What is the Secondhand Purchase Value Scorer MCP?

It is an MCP that allows your AI client to calculate the economic value of used items by comparing them to new prices and factoring in condition and repairs.

How does it determine if a used item is a good deal?

It uses a value score based on the item's price, its condition, how much life it has left, and any expected repair or delivery costs.

Can I compare multiple items at once?

Yes, you can use the rank_multiple_listings capability to sort a collection of different used item listings.

Does it account for repair costs?

Yes, the get_repair_impact_analysis capability specifically evaluates how much a repair will reduce an item's value.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How is the value score calculated?

The score is calculated by applying user-defined weights to the item's condition, expected life, price, and repair costs, relative to the cost of buying the item brand new.

Can I prioritize certain factors like condition over price?

Yes, you can use userWeights to specify how much importance to give to condition, life, price, and repair costs.

How do I compare multiple used items at once?

You can use the rank_multiple_listings capability to provide a list of items and receive a ranked list from highest to lowest value.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
