Documentation Overview

Freebox MCP Server

Give your AI assistant the ability to find free stuff near you — and know what it's worth.

Freebox tracks free curbside and giveaway listings across 400+ US metros, prices every find with an LLM valuation chain, and ranks them by estimated resale value. This remote MCP server exposes that feed to Claude and any other MCP client.

Endpoint: https://usefreebox.com/api/mcp
Auth: OAuth 2.1 (one-click connect from Claude) — or manual keys at usefreebox.com/app/connect
Docs / connect guide: usefreebox.com/ai

Connect (Claude)

Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
Paste https://usefreebox.com/api/mcp
Sign in / create a Freebox account when redirected, approve, done.

Then just ask: "find free stuff near me worth over $100 and save the best to my vault."

Tools

Tool	What it does
`find_free_stuff`	Search live free listings near a ZIP, ranked by estimated resale value + profit
`area_summary`	Counts and total estimated value of free finds around a ZIP
`save_to_vault` / `my_vault` / `remove_from_vault`	Save and manage finds
`create_alert` / `my_alerts` / `delete_alert`	Get pinged when a high-value find drops nearby

What's behind it

A Craigslist/OfferUp scraper across 400+ US metros feeding a Supabase index; every listing priced by an LLM chain (Groq → Cerebras → NVIDIA) tuned on 30k+ resale valuations; a distance ladder so any US ZIP returns real nearby inventory. Values are estimates, not guarantees.

Freebox is a paid app ($2.49/wk, $39.99/yr, or $99 lifetime) — connecting and browsing teasers is free; the full ranked feed requires a subscription.
