Perplexity

Search and manage products using the MCP Server.

The `search_products` tool lets you find items by text, brand ID (`b/1234`), or category ID (`c/5678`). You don't need to leave your local environment; just ask Claude Desktop for product details and get the full JSON response. Need to change inventory? Use `manage_stock` to update a SKU's quantity, or run `save_product` if you want to create or modify an entire listing record.

Retrieve specific e-commerce data types.

Want just the brand info? Call `get_brand(id)`. If you only need category details, use `get_category(id)` to pull those records. These tools give you clean data points right in Claude Desktop, making it easy to build out structured content or write reports.

Get full product and SKU context.

When you need everything about an item, `get_product(id)` delivers the complete listing details. For granular inventory checks, `get_sku(id)` pulls the exact stock level and identifier. This combination lets your agent verify a product's availability before writing code or sending emails.
