MCP server overview

Drop @retailerapi/mcp into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor. Two 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 two product-data tools.

What you get

lookup_product — resolve identifier into product summary (price history, stats, computed marketplace fees included free; offers + reviews ride inside via include_offers_reviews; cross-retailer cells via include_cross_retailer)
get_offers — current sellers list for a Walmart item

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.
