FAQ from Market Price Comparison Server (MCP)

What does “MCP” mean in this server?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, a standard for exchanging data context between AI models and external tools. This server implements that protocol to provide grocery price data.

Which clients can I use with this server?

The README demonstrates integration with Claude (via claude_desktop_config.json) and Cursor (via its MCP settings). Any MCP‑compatible client can be configured to point to the server’s project file.

What are the system requirements?

The server requires .NET 8.0 runtime. For Cursor, Node.js may also be needed if a “no tools found” error occurs. The project is built with the ModelContextProtocol NuGet package.

How do I query prices?

After integration, enter a product name in Turkish. The server will search across major Turkish grocery markets and return a comparison including product title, brand, price, and market name.

What data does the server return?

Each result includes four context types: Title (product info), Brand (brand name), Price (amount), and Market (store name).
