Ebay Overview

Ebay MCP server exposes eBay’s Browse and Taxonomy APIs through three MCP tools backed by client-credentials OAuth. It searches active US listings, retrieves full item data, and resolves category hierarchies for narrower searches. Connect through the hosted Pipeworx MCP endpoint or run the npm stdio bridge, which forwards requests to the same gateway. Reach for it when an agent needs current eBay marketplace data rather than checkout or seller-management operations.

Primary Use Cases for Ebay:
  • Search active US listings by query, price, or category
  • Retrieve full details for a selected eBay item
  • Browse eBay categories before constructing a filtered search
  • Compare listing prices and conditions from search results
