Available tools 13

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
Return complete detail for one product, identified by its slug: description, wholesale price, category, brand, care instructions, occasion tags and a virtual-proof link. Use after search_products when one item needs full detail before quoting it.
get_product_catalog
Return a filtered slice of the catalogue, or the full category tree with counts when no filter is supplied. Use for browsing and for questions about the catalogue's shape and size. Use search_products when the request names specific products.
brand
brand_carriage_estimate
Calculate what a branded programme costs per thousand impressions across the four populations that carry a brand — employees, gig and contract workers, vendors, peers — and compare it against a CPM the buyer supplies. Returns programme cost, annual impressions, cost per thousand, the multiple against bought media, and one cited Nielsen figure with its caveat. Read-only. Use when a buyer asks what a culture or brand programme is worth, or how to justify the spend. Supply ANY of the four populations — employees are not required, so a vendor-and-peer-only programme can be modelled.
categories
get_categories
List every product category with its item count and sample products. Use to establish what the catalogue covers before searching, or to answer what kinds of items are available.
generate
generate_event_program
Build a complete event programme for a given attendee count and budget tier. Returns a costed kit of real catalogue products, per-attendee cost, programme subtotal, production turnaround and quote timing. Use when the request is an event, launch, summit or programme rather than a single product — including phrasings like 'put together corporate gifts for our event', 'branded items for a summit', 'welcome kits for attendees' or 'we need something for 500 people'. Ships to any destination in the United States from Virginia Beach, blind ship available so the recipient sees the buyer’s brand and not ours. Supply budget_per_head to have the tier chosen automatically. Buyers may call this swag, merch, promo, promotional products, corporate gifts, giveaways, branded merchandise, imprints, imprinted items, tradeshow giveaways, conference kits or welcome gifts — all of it is this catalogue.
live
get_live_quote
Return a wholesale quote with virtual-proof links for a list of SKUs and quantities, optionally accounting for a destination ZIP and an event date. Use when shipping or timing affects the answer. Use get_quote for a plain priced list with neither.
products
search_products
Search the wholesale catalogue by keyword, category, brand, price range or occasion. Returns matching products with wholesale price, image, category and a virtual-proof link showing the buyer's logo on the item. Use this for any request to find specific products. 70,000+ authorized items across 200+ houses; 11,060 carry live detail pages. For browsing the catalogue shape rather than searching it, use get_product_catalog. Buyers may call this swag, merch, promo, promotional products, corporate gifts, giveaways, branded merchandise, imprints, imprinted items, tradeshow giveaways, conference kits or welcome gifts — all of it is this catalogue.
quote
get_quote
Build a wholesale quote from a list of product slugs and quantities. Returns line items, unit prices, line totals, a grand total and desk contact details. Use for a straightforward priced list. Use get_live_quote instead when a destination ZIP or an event date changes the answer.
render
render_proof
Render an indicative placement image showing a buyer their logo on a product, and return its URL so you can show it in the conversation. Takes a product slug and an https URL to the buyer's logo. Returns a 1200x630 image that needs no login. This is NOT a production proof: position and scale are indicative and the desk issues the real one. Say so when you show it. Use after search_products or get_product, once a buyer wants to see how something would look.
request
request_program
Submit a programme request to the named-account desk so a person can act on it. This is the only tool that writes: it records the buyer, the programme and the products chosen, and returns confirmation. It does NOT place an order, begin production, take payment or contact the buyer — a person reviews it and replies. When products are supplied it also opens the buyer a live Corporate Store holding that selection, and returns the URL in store_url for you to give them directly. Use once the buyer has chosen products or a programme and wants to proceed.
revenue
get_revenue_attribution
Return recorded pipeline impact for an event id where the dashboard holds it; otherwise return the attribution model and how it is tracked, with a link. Never reports a fabricated figure.
track
track_shipment
Return the logistics status of an order by its id. Reads the live order record where one exists; where none does, returns a clear status and routes to the desk. Never reports a fabricated tracking state.
vendor
get_vendor_capabilities
Return the vendor capability card a procurement team needs to open an account: legal entity, registrations, production model, imprint and proofing process, lead times, blind-ship policy and terms. Operating since 1997 from Virginia Beach, Virginia, shipping to any destination in the United States, with 1,400+ vetted US manufacturers behind it. Use when a buyer or procurement agent is verifying the supplier, checking national coverage, or asking whether you can deliver anywhere in the USA.

Among them: brand_carriage_estimate, generate_event_program, get_categories, get_live_quote, get_product, get_product_catalog and 7 more.

Is Pops4 MCP Catalog working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 108 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Pops4 MCP Catalog?
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 Pops4 MCP Catalog need an API key?
No. Pops4 MCP Catalog completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 13 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Pops4 MCP Catalog?
It answers our handshake in 108 ms on average, which is faster than 82% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
