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 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 146 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 in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Menlo Labs Shopping MCP need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Menlo Labs Shopping MCP answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Menlo Labs Shopping MCP?
It answers our handshake in 146 ms on average, which is faster than 85% 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.
