Can Claude search Facebook Marketplace?

Yes. On its own, Claude cannot see Facebook Marketplace listings. Add Secondhand as a connector in Claude and it can search them for you: say what you want and a city, and you get real listings with prices, photos and links. Free to start, about a minute to set up.

Open in Claude

What you get

Ask in plain words, the way you would ask a friend: "a solid wood dresser under $200 in Denver", "is $900 fair for this Peloton?", "show me the photos of the second one". Claude runs the search, reads the listings, and answers with the ones that fit.

Facebook Marketplace search is on the free tier: 10 searches a month, no credit card. Pro ($5/mo) raises that to 500 and adds Depop and Poshmark. Adding your own connector needs a paid Claude plan.

Set it up

About a minute, once

  1. Open the Add connector window in Claude

    Open in Claude

    Use a desktop browser where you are signed in to Claude. If the button does not work: in Claude, open Customize → Connectors and click Add.

  2. Fill in the two boxes

    NameSecondhand
    Remote MCP server URLhttps://secondhandmcp.com/mcp
    Continue
    Then click Continue.

  3. Sign in and allow

    A Secondhand sign-in window opens. Use your email (we send a one-click link) or Google, then click Allow. That creates your free account, with 10 searches a month and no card needed.

  4. Ask for something

    Copy this to start: Find a used Peloton bike under $600 near Austin, TX

    If Claude answers without searching, open the tools menu next to the message box and make sure Secondhand is switched on.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Claude say it cannot access Facebook Marketplace?

Because by itself it cannot. Claude has no way to open Marketplace listings until you add a connector that searches them. Once Secondhand is added and switched on in the chat, ask again and it will search.

Does it work in the Claude app on my phone?

Yes. Add it once from a desktop browser. After that it works everywhere you use Claude, including the iPhone and Android apps.

Do I need a Facebook account?

No. Searching Facebook Marketplace needs no Facebook login or account. You only sign in to Secondhand with your email or Google.

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

Adding your own connector needs a paid Claude plan. Secondhand itself has a free tier with 10 searches a month and no credit card.

How does location work?

Mention a city and state in your request, like "near Portland, OR". Results come from that area, the same way Marketplace itself is local. Each search can use a different city.

Can Claude message the seller or buy it for me?

No. It can only search and read listings. Every listing comes with its link, so contacting the seller and buying happen on Facebook, by you.

Does this work with ChatGPT too?

Yes. The same account works in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. See searching Facebook Marketplace from ChatGPT.
