# API Marketplace MCP Server
## Overview
### What is API Marketplace MCP Server?
API Marketplace MCP Server is a hosted implementation of the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) that gives LLM clients (Claude, Cursor, and others) direct access to e-commerce and retail data from major marketplaces — Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Kaufland, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods, Tabletki, and more — as well as a general web scraping tool.
Unlike local MCP servers that run via `npx`, this server is **fully hosted**. No installation, no CLI, no environment variables to manage. Connect with a single URL.

### How to use API Marketplace MCP Server?
1. Get an API key at [api-portal.webparsers.com](https://api-portal.webparsers.com)
2. Add the server to your MCP client using the URL below
3. On first connection, an OAuth authorization page will prompt you to paste your API key — done
**Server config:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"api-marketplace": {
"url": "https://api-marketplace-mcp.webparsers.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
No `command`, no `args`, no `env` needed. Authentication is handled via OAuth — your API key is entered once in the browser prompt and stored as a bearer token.

### FAQ
**Do I need to install anything?**
No. The server is hosted at `https://api-marketplace-mcp.webparsers.com/mcp`. Just add the URL to your MCP client config.
**Where do I get an API key?**
Register at [api-portal.webparsers.com](https://api-portal.webparsers.com). The key is entered once via the OAuth login page when you first connect.
**Is my API key stored securely?**
Your key is never placed in a config file. It is submitted through an OAuth authorization flow and passed as a bearer token on each request.
**Which retailers are supported?**
Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Kaufland, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Tabletki (pharmacy). A general `/scrape` endpoint is also available for any other URL.
**How do I check my credit balance?**
The server exposes `/api/billing/balance` and `/api/billing/usage` as MCP tools. Ask your LLM "what is my current API balance?" and it will query these directly.
**Is this compatible with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients?**
Yes. Any MCP client that supports remote HTTP/SSE servers and OAuth 2.0 dynamic client registration (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, etc.) works out of the box.
**What happens when new API endpoints are added?**
The server polls the OpenAPI spec automatically and reloads when changes are detected. New tools appear in your next session without any config changes on your end.
