Calling all AI agent builders — we are launching a developer challenge with real prizes.
Grand prize: M3 MacBook Air + $1,000 in BuyWhere API credits + featured on buywhere.ai
Runner-up: $500 credits + swag
Community Favorite: $250 credits + swag
What You Build
Build an AI agent (chatbot, copilot, shopping assistant — anything) that uses at least 2 BuyWhere MCP tools. That is it.
No prior commerce experience needed. No credit card required. Just a free API key and an idea.
The Tools You Get
BuyWhere gives your AI agent access to:
-
search_products— Real-time product search across 50M+ products in 6 markets -
get_product— Full product details including pricing, merchant info, and availability -
compare_products— Side-by-side price comparison across merchants -
search_merchants— Discover merchants by category, region, or name -
search_by_image— Upload an image and find matching products
Plug into Claude, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP client in under 60 seconds.
How to Enter
- Get your API key → buywhere.ai/challenge
- Build your agent using BuyWhere MCP tools or REST API
- Submit via GitHub issue — include your repo URL, a demo link, and a short description
Judging
Each submission is scored on:
- Utility (40%) — Does it solve a real shopping problem?
- MCP Usage (30%) — How well does it integrate BuyWhere tools?
- Polish (20%) — Clean build, clear instructions, error handling
- Creativity (10%) — Bonus for novel agent patterns or unique integrations
Why This Matters
The AI agent ecosystem is accelerating. Claude, GPT, Gemini — they all support MCP natively. But agents need real data. BuyWhere is the commerce infrastructure layer.
This challenge is about showing what is possible when AI agents have access to live product catalogs, real pricing, and actual merchant data.
