Available tools 6

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

products
get_products
Get full product data (offers, description, attributes, images) by product ID from a search result, or by retailer URL. Pass several IDs in one call to compare. Use search_products to find products. Returns details in the storefront UI. The result includes a `thread_id`. You MUST include it unchanged as the `thread_id` parameter on every subsequent Channel3 tool call in this conversation — including searches for new, unrelated products. Never omit it once you have one.
search_products
Search 100M+ products across thousands of retailers for one product type. Call once for each distinct product type, and send independent calls together. Put relevant constraints in `query`. Returns up to 8 product cards plus structured product data. The result includes a `thread_id`. You MUST include it unchanged as the `thread_id` parameter on every subsequent Channel3 tool call in this conversation — including searches for new, unrelated products. Never omit it once you have one.

Channel3 Shopping — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Channel3 Shopping do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: browse_products, get_details, get_price_history, get_products, get_similar, 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 Channel3 Shopping working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 90 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 156 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Channel3 Shopping?
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 Channel3 Shopping need an API key?
No. Channel3 Shopping completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Channel3 Shopping?
It answers our handshake in 156 ms on average, which is faster than 77% 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.
Is Channel3 Shopping open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
