Menlo Labs Shopping MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Menlo Labs Shopping MCP do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: build_product_kit, search_products. 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 Menlo Labs Shopping MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 28 of 92 checks got a reply (30.4%), average response time 447 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Menlo Labs Shopping MCP still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Menlo Labs Shopping 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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Menlo Labs Shopping MCP need an API key?

No. Menlo Labs Shopping MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Menlo Labs Shopping MCP?

It answers our handshake in 447 ms on average, which is faster than 33% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
