Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 5 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The headache of checking multiple store pages today

Today, tracking game deals means opening Steam, then Epic, then GOG, and so on. You click through pricing pages, copy down a few dollars here, and paste them into a spreadsheet there. It's tedious, slow work that makes you miss the best sale because you were distracted by another tab.

With this MCP, your agent handles the grunt work. You tell it what you need—say, deals under $20—and it pulls together every current listing from all those sites into one clean response. You get the data instantly; no manual clicking required.

Using CheapShark to manage price tracking and alerts

The biggest time sink is manually checking prices over weeks or months, hoping a drop happens. You have to remember which game you wanted and what your target price was.

Now, use `manage_alert`. You tell it the game ID and your budget once. The MCP monitors for you. It's simple: set it up, and then forget about it until the email hits your inbox saying, 'Yep, that deal is live.'

What your AI can actually do with this

Stop juggling tabs across a dozen different gaming storefronts just to check if that RPG dropped another dollar. This MCP lets your agent query CheapShark’s massive database instantly, pulling together the lowest current price for any game across major platforms. You can tell it to find all top deals matching certain criteria or look up a specific title by ID to see its cheapest recorded price ever.

If you're keeping an eye on a wishlist, it handles that too; you just set your desired target price and get notified when the deal pops up. It’s like having a dedicated pricing analyst for every game you care about, all accessible directly through Vinkius.

Questions you might have

How do I use the get_deals tool to find sales? +

You just ask your agent to run get_deals. You can filter the results by criteria like minimum price or store name, so you don't get overwhelmed with irrelevant listings.

Can I use search_games if I only know the game title? +

Yes. You feed the title to search_games. It will help narrow down results and often give you the unique App ID, which is useful for more precise queries later.

What does get_game do with pricing history? +

get_game retrieves detailed data on a specific title. Crucially, it shows not just the current price but also the lowest recorded price that game has ever sold for in the database.

How often does manage_alert check prices? +

The alert system runs continuously and monitors the target price against the live data. You'll get an email as soon as a drop hits your set threshold.

How do I use get_stores if I need a list of all supported retailers? +

It returns a complete directory of every store CheapShark tracks. This is essential for mapping external IDs to the official store names, letting your agent know exactly where to look for deals.

What happens if I use search_games with an ID that no longer exists? +

The agent will report a specific error indicating the Game ID was not found. You can then correct the input or check the get_stores tool to verify the current store catalogue.

Can I use manage_alert to change an existing price alert? +

Yes, you don't need to set it up from scratch. You simply tell your agent which specific Game ID and email address belong to the alert, and then specify the new target price or threshold.

If I search_games for a very broad title, how does the tool handle multiple potential matches? +

The tool provides a list of possible titles and their IDs. Your agent will present these options to you, allowing you to select the exact game you're interested in.

How can I find the historical lowest price for a specific game? +

Use the get_game tool with the specific game ID. It returns the 'cheapestPriceEver' metadata along with current deals across all stores.

Can I filter for only highly-rated games on sale? +

Yes! Use the get_deals tool and set the steamRating or metacritic parameters to filter for quality titles.

How do I set up a notification for when a game goes on sale? +

Use the manage_alert tool with the 'set' action, providing your email, the game ID, and your target price threshold.
