Documentation Overview
SplitBasket Grocery Prices — MCP server & data API
Cached US grocery prices for developers and agents, from the price panel behind
SplitBasket. Every price carries its observation
date; the API tells you what it can answer at a location before you ask, and
returns found: false rather than a plausible wrong number.

search_products | Find products near a location, with the price each nearby store last showed |
get_price | The cached price of one exact product (banner + product_id) at one place |
compare_price | Best match at each banner for one query, ranked on canonical unit price |
coverage | What the API can actually answer at a location — call this first in an unfamiliar area |
live_check | Fetch from the retailer right now (paid tier); returns a job id + measured ETA |

Coverage, honestly
Two layers (measured weekly — 2026-08-09; coverage is the runtime source of truth):
- National layer — six banners: Walmart, Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sam's Club, Aldi. 51 states (incl. DC) with at least one priced, 2+ banner comparison in 50, 3+ in 46 (measured 2026-08-11). These stores are priced weekly against a ~43-item staples basket.
- Deep metros — San Francisco, Fresno, Phoenix, Austin: 7–17 banners with full shopping catalogs.
Prices are cached observations, not live quotes. Exact-match rate by cache age,
measured over 275k observation pairs: 99.6% under a day, 93.8% at a week, 79.9%
at 30 days. Every row carries price_as_of and price_age_days; pass
max_age_days to enforce what your use case tolerates.
What this deliberately is not
- No basket optimizer. To estimate a basket, call
compare_priceper item and sum it yourself. - No state-level answers where prices measurably don't hold state-wide. Chain-wide for target, smartandfinal, bashas, frys, foodsco — and per-state where a chain is bimodal: Costco in ten measured states, Whole Foods in CA and NV. Measured, not assumed; the demote list tracks the weekly panel.
- No blended accuracy score. Price staleness is bimodal: a stale price is either exactly right or meaningfully wrong, so we disclose age instead of averaging it away.
