Recommerce MCP Server

What is Recommerce MCP Server?

The Recommerce MCP Server is a public remote endpoint that lets an AI assistant search Recommerce's catalog of refurbished phones, tablets, laptops and game consoles and answer common shopper questions. It needs no account, API key or sign-in.

Recommerce is a French company, founded in 2009, that sells refurbished electronics in France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Belgium. In 2026 it launched shopping and trade-in apps inside ChatGPT; this MCP server reports itself as recommerce-chatgpt-app and exposes catalog search and FAQ tools over Streamable HTTP, so any MCP client can use it.

How to use Recommerce MCP Server?

There is nothing to install and no credentials to configure. Point your MCP client at the endpoint:

https://mcp.recommerce.com/

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http recommerce https://mcp.recommerce.com/

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm the server is connected and its tools are listed.

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, give it a name such as "Recommerce" and paste https://mcp.recommerce.com/ as the server URL. No authentication step follows, because the server is public. Enable the connector for a conversation from the + menu.

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recommerce": {
      "url": "https://mcp.recommerce.com/"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add it to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "recommerce": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.recommerce.com/"
    }
  }
}

Key features of Recommerce MCP Server

• Public endpoint: no account, API key or OAuth flow is needed to connect.
• Catalog search across refurbished smartphones, tablets, laptops and game consoles.
• Built-in answers to Recommerce's own FAQ themes, so the assistant does not have to guess policies.
• Covers warranty (the tool description states 36 months), delivery options, costs and delays, and cosmetic grades.
• Explains what "refurbished" means at Recommerce and what accessories come in the box.
• Includes a feedback tool so an assistant can report problems with the server to its operators.
• Streamable HTTP transport, so it works with any modern MCP client, not only ChatGPT.

Recommerce MCP Server tools

The server exposes three tools.

Catalog search. search-recommerce searches the Recommerce catalog of refurbished products: phones, tablets, laptops and games consoles. This is the tool an assistant uses to find models and offers that match what the user asks for.

Shopper FAQ. recommerce-faq answers frequently asked questions by theme. The themes listed in the tool are refurbishedProduct (what a refurbished product is), deliveryOptions (delivery options, costs and delays), warranty, cosmeticGrades (all devices are fully functional but differ in appearance), whyRefurbished (environmental and price reasons, and the 60 quality checks), technicalSpecifications (where to find specs) and accessories (the included kit and optional purchases).

Feedback. send_feedback sends feedback about the MCP server itself to its operators, for example when a tool fails. Its description tells the assistant to strip personal information before sending.

Use cases of Recommerce MCP Server

• Finding a refurbished phone within a budget: "Find me a refurbished iPhone under 400 euros on Recommerce."
• Comparing device options before buying: "Show me refurbished MacBooks Recommerce has and compare them."
• Understanding condition grades: "What is the difference between Recommerce's cosmetic grades?"
• Checking after-sales terms: "How long is the Recommerce warranty and what are the delivery options?"
• Answering "is refurbished worth it?" questions with the seller's own explanation of its quality checks.

Troubleshooting Recommerce MCP Server

• The client says it cannot connect. Make sure you entered the full URL with https:// and the trailing slash, and that the client is set to the HTTP (Streamable HTTP) transport rather than stdio.
• Search results don't match what you expected. The catalog covers refurbished phones, tablets, laptops and game consoles only; ask for products in those categories.
• Prices or availability look different on the website. Treat assistant results as a starting point and confirm the offer on recommerce.com before buying.
