CSPriceAPI – CS2 skin prices

What CSPriceAPI – CS2 skin prices does

CSPriceAPI – CS2 skin prices exposes CS2 marketplace data through the Model Context Protocol. It is designed for questions that require comparing listings or market signals across sources such as BUFF163, YouPin, C5Game, EcoSteam, SkinBaron, Skinport, CSFloat, LIS-SKINS, DMarket, ShadowPay, Waxpeer, Market.CSGO, and YouPin898.

The service can identify exact market_hash_name values from loose descriptions, compare the lowest listings and listing counts, and return an approximate USD conversion. Doppler queries can include individual phases. Depending on the subscription plan, it also covers YouPin buy orders, float-specific prices, historical prices, and recent sales with item details such as floats, patterns, and stickers.

How it works

The server is hosted remotely at https://api.cspriceapi.com/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP, so there is no local MCP server package to install. An MCP-compatible client sends natural-language requests to the endpoint, which invokes the relevant read-only tool.

Free preview access does not require a key. It supports find_items and get_prices for one item per request, with five lookups per day. Preview prices may come from a snapshot as much as six hours old. An API key enables data refreshed approximately every five minutes, requests for up to 50 items, and tools included in the selected plan.

CSPriceAPI – CS2 skin prices does not place orders, buy or sell items, or access marketplace accounts. Marketplace prices remain in their original currencies; price_usd is an approximate conversion based on ECB rates.

Setup and configuration

Configure the remote URL in the MCP client of your choice. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code examples are provided in the project documentation. Clients that support custom connectors can use the same endpoint directly; the README also documents a ChatGPT connector setup.

For authenticated use, send the key in either the x-api-key header or an Authorization: Bearer header. Claude Desktop and VS Code examples use a secret client-side key variable, while Cursor and Claude Code show the header directly in their MCP configuration. The unauthenticated preview is available through the endpoint, including custom connector configurations that cannot send a key header.

Limitations and notes

CSPriceAPI – CS2 skin prices is read-only and does not provide trading actions or account access. Tool availability depends on the subscription tier, and the no-key preview is limited in both request volume and freshness. The service also exposes the underlying data through a REST API and OpenAPI specification, but those interfaces are separate from MCP client configuration.
