Tools & capabilities
Bikefuchs — Bike Parts Price Comparison tools 7
search_productSearch for bicycle parts, components, accessories, and cycling clothing by name, brand, or model number. Returns matching products sorted cheapest-first, each with its price, stock status, EAN barcode, and a direct purchase link. Supports DE and AT pricing. If you already have a product's EAN, use get_best_price instead.get_best_priceLook up a single product by its EAN barcode and return the price at every shop that carries it, sorted cheapest-first, with stock status and direct purchase links.optimize_cartFind the cheapest way to buy multiple products together: computes the optimal split across shops — which items to order from which shop — accounting for each shop's shipping costs and free-shipping thresholds, and returns the lowest achievable total including shipping. Takes an array of EAN barcodes. For accurate results, call get_best_price for each EAN first, then call optimize_cart.get_shop_infoReturn an overview of the supported shops, including their shipping cost tiers, free-shipping thresholds, and supported countries (DE and AT).get_shipping_breakdownReturn the exact shipping cost for a specific shop, country, and cart value, including all shipping tiers and how much more is needed to reach the next free-shipping threshold.find_alternatives_for_productGiven a product's EAN barcode, return every shop that carries it with prices and availability, sorted cheapest-first.resolve_productTurn a product page URL from a supported shop into structured product data — EAN barcode, price, stock status, and a purchase link — so the EAN can then be used with get_best_price or optimize_cart. Multi-variant product families return a labeled candidate list (size/colour, price, EAN per variant): ask the user to pick a variant, then use that exact variant's EAN with the other tools.

A directory returns its readable files.searchSearch documents for text: one file, many files, whole directories (recursive, .gitignore aware), or URLs, across every format read supports. Returns each hit as file + page/slide/sheet + a snippet with the match in bold. mode auto (default) finds the exact phrase and falls back to BM25-ranked passages when there is none; literal or ranked force one.
