 200-OK envelope with `meta.status="degraded"`, `meta.emptiness_reason="api_error"` with `meta.degraded_kind="timeout"` (or `"partial_timeout"` / `"auth_failure"`), `meta.confidence="low"`, and `meta.diagnostic.timed_out_stage` naming the failed stage (catalog_search / offer_aggregation / merchant_join). It never returns an unqualified empty result when the cause is timeout, auth failure, upstream exception, or circuit breaker. Agents should branch on `meta.degraded === true` (or `meta.status === "degraded"`) instead of treating empty `data` as no_match.get_productGet a specific product by its ID, including full details and current price.compare_productsCompare multiple products side-by-side. Returns price, brand, rating, and category for each.get_dealsGet discounted products sorted by discount percentage. Returns schema.org/Product entities with schema.org/Offer properties: price, priceCurrency, availability, originalPrice, and discountPercentage. Covers Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and US e-commerce. Supports currency, region (sea, us, eu, au) and country (SG, US, VN, MY, ...) filters. BUY-74597 degraded contract: when the discount-index scan cannot complete inside the user-facing timeout, this tool returns a 200-OK envelope with `meta.status="degraded"`, `meta.emptiness_reason="api_error"` with `meta.degraded_kind="timeout"` (or `"partial_timeout"` / `"auth_failure"`), `meta.confidence="low"`, and `meta.diagnostic.timed_out_stage` (typically `offer_aggregation`). It never returns an unqualified empty result when the cause is timeout, auth failure, upstream exception, or circuit breaker. Branch on `meta.degraded === true` or `meta.status === "degraded"`.list_categoriesList top-level product categories available in the BuyWhere catalog.find_best_priceUse this whenever a user asks about prices, wants to find the cheapest option, or asks "what's the best price for X" or "where can I buy X for the lowest price". Returns schema.org/Product entities with schema.org/AggregateOffer (lowPrice, offerCount, priceCurrency) across all merchants. BUY-74597 degraded contract: when the candidates query cannot complete inside the user-facing timeout, this tool returns a 200-OK envelope with `meta.degraded=true`, `meta.status="degraded"`, `meta.emptiness_reason="api_error"` with `meta.degraded_kind="timeout"` (or `"partial_timeout"` / `"auth_failure"`), `meta.confidence="low"`, and `meta.diagnostic.timed_out_stage="catalog_search"`, with `best_price=null` and `alternatives=[]`. It never returns an unqualified empty result when the cause is timeout, auth failure, upstream exception, or circuit breaker.find_similarFind products similar to a given product using vector similarity. Returns up to 10 nearest neighbours by semantic meaning (title+description embedding). Useful for "more like this" recommendations.ingest_productsIngest (upsert) a batch of products into the BuyWhere catalog. Use this to add or update product listings from any merchant/source. Requires a valid API key with ingest permissions. Accepts up to 1000 products per call with source, SKU, title, price, URL, and optional metadata.search_products_v2REQUIRED deliver_to. Search the BuyWhere product catalog by keyword. The deliver_to parameter is REQUIRED (ISO country code, e.g. "SG", "US") — it takes precedence over country_code/country and prevents all-market scans. Always pass deliver_to="SG" (or your buyer's country). Returns product records with title, description, image, price, and merchant information. Covers e-commerce platforms across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and US. Use compact=true for agent-optimized responses with structured_specs, comparison_attributes, and normalized_price_usd fields.get_product_v2REQUIRED deliver_to. Get a specific product by its ID, including full details and current price. Always pass deliver_to="SG" (or your buyer's country). Response includes a resolved outbound_url (https://…) that routes the buyer through the BuyWhere click tracker when the product has merchant offers.compare_products_v2REQUIRED deliver_to. Compare multiple products side-by-side. Always pass deliver_to="SG" (or your buyer's country). Returns price, brand, rating, category, and a resolved outbound_url per product for the buyer market.get_deals_v2REQUIRED deliver_to. Get discounted products sorted by discount percentage. Always pass deliver_to="SG" (or your buyer's country). Returns schema.org/Product entities with schema.org/Offer properties: price, priceCurrency, availability, originalPrice, and discountPercentage. Covers Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and US e-commerce. Supports currency, region (sea, us, eu, au) and country (SG, US, VN, MY, ...) filters.- +1 more on the listing page
