MCP server overview

Drop @retailerapi/mcp into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor. Six product-data tools become available to your AI agent.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard from Anthropic, released in November 2024, for giving AI assistants access to external tools. By 2026 it is supported in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and dozens of other agents. retailerapi ships an MCP server (@retailerapi/mcp) that exposes five product-data tools.

What you get

lookup_product — resolve identifier into product summary
price_history — return time-series for a product
get_offers — current sellers list for a Walmart item
get_seller — Walmart seller profile
get_reviews — reviews summary + sample top reviews

Why use it

Real product data inside any MCP-compatible AI agent, no glue code
Token-billed against your retailerapi account (same plan as REST API)
Stdio transport — universal compatibility, no servers to host
Open source under MIT (github.com/retailerapi/mcp)

Setup

See MCP setup for step-by-step instructions for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor.
