listing.about

Connects an assistant to idealo's price comparison data for Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Spain. You can search the catalog with filters, fetch product details, page through shop offers and review 30-day price trends with buying hints.

The server is hosted at https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp and uses Streamable HTTP. Sign-in uses OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration and PKCE, so no client ID or key setup is needed. The default Trial tier has rate limits (500 calls per day per user) and trimmed responses. Partner access is available on request. Offers from Amazon, eBay and Otto are filtered out.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http idealo https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick idealo and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the idealo sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it idealo and paste this URL:
https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when idealo asks.

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://mcp.idealo.com/mcp and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when idealo asks.

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://mcp.idealo.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to idealo to sign in.

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": {
    "idealo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"idealo","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp"}'

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

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "idealo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

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": {
    "idealo": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add idealo --url https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp
codex mcp login idealo

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

config.toml
[mcp_servers.idealo]
url = "https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http idealo https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth idealo to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

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": {
    "idealo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.idealo.com/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://mcp.idealo.com/mcp.

listing.faq

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

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp, so your client talks to idealo directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

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

Yes, you need a idealo account. The first time your client connects, it opens idealo's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is idealo a remote or a local server?

Remote. idealo hosts it at https://mcp.idealo.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can idealo do?

You can search products by category, brand, price range and availability, get product details with specs, reviews and pros/cons and page through all shop offers with shipping and payment info.

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 idealo'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.
