Overview

BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp MCP server gives AI agents access to a cross-border product catalog covering Singapore, Southeast Asia, and US markets. It exposes MCP tools for keyword and category search, product details, side-by-side comparisons, price discovery, deals, similar products, and catalog ingestion. Run it locally with the npm package and a BUYWHERE_API_KEY, or connect to the documented remote MCP endpoint. Reach for it when an agent needs product research, regional availability checks, or shopping recommendations rather than store-management operations.

Use cases

  • Search products available in a specific country
  • Compare products across merchants
  • Find the lowest deliverable product price
  • Discover products with significant price drops
  • Build an AI shopping recommendation agent

Key features

  • Cross-border product catalog search
  • Product details with prices, specs, and images
  • Side-by-side comparison for 2–10 products
  • Merchant price and deal discovery
  • Delivery-aware v2 search and pricing tools
  • Similar-product and catalog-ingestion tools

How Buywhere MCP works

What BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp does

BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp MCP server exposes product catalog and price-comparison operations to MCP-compatible AI clients. The catalog contains more than 3 million products and covers Singapore, the United States, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam markets according to the project material. Agents can search by keyword, category, price range, and country, then retrieve structured information such as prices, specifications, and images.

The server is intended for agent commerce workflows, including product recommendations, cross-border research, comparison shopping, and deal discovery. It is described as a product search API rather than a system for managing an online store.

How it works

The package runs as an MCP server and communicates with clients through the standard MCP interface. A local installation uses the npm package with an API key supplied through the environment. The project also documents a remote endpoint at https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp, using JSON-RPC 2.0 and protocol version 2024-11-05.

BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients listed by the project.

Setup and configuration

Install the local server with Node.js and npm:

server.ts
export BUYWHERE_API_KEY=bw_live_xxxx
npx -y @buywhere/mcp-server

An API key can be obtained through the BuyWhere API-key page or by registering with the documented POST https://api.buywhere.ai/v1/auth/register request. Configure the same command and environment variable in the MCP settings for the client you use. The example configurations use npx -y @buywhere/mcp-server, which avoids an interactive npm confirmation prompt.

The BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp MCP server can also be used through the hosted MCP endpoint instead of running the npm package locally.

Tools and capabilities

The server documents these operations:

  • Search products by keyword, category, price, or country.
  • Fetch product details by ID, including prices, specifications, and images.
  • Compare between two and ten products side by side.
  • Find the lowest-priced deliverable listing across merchants.
  • Find products with significant price drops.
  • List the available product-category taxonomy.
  • Find similar products using vector similarity.
  • Submit product URLs for catalog ingestion.

Version 2 tools add delivery-aware behavior. search_products_v2, get_deals_v2, and find_best_price_v2 require a deliver_to ISO country value; compare_products_v2 accepts it optionally, and get_product_v2 retrieves product details by ID.

Limitations and notes

Requests require a BuyWhere API key for the local package. Product prices, merchant listings, and delivery results may depend on the selected market and, for v2 operations, the destination country. The repository is licensed under MIT.
