listing.about

BuyWhere is a product catalog and price comparison service for AI agents. It lets an assistant search products by keyword, fetch product details, compare items side by side, find the lowest price across merchants, list deals and find similar products. Coverage is Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the US.

It runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp, or locally with npx @buywhere/mcp-server. An API key is sent as a Bearer token or set as BUYWHERE_API_KEY. A free key can be created through the register endpoint on api.buywhere.ai. The README states a limit of 1,000 calls per day on the free tier.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http buywhere https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. buywhere should show as connected. To sign in for more access, pick it and choose Authenticate.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one. Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it BuyWhere and paste this URL:
https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp
  1. Click Add, then Connect. Signing in to BuyWhere is optional.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp and click Add.
  2. Click Connect. Signing in to BuyWhere is optional.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp as the server URL and choose No authentication, or OAuth to sign in to BuyWhere for more access.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buywhere": {
      "url": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"buywhere","type":"http","url":"https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "buywhere": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buywhere": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers. Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Codex

codex mcp add buywhere --url https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.buywhere]
url = "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"

Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http buywhere https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth buywhere to sign in (optional).

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere. Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buywhere": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp.

Works without a key. An API key from BuyWhere raises the limits: send it as Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/buywhere into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp, so your client talks to BuyWhere directly. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does BuyWhere need an API key or a sign-in?

Not to start. BuyWhere works without signing in and offers sign-in for more access.

Is BuyWhere a remote or a local server?

Remote. BuyWhere hosts it at https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can BuyWhere do?

It has 13 tools, including search_products, get_product and compare_products. You can search the product catalog by keyword, price range and country, get full product details by ID and compare several products side by side.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read BuyWhere's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
