Real eBay results through the official Browse API — keyword search, condition and price filters, and full listing details, all inside your AI conversation.
Secondhand MCP's eBay integration uses the official eBay Browse API — not scraping — so results are fast, complete, and reliable. Search by keyword with condition filters (new, like-new, good, fair), price ranges, and sort options, then pull full listing details with every photo at full resolution.
eBay is bring-your-own-keys (BYOK): you create a free eBay developer account, and your API credentials are used for your searches. On the hosted service your keys are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and validated against the eBay API when you save them. Regional marketplaces are supported too — search eBay US, UK, DE, and others.
Because the AI sees structured listing data, eBay works especially well for price research: ask what something typically sells for, compare active listings against a Facebook Marketplace find, or hunt for mispriced items across categories.
eBay search (with your own free API keys) is available on every tier, including free. Get keys at developer.ebay.com — the free tier there allows 5,000 calls a day, far more than you'll need.
Once connected, just talk to your AI assistant
eBay offers an official, free Browse API, and using it is more reliable than scraping. Creating an eBay developer account takes about five minutes and the free tier (5,000 calls/day) is more than enough for personal use.
On the hosted service, paste them once into your account page — they are validated against the eBay API and stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM). For the open-source local server, set them as environment variables in your MCP client config.
Yes. The regional marketplace is configurable (EBAY_US, EBAY_GB, EBAY_DE, and others) via the EBAY_MARKETPLACE_ID setting.
Very. The AI gets structured prices and conditions, so you can ask things like "what's the going rate for this?" or have it compare a local Facebook Marketplace find against current eBay listings.
No. Secondhand MCP is read-only — it searches and fetches details. Bidding and buying happen on eBay, by you.
Free tier included. No credit card required.
