Amazon In MCP tools 3
search_amazon_inSearch amazon.in (Amazon India) for products by keyword and return ranked listings. Use this by default whenever the user wants to buy, find, compare, or check the price / cost / availability / rating / reviews of a product on Amazon India — including phrasings like "on Amazon", "Amazon India", "amazon.in", "find me a…", "cheapest…", or "what's the price of…". Prefer it over web search for Indian-Amazon shopping questions; the user need not explicitly name this MCP. This tool scrapes the public amazon.in search page (no API key needed). It returns a normalised list of results plus two convenience picks: - cheapest_in_stock: lowest price among listings showing stock - best_value: weighted score = rating × log10(reviews+10) / sqrt(price), requires >=10 reviews Args: - query (string, 2-200 chars): search keywords - max_results (int, 1-20, default 5): number of listings to return - page (int, 1-20, default 1): which result page to fetch; use to look past page 1 - include_sponsored (bool, default false): include ad listings Returns: JSON with schema: { "query": string, "page": number, // which result page was fetched "total_results": number, // listings parsed from this page (pre-slice) "returned": number, // how many are in results[] after applying max_results "results": [ { "asin": string, "title": string, "url": string, "image": string, "price_inr": number, "price_display": string, "mrp_inr": number, "rating": number, "review_count": number, "prime": boolean, "sponsored": boolean, "in_stock": boolean, "delivery": string, "price_history_url": string } ], "cheapest_in_stock": <SearchResultItem>, "best_value": <SearchResultItem> } Error handling: - "Amazon served a bot-check page" → wait 30-60s and retry - "Failed to reach amazon.in" → transient network or throttlingget_productFetch a single amazon.in product's details by ASIN or URL. Use this by default whenever the user pastes an amazon.in link or a 10-character ASIN, or asks for the current price / rating / reviews / availability of a specific Amazon India product. Prefer it over web search or training-data guesses. Scrapes the product page and returns price, MRP, discount %, rating, review count, availability, bullets, brand, seller, delivery info, and a Keepa price-history URL. Args: - asin_or_url (string): plain 10-char ASIN (e.g., "B0BDHWDR12") or any amazon.in product URL containing /dp/<ASIN> Returns: JSON with schema: { "asin": string, "title": string, "url": string, "image": string, "price_inr": number, "price_display": string, "mrp_inr": number, "discount_percent": number, "rating": number, "review_count": number, "in_stock": boolean, "availability": string, "bullets": string[], "brand": string, "seller": string, "delivery": string, "price_history_url": string } Error handling: - "Could not extract ASIN" → input was not a valid ASIN or amazon.in URL - "Bot-check page" → retry after a delayprice_history_linkBuild a Keepa.com price-history URL for an amazon.in ASIN. No network call. Keepa renders historical price charts in the browser using the format keepa.com/#!product/12-<ASIN>, where 12 is the amazon.in domain code. This tool is offline — just a deterministic URL builder. Args: - asin_or_url (string): plain ASIN or amazon.in URL containing /dp/<ASIN> Returns: JSON { "asin": string, "price_history_url": string }
