pangolinfo-mcp

Pangolinfo MCP server — 18 Amazon e-commerce & IP data tools for AI assistants via Model Context Protocol.

🔗 Official site: www.pangolinfo.com

Plug your favorite AI client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Codex, Hermes, OpenClaw) into Pangolinfo's Amazon Scraper APIs and let the AI run real-time ad tracking, Sponsored Products analysis, VOC sentiment analysis, keyword monitoring, and competitor product audit — plus keyword research, listing analysis, review mining, niche discovery, category navigation, AI search lookups, keyword-trend checks, and WIPO trademark clearance — all from natural-language instructions.

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGE in 0.7.0 — pacer_search retired, merged into wipo_search

The standalone pacer_search tool was removed. US patent-litigation (PACER) lookups are now reached by passing enableLitigation=true to wipo_search — it finds the patent and joins the related US litigation cases in a single call. Prompts/scripts pinning pacer_search will get ToolNotFound; switch to wipo_search with enableLitigation.

Earlier breaking change (0.3.0 — tool renames)

Old name (≤ 0.2.x)	New name (0.3.0+)
google_ai_search	ai_search
google_trends	keyword_trends

Tool names changed to remove third-party brand references from the public MCP interface. Tool parameters, return shape, and pricing are unchanged.

Install

Recommended: one-line installer (covers 7 AI clients)

The Pangolinfo Installer detects your AI client, writes the right config files, and you're done. Pass --scope=mcp to install only this MCP server (skip the Skills package).

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://pangolinfo.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- \
  --agent=<your-agent> \
  --scope=mcp \
  --api-key=pgl_xxxxxxxxxxxx

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://pangolinfo.dev/install.ps1 | iex; `
  Install-Pangolinfo -Agent <your-agent> -Scope mcp -ApiKey pgl_xxxxxxxxxxxx

<your-agent> is one of: claude-code, cursor, cline, windsurf, codex, hermes, openclaw.

After the installer finishes, restart your AI client so it picks up the new mcpServers entry.

Manual install (just download one file)

The release artifact is a single self-contained server.mjs (~800 KB) — all dependencies are bundled in. No npm install needed.

# macOS / Linux
mkdir -p ~/.local/lib/pangolinfo-mcp
curl -fsSL https://github.com/pangolinfo/pangolinfo-mcp/releases/latest/download/server.mjs \
  -o ~/.local/lib/pangolinfo-mcp/server.mjs
chmod +x ~/.local/lib/pangolinfo-mcp/server.mjs

# Windows (PowerShell)
$dir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\pangolinfo-mcp"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $dir | Out-Null
irm https://github.com/pangolinfo/pangolinfo-mcp/releases/latest/download/server.mjs `
  -OutFile "$dir\server.mjs"

Then wire it into your AI client — see the per-client snippets below. Point args at the file you just downloaded.

Developers: to build from source, git clone this repo and run npm install && npm run build. The produced dist/server.mjs is identical to the release asset.

Get an API key

1. Sign up at https://tool.pangolinfo.com/#/en/system/loading?sourceTag=github_amz
2. Copy your pgl_xxxxxxxx key from the dashboard
3. Top up credits if needed (each Amazon Scraper API call costs 0.75 credits; pangolinfo_capabilities is free)

Manual configuration (per AI client)

Replace /abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs with your real path, and pgl_xxxxxxxx with your key.

Claude Code (~/.claude/settings.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "PANGOLINFO_API_KEY": "pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Prefer claude mcp add --scope user pangolinfo node /abs/path/to/dist/server.mjs — it writes the same entry without hand-editing JSON.

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "PANGOLINFO_API_KEY": "pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Open Cline → MCP Servers → Edit settings JSON, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "PANGOLINFO_API_KEY": "pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

The settings file lives at <vscode-user>/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json. If you're on the standalone Cline CLI, use ~/.cline/data/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json instead.

Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "PANGOLINFO_API_KEY": "pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.pangolinfo]
command = "node"
args = ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"]

[mcp_servers.pangolinfo.env]
PANGOLINFO_API_KEY = "pgl_xxxxxxxx"

Hermes (~/.hermes/config.yaml)

mcp_servers:
  pangolinfo:
    command: node
    args: ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"]
    env:
      PANGOLINFO_API_KEY: pgl_xxxxxxxx

OpenClaw (~/.openclaw/openclaw.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/abs/path/to/pangolinfo-mcp/dist/server.mjs"],
      "env": { "PANGOLINFO_API_KEY": "pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

Hosted (remote HTTP) — no local install

Don't want to install anything? Point your AI client at the hosted endpoint instead of a local server.mjs. This is the streamable HTTP transport (MCP spec), multi-tenant — you bring your own key on every request.

Passing your API key — two ways

1. Authorization header (recommended)

Authorization: Bearer pgl_xxxxxxxx

This is the preferred method: the key stays out of URLs, logs, and browser history. The Bearer scheme is matched case-insensitively (bearer, BEARER, Bearer all work) and extra whitespace is tolerated.

2. ?api_key= URL query (fallback)

https://mcp.pangolinfo.com/mcp?api_key=pgl_xxxxxxxx

Easiest for clients that only let you paste a URL. If your key contains URL-special characters, URL-encode it. The header (method 1) takes precedence if both are supplied.

Client config example (Claude Code / Cursor — "url"-style remote MCP)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pangolinfo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.pangolinfo.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer pgl_xxxxxxxx" }
    }
  }
}

If your client can't set headers, fall back to the URL form: "url": "https://mcp.pangolinfo.com/mcp?api_key=pgl_xxxxxxxx".

Notes for custom / raw HTTP integrations

If you're calling the endpoint directly (not through a standard MCP client):

• POST your JSON-RPC body to /mcp.
• The MCP streamable transport normally requires the request to advertise both application/json and text/event-stream in its Accept header. This server backfills the missing media type for you, so a plain Accept: application/json, Accept: */*, or even a missing Accept header all work — you don't need to hand-craft it.
• A 401 means the key was not found in either the header or the query string — check that your client actually sent it (some libraries drop the Authorization header on cross-origin redirects).
