How it works

1

Get a token

Create a free account and generate a Sanctum Bearer token at /api/access.

2

Paste the config

Drop the snippet into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP-compatible client. Restart, done.

3

Ask in plain English

Your agent now has tools for searching listings, fetching one, listing sources, and pulling stats — no API plumbing on your end.

Setup & tools

Endpoint: https://catchbuys.com/mcp/catchbuys · Bearer token auth · 30 req/min throttle.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol — an open standard from Anthropic for letting LLMs call tools on a remote server. catchbuys exposes four tools so any MCP-compatible agent can search, drill down, list sources and pull global stats.

Configuration

  1. Generate a Bearer token at /api/access.
  2. Paste one of these snippets into your MCP client config and restart the client.

Claude Code / Cursor

Questions

How is this different from the REST API?

Same data, different interface. The REST API is what your code calls. The MCP server is what your AI agent calls — natural-language prompts get translated into tool calls automatically.

Which client should I use?

Claude Desktop is the easiest if you want a chat-style UI. Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf and Continue are the right choice if you're embedding domain queries inside a coding workflow. Any MCP-compatible client works.

What's the rate limit?

30 requests per minute per token on the MCP endpoint. Plenty for interactive use.

Is my token safe?

The token only authorises read access to the public catchbuys catalogue — it can't modify anything. Still, keep it out of repos. Revoke and rotate if it leaks.
