Track the daily shop rotation on Claude Desktop

`get_item_shop` pulls the live Fortnite item shop directly into your local Claude Desktop app as soon as the daily reset hits at 00:00 UTC. Your local client parses the active daily and featured tabs to show you exactly what skins are currently up for grabs. You do not need to boot up the game to see if your favorite outfit returned when Claude Desktop can fetch the entire combined inventory.

Discover leaked skins and banners in your sidebar

`get_new_cosmetics` scans the latest game files to list newly added and leaked Fortnite cosmetics directly inside your Claude Desktop interface. Finding specific profile icons is just as quick when Claude Desktop calls `list_banners` to display all available profile banner assets inline. The tool pulls raw data on unreleased skins so you can plan your V-Buck spending.

Query cosmetic rarities with this MCP Server

`search_cosmetics_by_rarity` filters the massive Fortnite skin database by tiers like icon or legendary inside your Claude Desktop chat window. This MCP Server lets Claude Desktop pinpoint high-value Fortnite cosmetics without wasting time on common filler items. Narrowing down your search by category is simple when your agent runs `search_cosmetics_by_type` to separate emotes from gliders.
