BuyWhere Is on Product Hunt Today: The MCP Server for AI Agent Commerce

#mcp #ai #ecommerce #opensource

Today we launched BuyWhere on Product Hunt.

BuyWhere is an open-source MCP server that lets AI agents search, compare, and discover real products across 50M+ items in 6 markets. It works with any MCP-compatible client — Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, VS Code.

The problem it solves:

AI agents lack access to structured, real-time commerce data. Without it, they hallucinate prices, scrape fragile HTML, or can't shop at all.

BuyWhere exposes 5 MCP tools:

Tool What It Does
search_products Natural language product search with filters
get_product Full details — specs, price, availability
compare_products Side-by-side comparison across markets
get_deals Active promotions and price drops
list_categories Category taxonomy

Each returns structured JSON. The agent reasons over real data, not guesses.

Quick start:

  1. Get free API key: https://buywhere.ai/api-keys
  2. npx -y @buywhere/mcp-server
  3. Configure in your MCP client
  4. Ask: "Search for Sony WH-1000XM5 and find the best price across Singapore, Japan, and the US"

Why the MCP for ecommerce category matters:

The MCP ecosystem has servers for databases, file systems, web search, and APIs. But product search has been underserved — especially cross-market product search.

BuyWhere is the first MCP server purpose-built for cross-border AI agent commerce. The category is wide open. We're building in public.
