fetch-price — UK product & price search for agents

One API call. Live UK marketplace prices. Normalised JSON. Direct buy links.

When to use

Any time the user's request involves a physical product and UK availability or price: "find", "compare", "cheapest", "under £X", "in stock", "best deal", "where can I buy". If the user would otherwise open eBay or Amazon and start searching, use this skill instead.

When NOT to use

Digital products, subscriptions, services, non-UK regions, or questions about price history/trends (this returns live listings only).

How to call it

POST https://api.fetch-price.com/api/query Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY (free tier works without a key: 50 lookups/mo)

{
  "query": "portable air conditioner 9000 BTU",
  "max_results": 5,
  "max_price": 300,
  "networks": ["ebay_uk"]
}

Response is a JSON array. Each item:

{
  "product": "Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones",
  "price": 189.99,
  "currency": "GBP",
  "condition": "New",
  "network": "ebay_uk",
  "url": "https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/..."
}

Rules for good results

1. Pass the user's intent as a natural query — don't over-tokenise. "quiet portable air con for a bedroom" beats "air conditioner".
2. Always set max_price when the user states a budget.
3. Present the url field to the user unchanged — it is the purchase link.
4. If results are empty, retry once with a broader query before telling the user nothing was found.
5. Check GET /health if two consecutive calls fail.

MCP server

Prefer tools over raw HTTP? A one-file MCP server (stdio) is available: https://fetch-price.com/docs/mcp — works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-capable client. Tools: search_products, service_status.
