The infrastructure problem nobody's talking about

AI agents are answering more and more commerce questions every week. They tell users which laptop to buy, which headphones have the best price, which insurance plan covers their needs. But when an agent's recommendation converts into a sale, the affiliate network never knows the agent was involved. The affiliate network was designed for human click-throughs, not for an LLM citing a product spec in a tool call result.

That gap is costing the AI ecosystem real money. And it's the gap we built BuyWhere to close.

We are the API layer that sits between AI agents and the affiliate networks. When an agent searches our catalog, gets a result, and the user converts, we route the commission back to the agent's operator — the framework, the tool builder, the platform — through standard partnership rails.

It works today. 100M+ products, 20+ merchants, MCP server live with 2,000+ weekly npm downloads. And we want the next 10 integration partners to shape the roadmap with us.

What we are offering the first 10 partners

  • 12 months of unlimited Growth-tier API access, no cost
  • Direct roadmap input on the partner-facing surface
  • Co-branded launch announcement per partner
  • Server-side affiliate attribution: when your agent's recommendation converts, you earn commission
  • Technical co-development on integration patterns (we will write the wrapper for your framework if you want)

What we ask in return

  • Usage data sharing (aggregated, anonymized)
  • A short testimonial after 30 days of integration
  • A 30-minute technical feedback call each month for the first quarter
  • A public case study or example app at the 90-day mark

That's it. No equity, no exclusivity, no IP transfer.

Who we are looking for

We want the first 10 partners to be AI agent framework builders, MCP server developers, and developer tool companies whose users are already building commerce-related agents. If you maintain or operate any of the following, we should talk:

  • Agent orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, AutoGPT, LlamaIndex, n8n agents)
  • MCP gateway / marketplace operators (Smithery, Glama, PulseMCP, mcp.so)
  • Developer tool platforms with embedded AI agents (Replit, Vercel, Mintlify, Supabase, Apify)
  • AI-native commerce or shopping assistants

The integration takes a weekend

The BuyWhere MCP server is on npm (@buywhere/mcp-server) and the REST API is documented at buywhere.ai/docs. A typical integration is one tool definition and one API call:

import buywhere

results = buywhere.search(
    query="ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED",
    region="southeast_asia",
    country_code="SG",
    currency="SGD",
    limit=5
)
for r in results:
    print(f"{r.name} — {r.currency} {r.price} at {r.merchant} (in stock: {r.in_stock})")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That's it. You now have real, deduplicated product data with merchant attribution. The full integration path with the MCP server is 5 minutes if you already have an MCP-capable client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenAI Agents SDK, etc.).

How to apply

Reply to this post, DM us on dev.to, or email partners@buywhere.ai with:

  1. What you are building
  2. How many agents / users you have
  3. Which framework / platform you are integrating with

We will get back to you within 48 hours. The first 10 partners ship with us; the next 100 inherit what you build.

Why this matters now

The agent economy is being designed right now. The choices the first integration partners make — which catalog API, which attribution model, which conversation context — become the default for thousands of agent projects that follow. If you have ever wanted to influence how AI agents discover products and earn revenue, this is the moment.

The window is open. We are looking for 10 builders.
