VerifiedPricing

VerifiedPricing agent clients

Python REST client, CLI and MCP tools for pricing snapshots, source citations, comparisons and explicit research requests.

Bundle v0.3.2 pairs verifiedpricing-client 0.1.3 with verifiedpricing-mcp 0.3.2. The CLI and local stdio support Python 3.10+ on Linux and macOS. Self-hosted HTTP extras require Python 3.11+. Connecting to the hosted endpoint requires no Python installation.

Get started

Create your own key at VerifiedPricing Account. The account form initially selects prices:read and comparisons:read; API key creation with scopes omitted defaults to prices:read only. Add the optional coverage:request scope if you want to submit pricing research requests. Keep your key in private environment or credential storage; do not put it in command arguments, URLs, tool arguments or public configuration.

Bundle v0.3.2 uses these wheel filenames:

• verifiedpricing_client-0.1.3-py3-none-any.whl
• verifiedpricing_mcp-0.3.2-py3-none-any.whl

Download both wheels and SHA256SUMS from the release assets, verify their checksums, then install in an isolated environment:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/verifiedpricing-agent
~/.venvs/verifiedpricing-agent/bin/python -m pip install \
  ./verifiedpricing_client-0.1.3-py3-none-any.whl \
  ./verifiedpricing_mcp-0.3.2-py3-none-any.whl

On macOS, use shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS. The REST client uses the Python standard library; the MCP package installs the pinned official SDK mcp==2.3.0 and its dependencies. Activate the environment before using verifiedpricing or configuring verifiedpricing-mcp as a local stdio server.

Hosted MCP

Connect a client that supports Streamable HTTP to https://verifiedpricing.com/mcp. Send your personal read key in Authorization: Bearer YOUR_VERIFIEDPRICING_API_KEY. Store the real key in your client's private secret or environment settings; never put it in the URL or a public configuration file. The JSON below shows the shape used by clients that accept mcpServers HTTP configuration; client support and secret substitution vary.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "verifiedpricing": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://verifiedpricing.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_VERIFIEDPRICING_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

The hosted endpoint uses the same personal account allowance. Its MCP Registry entry, metadata version 0.3.2, records the service endpoint. Use the tool list returned by the running service when connecting. The local 0.3.2 package provides the eleven tools below.

Eleven MCP tools

search_products, get_prices, get_price, compare_prices, get_competitor_prices, get_price_history, get_sources, get_reviewed_records, get_usage, request_price_coverage, get_price_coverage_request.

Coverage tools require an API with coverage requests enabled. request_price_coverage is the optional write tool. It requires coverage:request, explicit consent: true, and a product ID or canonical domain. A new domain also needs a supported category. Repeating the same request returns its original ID; use get_price_coverage_request to follow its status. Price lookups remain reads when coverage is missing.

REST, CLI and MCP share the same account budget: the free allowance is 1,000 weighted units per day and 10,000 per month. get_usage returns the account's limits and remaining allowance. A new key or MCP session does not reset them.

Source-backed results

Client 0.1.3 and MCP 0.3.2 retain catalog provenance, amount support, comparison eligibility, conditions, billing and provider retrieval dates in human output. Catalog entries carry the Automated pricing source label.

Responses retain snapshot IDs, source URLs, observation and review dates, freshness, integrity and comparison eligibility. Automated observations and recorded human review have distinct labels. Comparisons preserve not_comparable and its reasons when inputs need more context.
