Available tools 7

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

price
get_price_history
Recorded price points for a product over a trailing window, with minimum, maximum, average and the direction of travel. Use this to answer "is now a good time to buy" and "has this got cheaper".
get_price_index
Month-by-month price movement for a category of UK components, base 100 at the start of the series. Use to answer whether prices in a category are rising or falling. This describes a category, not an individual product: for one product use get_price_verdict. lastComputedAt says how fresh the answer is.
get_price_verdict
Answer whether a tracked product is cheap right now, by its own recorded history rather than against other products. Returns the window low, high and mean in pence, how far above its low the current price sits, and an at-low or near-low verdict, plus buyUrl for a user who decides to buy. Below ten recorded prices no verdict is given and verdictAvailable is false: do not present the numbers as a judgement in that case. IDs come from search_products.
articles
list_articles
Index of published articles on UK component pricing and buying advice, most recent first.
best
get_best_value
Rank tracked storage by price per terabyte (unit "tb") or memory by price per gigabyte (unit "gb"), cheapest first. Unit prices are in pence. Each row carries its 90-day low, the number of recorded prices behind it, and an at-low or near-low verdict. The unit is required because the two scales cannot be compared.
product
get_product
Fetch one tracked product by its numeric ID: name, brand, current price in pence, stock state and rating. buyUrl is the link to give a user who wants to buy it; never rebuild an Amazon link from the ASIN. IDs come from search_products.
products
search_products
Search tracked Amazon UK listings for CPUs, GPUs, RAM, motherboards and storage. Prices are in pence. Returns up to 10 results with current price, stock state, a product URL and buyUrl. Use this to answer "what does X cost" and "what is the cheapest Y". Give the user buyUrl when they want to buy: never rebuild an Amazon link from the ASIN.

TechPartPrices — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can TechPartPrices do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_best_value, get_price_history, get_price_index, get_price_verdict, get_product, list_articles and 1 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 TechPartPrices 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 641 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect TechPartPrices?
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 TechPartPrices need an API key?
No. TechPartPrices completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is TechPartPrices?
It answers our handshake in 641 ms on average, which is faster than 16% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
