TechPartPrices MCP server

Which MCP servers are TechPartPrices's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.techpartprices/catalogueverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under techpartprices.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-31 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 122 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do judge whether a current price beats its history; compare storage drives by price per terabyte, but not set alerts for drops on chosen components.
  • Checked on 4 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "judge whether a current price beats its history", the likely first call is get_price_verdict.
  • For "compare storage drives by price per terabyte", the likely first call is get_best_value.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 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".

  • list_articles

    Index of published articles on UK component pricing and buying advice, most recent first.

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "catalogue": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://techpartprices.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http techpartprices https://techpartprices.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://techpartprices.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
