Mandarake Surugaya MCP

What mandarake-surugaya-mcp does

The mandarake-surugaya-mcp MCP server gives AI agents access to marketplace searches for Japanese collectibles. It covers Mandarake auction listings, Suruga-ya product prices, and Rakuten Ichiba products. Rakuten searches use the official Rakuten API, while the other marketplace tools provide listing and price information for keyword queries.

The server is suited to questions such as finding a collectible across several marketplaces, checking used and list prices on Suruga-ya, or identifying which supported marketplace has the lowest matching price. Results can include listing or product names, prices, and marketplace-specific details such as auction bids, watchers, store information, or stock status when available.

Tools and capabilities

Available MCP tools include:

• search_mandarake_auction: searches Mandarake auction listings by keyword.
• search_surugaya: searches Suruga-ya product prices by keyword.
• search_rakuten: searches Rakuten Ichiba products through the official API.
• compare_prices: cross-references matching prices across Suruga-ya, Mandarake, and Rakuten.
• get_actor_info: lists available tools and usage information.

All tools are exposed together, so an agent can call individual marketplace searches or use compare_prices for a combined result. The comparison output is intended to present marketplace prices in a unified view and identify the lowest listed option among the results.

Setup and configuration

The mandarake-surugaya-mcp MCP server is available as a hosted Apify actor endpoint. For Claude Desktop, add the Streamable HTTP URL below to the MCP server configuration:

https://fruitful_quintessence--mandarake-surugaya-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

Claude Code can register the same endpoint with the HTTP transport. Other MCP clients can connect using the /mcp endpoint, and the README also documents an SSE endpoint at /sse. The published setup does not require an API key; clients only need to be configured with the endpoint URL.

The server is named mandarake-surugaya in the example client configurations, while the repository and actor use mandarake-surugaya-mcp. It runs on Apify, and the README notes that Apify MCP Connectors can connect the underlying actors to Slack, Notion, Supabase, or GitHub from the actor run screen.

Limitations and notes

The mandarake-surugaya-mcp MCP server is focused on search and price comparison. The provided material does not describe purchase, bidding, inventory changes, account actions, or order management tools. Price comparisons should therefore be treated as search results rather than a transaction workflow.

The documented pricing is $0.001 per call for the marketplace search and comparison tools, with get_actor_info listed as free. Apify may also charge $0.001 per actor start and $0.00001 per result item for dataset storage. A typical single query is estimated at $0.001–$0.002, but the final cost depends on the run and result count. Apify provides free platform credits for new users according to the README.
