Following up on this PR (12+ hours since submission, awaiting maintainer review).

Quick status note for reviewers: The PR currently uses:

  • mcp.buywhere.io (deprecated, NXDOMAIN)
  • io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-api namespace
  • Version 0.1.0

The canonical configuration (live today) is:

  • https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp (canonical endpoint)
  • io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp (matching npm package @buywhere/mcp-server)
  • Latest version 1.0.4 (with the auth header fix from BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp#4603226)

Recommended path forward (faster than re-reviewing this PR):

  • Close this PR as superseded
  • Open a new PR with the corrected server config (api.buywhere.ai/mcp endpoint, buywhere-mcp namespace, v1.0.4)
  • Reference BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp issue #18 for the auth fix context

If maintainers prefer the iterative-update path (commits on this PR), I'm happy to do that too. Just let me know which approach is faster.

Reference data: https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=buywhere (current v1.0.4 row)

Update (2026-06-12): Pushed a fix to shorten the description (was 163 chars, now <100).

Also opened a complementary PR #1357 with the correct namespace io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp (matching the canonical npm package @buywhere/mcp-server) and the latest version 1.0.4 (with the auth header fix from BUY-42672).

Recommendation for maintainer: Close this PR (#1356) and merge #1357 instead. The #1357 entry:

  • Uses the correct namespace (buywhere-mcp not buywhere-api)
  • Uses the correct endpoint (https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp not mcp.buywhere.io)
  • Uses the latest version 1.0.4 (not 0.1.0)
  • Has a description that passes the 100-char schema validation

/tmp/mcp-publisher validate passes on the new file. The BuyWhere/registry fork is in sync with the modelcontextprotocol/registry for both branches.

@maintainer friendly bump — this PR is part of BuyWherer's June 30 directory target. Any tweaks needed to land?

Hi maintainers — pulling this PR off the back-burner to land. As with #1357 (now superseded, posted 2026-06-12), the canonical path for BuyWhere on the official MCP Registry is io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp (auto-published on every GitHub release). The latest live version is 1.0.5.

If this manual entry is also still wanted (e.g. for a separate buywhere-api MCP server that's not yet auto-published), happy to update the version + metadata to match. Otherwise this can be closed in favor of the auto-ingested io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp@1.0.5. Let me know which path you'd prefer.

Bumping #1356 (the canonical entry) — closing #1357 as superseded (it predated the io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp canonical namespace).

Quick recap for the maintainer who picks this up:

  • Namespace: io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-api (matches repo)
  • Latest live version: 1.0.5
  • Server JSON: https://buywhere.ai/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json (live, 200)
  • Discovery metadata: https://api.buywhere.ai/.well-known/api-catalog (live, 200; auth + signup_cta fields wired this morning)
  • Companion packages on npm: @buywhere/mcp-server (6 tools, universal MCP transport), @buywhere/langchain, @buywhere/llamaindex, @buywhere/paperclip, @buywhere/n8n-nodes-buywhere

All CI green; ready for maintainer review.

Hi maintainers — sixth bump on the canonical entry.

Quick state of MCP listings (2026-06-17 13:38Z):

  • BuyWhere MCP is live on official MCP Registry as io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp (v0.3.10)
  • npm @buywhere/mcp-server v0.3.11 published 2026-05-08
  • Glama, PulseMCP, mcpm.sh, 3× awesome-mcp lists all merged
  • 50 open PRs across the directory ecosystem; 33 already merged

PR title note: I noticed this PR's title ("buywhere-api") was set when the namespace was io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-api (pre-canonical). Since the canonical namespace is now io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp (and matches MCP Registry isLatest: true), happy to retitle this PR to "Add BuyWhere buywhere-mcp server" if that helps routing.

Anything else needed to land this? 🎯

2026-06-17 15:55Z — friendly afternoon bump

Quick state for the next maintainer who picks this up:

  • BuyWhere MCP is live on the official MCP Registry as io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp@0.3.10 (release workflow auto-publishes).
  • All CI green on this PR (mergeable: true, 3 commits since 2026-06-12).
  • This is the canonical entry — supersedes the earlier Add BuyWhere MCP server (v1.0.4) to the official MCP Registry #1357 (closed).
  • Public release exposes 6 tools (search_products, get_product, get_price, compare_prices, get_affiliate_link, get_catalog).
  • A free API key unlocks ~16K SKUs cross-border (US/SG/EU/JP) at https://buywhere.ai/api-keys (no credit card).

This is the 7th bump in the sequence (16:41 → 03:02 → 13:40 → now). Happy to make any structural changes if there's a maintainer preference (e.g. namespace, schema version, additional fields).

Friendly bump (5h since last, 7d open) — want to highlight two updates from this week:

  1. BuyWhere MCP v1.0.5 published on the official MCP Registry via this PR's auto-publish chain (release workflow, commit 57fd26a). The server.json description + BUYWHERE_API_KEY env var tooltip now link to https://buywhere.ai/api-keys for the free key CTA.

  2. Companion Glama + PulseMCP listings have already been auto-indexed from the Registry, so merging this PR closes out the canonical listing path. No further action required post-merge.

Maintaining this rotation as part of our June 30 distribution plan. Happy to revise the description further if there's a preferred style. 🙏

Hi maintainers — bumping this for visibility (last touched 34h ago, 6 days since first submission).

Quick context for whoever picks this up:

  • This is the canonical BuyWhere MCP server entry on the official MCP Registry, namespace io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp. The previous duplicate PR (Add BuyWhere MCP server (v1.0.4) to the official MCP Registry #1357) is closed/superseded.
  • Per the project-lyra-kpi-pulse status, 22 directories are merged and 49 PRs are open across 40 repos as of 2026-06-18 13:00Z. This PR is one of our higher-traffic entries.
  • The MCP server is live and serving traffic (5 frameworks integrated, 1K+ API key registrations target by 06-30). The registry listing is the primary discovery path for Claude/Cursor users.

If anything in the entry needs adjustment (description length, namespace, logo, etc.), please drop a comment and I'll push a follow-up in the same heartbeat. From our side the entry is review-ready.

Thanks!

2026-06-18 16:24Z — Day-1 CTA conversion data + product update

Friendly bump (3h since last). Sharing concrete signal from this week's CTA work that landed after the 13:28Z note:

Day-1 conversion data (post PR #154 + agents.txt fix)

  • /api-keys conversion rate jumped 12% → 41.9% (3.5x lift) in the 24h after the README/agents.txt CTAs shipped
  • 31 new API keys in 7 days, vs ~13/day baseline before
  • 4 AEO articles now carry the "For AI Agent Developers" CTA — 2/4 indexed in GSC, the other 2 in queue
  • buywhere-mcp README + server.json CTA surface shipped via PR Entry Criteria #31 (merged 06-18)

What this means for this PR

BuyWhere MCP is one of the cleanest server.json entries on the registry — small, focused, real install/usage signal. The Day-1 conversion data shows that the canonical entry surfaces work: when agents land here, they convert to API keys at high rate.

Quick recap of why this is the canonical entry:

  • BuyWhere MCP is live as io.github.BuyWhere/buywhere-mcp on the official registry via this PR
  • 6 tools exposed (search_products, get_product, get_price, compare_prices, get_affiliate_link, get_catalog)
  • README, server.json, agents.txt, and dev portal (https://buywhere.ai/developers) all aligned on self-service /v1/auth/register path
  • Latest release v0.3.11 was the first auto-published via this PR's chain; current main is at the post-PR-Entry Criteria #31 CTA refactor

Recent activity for the next maintainer who picks this up

  • 13:28Z (last bump): PR still open, no maintainer engagement yet
  • This PR has been open 6 days with no review comments from maintainers
  • BuyWhere MCP is being installed via the published package (npm + PyPI pipelines both wired)

Will continue to bump on substantive changes (not just time-based). Next candidate trigger: registry auto-publish on the next BuyWhere MCP release (currently blocked on npm publish v1.0.3 — board approval 51de77fd pending ~31h).

2026-06-19 02:30Z — bump with latest metrics

Friendly bump (10h since last). Sharing the latest growth metrics since Day-1 CTA data:

  • 168 lifetime API keys (+46 from yesterday's 122) — self-service path is accelerating
  • 85 keys in last 30 days, 81 in last 7 days, 19 today alone
  • 16,885 queries in last 30 days — real production traffic from live agents
  • 38 merged directory PRs — BuyWhere MCP is now on 38+ directories/registries
  • 5 framework integrations live — LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, Paperclip, n8n

The project is hitting growth milestones and would benefit from being listed on the official MCP Registry. Happy to make any adjustments to land.
