BuyWhere MCP Server: 296M+ Products Live for AI Agents

#ai #mcp #ecommerce #agents

BuyWhere is now agent-native

We just shipped the BuyWhere MCP server at https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp — an 8-tool Model Context Protocol endpoint that any AI agent can connect to for real-time product discovery, price comparison, and deal hunting across our 296,510,560-product catalog (live count: 293.5M active).

Why an MCP server?

Modern AI agents need a structured way to shop — not a wall of HTML to scrape. The MCP standard gives Claude, Cursor, custom agents, and LangChain a clean tool-use surface. One HTTP transport, eight well-typed tools, free tier available (1,000 calls/month).

The eight tools

search_products — full-text search with q, country_code, region, category, merchant, min_price, max_price, compact. The flagship tool. Pass deliver_to: "SG" to rank results by whether they actually ship to Singapore.
get_product — full detail by product UUID (price, brand, specs, ratings, availability).
compare_products — side-by-side compare 2–10 products with normalized price + currency.
find_best_price — the cheapest deliverable listing for a product name + country.
get_deals — curated deals for a region/category, sorted by discount %.
find_similar — k-nearest neighbours using vector similarity on title + description.
list_categories — the 50-leaf taxonomy with product counts.
ingest_products — admin tool for merchants to submit feeds (Shopee, Lazada, Amazon SG, Walmart, etc).
