Search Facebook Marketplace from Claude or ChatGPT

Ask your AI assistant to find local deals — furniture, electronics, appliances, anything — and get real listings with photos, prices, and locations back in the conversation.

Connect Claude Connect ChatGPT

Facebook Marketplace is the biggest local secondhand marketplace in the US, but its search is famously frustrating: keyword matching is loose, saved-search alerts are unreliable, and comparing listings means endless tab-hopping. Secondhand MCP connects Facebook Marketplace directly to Claude and ChatGPT, so you can describe what you want in plain language and let the AI do the searching, filtering, and comparing.

Search is location-based — just mention a city ("near Austin", "in San Francisco") and results come from that area. Ask follow-up questions naturally: "which of these is closest to me?", "show me the photos of the second one", "is that a fair price for that model?". The AI has the full listing data, so it can actually reason about what it found.

What you can do

  • Location-based search — pass any city or area name; results come from that locale
  • Price filters — min and max price, applied server-side
  • Full listing details — description, all photos, seller info, delivery options
  • No API key, no login — Facebook Marketplace search works on the free tier out of the box
  • Sold-listing toggle — optionally include sold items for price research

Facebook Marketplace is included on the free tier — 10 searches a month, no credit card. Pro ($5/mo) raises that to 500 and adds Depop and Poshmark.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Facebook account or API key?

No. Facebook Marketplace search works without any account, login, or API key. Connect the MCP server to Claude or ChatGPT and start searching.

How does location work?

Mention a city or area in your request ("near Portland", "in NYC") and the search runs against that locale, the same way Marketplace itself is location-scoped. Different searches can use different cities.

Can I see listing photos in the chat?

Yes. Listing details include every photo — either as direct image URLs or fetched inline into the conversation, so the AI (and you) can look at actual condition, not just the title.

Can it message sellers or buy things?

No — Secondhand MCP is strictly read-only. It searches and fetches listing details. Contacting sellers and buying stays in your hands, on Facebook.

Does this work on mobile?

Setup needs a desktop browser once; after that the connector works wherever your AI assistant does, including the Claude and ChatGPT mobile apps.
