What is the Go-UPC MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire product discovery and retail auditing workflow with Go-UPC, the comprehensive database for barcode data. By connecting Go-UPC to your agent, you transform complex product lookups into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve detailed product metadata, audit brand information, and identify categories from any UPC, EAN, or ISBN without you ever touching a manual lookup tool. Whether you are conducting market research or managing inventory, your agent acts as a real-time product specialist, ensuring your retail intelligence is always grounded in accurate, verified data.
What you can do
- Product Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution product details for any UPC or EAN barcode, including descriptions and image links.
- Brand Oversight — Identify brand names and manufacturers associated with specific products to maintain a clear view of market distribution.
- Category Discovery — Query product categories to understand the organizational hierarchy of your retail data.
- Bibliographic Intelligence — Lookup ISBN numbers to retrieve book details and metadata instantly.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status and monitor your lookup history to maintain strict control over your research volume.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Go-UPC API Key?
Log in to your Go-UPC dashboard, and you will find your API Key under the 'API' section. Copy and paste it below.
What barcode types are supported?
Go-UPC supports UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, and ISBN-10/13 barcodes globally.
Can the agent show product images?
Yes. The get_product_by_code tool retrieves high-quality image URLs where available in the database, allowing your agent to provide visual context.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
