Available tools 9

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

price
check_price
Is this a good price? Give a product (name, model number or eBay item URL) and a price in USD; get where that price sits against today's US eBay listings for it (cheapest, 25th percentile, median, share of listings cheaper) and its 30-day low, with a verdict: great, good, fair or high. Without a price you get the market numbers and an estimated resale value after eBay fees.
get_price
Today's price summary for one sharpest.ai product page (a URL from search_prices): lowest and median asking price, listing count, 30-day low, high and change.
price_moves
Biggest price moves over the last week across all tracked products (typical asking price, then vs now), falling and rising.
price_per_unit
Cheapest price per unit, best first: per GB/TB for storage and RAM, per GB of VRAM for GPUs, per battery, per ounce, per foot of cable and so on. category = a key from list_categories (e.g. 'storage', 'ram', 'gpus', 'Batteries', 'Coffee & tea'). Optional condition for eBay categories: new, used or refurb.
price_shopping_list
Price a list of things to buy in one call. Each item is matched to the closest product sharpest.ai tracks (computer parts, electronics, collectibles, household staples), and you get the cheapest current US eBay asking price (item + shipping) for each, times its quantity, and the list total. Use it for a PC build, a homelab or NAS parts list, a set of cards, or a grocery/household list. Check the matched name: when it is not what was meant, refine that query and call again.
categories
list_categories
Categories sharpest.ai tracks, with the keys the other tools take: eBay product categories (GPUs, storage, RAM, phones, cameras, cards...) and per-unit staple groups (batteries, coffee, cables...).
deals
deals
Today's deals: products whose cheapest listing is well under their own 30-day average low (or, for new products, under today's typical price). Optional category key from list_categories.
prices
search_prices
Find current prices for a product on sharpest.ai: GPUs, CPUs, RAM, SSDs, phones, laptops, cameras, consoles, Pokemon and other trading cards, LEGO, and everyday staples priced per unit (batteries, coffee, cables...). Returns today's lowest and median US eBay Buy It Now asking price (item + shipping, USD; not sold prices) or, for staples, the cheapest price per unit across Amazon and eBay, with a link to the product page.
used
used_vs_new
How much buying used or refurbished saves vs new, typical price vs typical price, for a category key from list_categories (not collectibles).

Sharpest price search — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sharpest price search do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_price, deals, get_price, list_categories, price_moves, price_per_unit and 3 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 →
Is Sharpest price search working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 92 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 442 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Sharpest price search?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Sharpest price search need an API key?
No. Sharpest price search completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Sharpest price search?
It answers our handshake in 442 ms on average, which is faster than 28% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
