A side-by-side look at the Stierproducts tier lists and HOTLIKESHOP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Stierproducts tier lists for e-commerce work over a hosted endpoint; choose HOTLIKESHOP for e-commerce over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

list_categoriesList the product categories that have a published tier list, newest research first. Call this first when you do not already know the exact category slug: slugs cannot be guessed reliably and every other tool takes one.search_productsFind ranked products by name or brand across every board. Returns the slug, category and tier for each match, which is what get_product and get_tier_list need next.get_tier_listThe full S-to-F tier list for one category: every ranked product with its tier, rank, LP, verdict, pros, cons, citation counts, GTIN barcodes and, where the maker published one, the announcement date. This is the primary tool and one call answers a "what is the best X" question completely. Call get_product for the quotes behind a placement.get_productEverything held on one product: its placement, verdict, pros and cons, GTIN barcodes, the announcement date where the maker published one, and a breakdown of how the cited sources read (how many were glowing, positive, neutral or negative, and whether they were outlets, named authors, video channels or forum owners). Then every citation in full, with a verbatim quote, who said it, and whether the link was fetched and confirmed. Use this when a claim needs backing up.compare_productsCompare two to five products side by side. They must share a category: LP is points on one category ladder and comparing across boards is meaningless, so a mixed request is refused rather than answered misleadingly.what_to_avoidThe products the research placed in the bottom tiers, and the ones it deliberately entered as traps buyers cross-shop but should not buy. Use it to answer "what should I not buy" and to check whether a product a user is considering was flagged.search_productsSearch the public catalog by keyword in the product name; returns id, name, price (VND), stock, category and url. Read-only, no api_key required. WHEN TO USE: the user already has a search term or product name. PREFER INSTEAD: list_categories + list_category_products to browse without a keyword, best_sellers for "popular", latest_products for "new", get_product for the full detail of one id. Not for buying — pass a found id to quote_order. Tìm sản phẩm công khai theo tên; chỉ đọc, không cần api_key.get_productGet the full public detail of ONE product by its numeric id: name, price (VND), stock, category, long description and url. Read-only, no api_key required. WHEN TO USE: after search_products / list_category_products / best_sellers gave you an id and the user wants the full description of that single item. PREFER INSTEAD: compare_products to evaluate 2-5 ids at once, similar_products to find alternatives. Requires a known product id (not a name). Not for buying — pass the id to quote_order. Xem chi tiết 1 sản phẩm công khai theo id (kèm mô tả); chỉ đọc, không cần api_key.list_categoriesList every public category with its id, name and in-stock product count. Read-only, takes no parameters, no api_key required. WHEN TO USE: call this FIRST to discover the category taxonomy and get the category_id values required by list_category_products, best_sellers, latest_products and recommend_products. PREFER INSTEAD: search_products when the user already has a keyword, or how_to_start for onboarding. This only lists categories — it does not return individual products.

PREFER INSTEAD: search_products for keyword search across all categories, best_sellers to rank a category by sales, recommend_products to filter by budget, latest_products for newest.

Computed on the server in-memory only, never stored or logged. Free, no api_key required. WHEN TO USE: the user has an authenticator secret key (from an account they bought or own) and needs the live TOTP code now.

Sinh mã 2FA/TOTP hiện tại (6 số) từ khóa bí mật Base32; tính cục bộ, không lưu, không gửi đi đâu.check_live_facebookCheck whether ONE Facebook UID (numeric) is live or dead via the public profile-picture endpoint (server-side). Read-only, free, no api_key required. Facebook blocks datacenter IPs, so if it cannot verify it returns status "needs_proxy" — pass your own "proxy" to check reliably. WHEN TO USE: a single Facebook UID. PREFER INSTEAD: check_health_bulk for many accounts at once or for Instagram/Telegram/TikTok, deep_inspect for a detailed profile (followers, bio, media). Kiểm tra 1 UID Facebook (số) sống/chết; FB chặn IP máy chủ nên nếu không check được sẽ trả "needs_proxy" — truyền "proxy" riêng để check chuẩn.check_health_bulkBulk live/dead check for MANY accounts at once (max 20 per call): Facebook UID (numeric) or Instagram/Telegram/TikTok usernames.

Read-only, free, no api_key required. IG/FB block datacenter IPs → if it cannot read it returns status "needs_proxy"; pass your own "proxy" to read reliably. WHEN TO USE: you want rich detail about one profile. PREFER INSTEAD: check_health_bulk to sweep many accounts for live/dead only, check_live_facebook for a quick single-UID liveness check.
