This one needs environment variables set before it will start: WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY (Optional. Private key of a dedicated low-balance Base wallet holding USDC; pays $0.01 per paid tool call via x402. Without it paid tools return the 402 challenge as data.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Shopscout MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Shopscout MCP?
Shopscout MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @forgemeshlabs/shopscout-mcp was installed 432 times last week.
How do I connect Shopscout MCP?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @forgemeshlabs/shopscout-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Shopscout MCP?
The npm package @forgemeshlabs/shopscout-mcp was installed 432 times in the last week. Week over week that is -91%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Shopscout MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
