Available tools 29

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

product

get_product

Full details for one product by slug, SKU or id: description, specifications, prices ex/inc VAT with bulk breaks, stock, variants, safety/spec documents and the canonical page URL. Provide exactly one of slug, sku or id.

get_product_documents

Safety data sheets, specification sheets and COSHH hazard codes for a product (by slug or SKU). Returns document URLs.

get_product_promotions

Active promotions that apply to one SKU (discounts, free gifts, end dates).

products

get_products

Look up up to 50 products at once by SKU or by numeric id. Returns compact products (name, price ex/inc VAT, stock, link).

list_products

Browse a product collection: most popular, newest, on sale, Website Express eligible, or a category by slug (see list_categories). Supports paging, sorting and brand/price filters.

search_products

Full-text search of the Camden Tools catalogue (hand tools, power tools, accessories, safety equipment). Returns compact products with prices ex/inc VAT, stock and a link. Use page/per_page to paginate and brand/min_price/max_price to narrow down.

blog

get_blog_post

A blog post's full text (plain text) by slug.

search_blog_posts

Guides and articles from the Camden Tools blog (how-tos, buying guides, brand news).

express

check_express_eligibility

Whole-basket Website Express verdict for a set of product ids and quantities: every line must be eligible (no split shipments).

get_express_delivery_status

Whether Website Express (free same-working-day dispatch for eligible UK orders) is available right now, the order-by cutoff and the promised dispatch date.

basket

create_basket_link

Turn product ids and quantities into one link that fills the shopper's basket on camdentools.com. Opening the link makes sure the basket holds at least those quantities (opening it twice does not double them); the shopper reviews the basket and pays at checkout themselves. The result says which lines are out of stock: those cannot be bought, so offer an alternative before sharing the link. Use it to finish a shopping conversation. Ids come from search_products, list_products or get_product.

brand

get_brand_products

A brand's details, its active promotions and its products (paged) by brand slug.

brands

list_brands

Brands sold by Camden Tools (DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, Stanley …). Without a query returns the popular brands; with a query searches brand names.

bundles

list_bundles

Curated product bundles (kits) with their items and prices.

cart

get_cart_promotions

Evaluate a prospective basket for a destination country: whether it can be fulfilled, which promotions apply (including free-delivery style offers and free gifts) and the adjusted basket value. Same check the checkout runs.

Camden Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Camden Tools do?

It exposes 29 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_express_eligibility, check_shipping_availability, compare_products, create_basket_link, estimate_delivery, get_blog_post and 23 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Camden Tools mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around product, products and express. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Camden Tools working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 266 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Camden Tools?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Camden Tools need an API key?

No. Camden Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 29 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Camden Tools?

It answers our handshake in 266 ms on average, which is faster than 58% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
