Remote MCP — ready without installing a package

URL: https://ecompick.com/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP Authentication: none. Basic queries are free forever.

The remote service supports protocol versions 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18 and 2025-03-26. It is stateless and returns JSON responses; a standalone GET stream is not offered. There is an approximate limit of 60 requests per IP per minute at each Cloudflare location. Respect HTTP 429 and Retry-After.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http ecompick https://ecompick.com/mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{"mcpServers":{"ecompick":{"url":"https://ecompick.com/mcp"}}}

ChatGPT and Claude remote connectors

Add https://ecompick.com/mcp as a custom MCP connector/app where your account supports remote MCP. Choose no authentication. Availability and the settings UI depend on the client and plan.

Local stdio server

Requires Node.js 22 or newer.

npm publication is pending. After the maintainer publishes ecompick-mcp, run:

npx -y ecompick-mcp

Until then, build from this repository:

git clone https://github.com/YXCerk/ecompick-mcp.git
cd ecompick-mcp
npm ci
npm run build
node dist/cli.js

The process reads MCP messages on stdin and writes protocol responses on stdout.

Claude Desktop

Use claude_desktop_config.json with your absolute checkout path:

{"mcpServers":{"ecompick":{"command":"node","args":["/absolute/path/ecompick-mcp/dist/cli.js"]}}}

After npm publication, the configuration becomes:

{"mcpServers":{"ecompick":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","ecompick-mcp"]}}}

Claude Code (local)

claude mcp add --transport stdio ecompick -- node /absolute/path/ecompick-mcp/dist/cli.js

Cursor (local)

{"mcpServers":{"ecompick":{"command":"node","args":["/absolute/path/ecompick-mcp/dist/cli.js"]}}}

Tools

Tool	Parameters	Result
search_tools	query?, task?, platform?, pricing?, kind?, limit?	Filtered shortlist; default 5, maximum 20
get_tool	slug	Public details and source links
find_alternatives	slug	Documented, published alternatives
compare_tools	slugs (2–3 distinct values)	Pricing types, platforms and kinds
list_tasks	none	Task IDs, names and counts
list_platforms	none	Platform IDs, names and explicit-support counts

Every tool entry includes an EcomPick detail link with ?ref=mcp and checkedAt, the last editorial verification date (null when unavailable). No scores are generated. A platform-independent tool is not claimed to have a native integration.

Pricing filters use catalog labels such as Free, Free plan, Free trial, Paid, Usage based or Contact sales. Filters combine with AND. Use facet tools for current task/platform IDs. Unknown prices remain unknown; official pricing links are provided.

Example conversations

Seller: “Find product-image tools for my Shopify store with a free plan.” Assistant workflow: list_tasks(), list_platforms(), then search_tools({"task":"product-images","platform":"shopify","pricing":"Free plan"}). Return current matches with dates and sources; if none match, say so.

Seller: “What alternatives are listed for this tool?” Assistant workflow: Take the slug from a search result, call find_alternatives({"slug":"<returned-slug>"}), and explain the documented differences.

Seller: “Compare these two tools.” Assistant workflow: compare_tools({"slugs":["<first-slug>","<second-slug>"]}). Compare pricing type, platform coverage and delivery kind without inventing numeric prices or ratings.

Agent Skill

Copy skills/ecompick to ~/.claude/skills/ecompick for Claude Code, or your Agent Skills-compatible client's skills directory. It uses the remote MCP tools when available and public JSON otherwise. No MCP installation is required for the JSON path.

Data and privacy

The directory is not bundled in this repository or npm package. The stdio server fetches these read-only endpoints at runtime and caches successful responses for five minutes:

• https://ecompick.com/api/v1/tools.json
• https://ecompick.com/api/v1/categories.json
• https://ecompick.com/api/v1/platforms.json

Local stdio queries are filtered on your machine. The hosted MCP receives query arguments. Clicking an EcomPick result with ref=mcp contributes to referral analytics. No seller-account access is needed.

Code is licensed under MIT. Public data is free to use; cite EcomPick detail pages, do not mirror the entire site and do not resell the directory data. See data terms. Product features and prices can change after the recorded check date.

Development and publication

npm ci
npm test
npm run test:live
npm pack --dry-run

Tests use synthetic fixtures. CI builds and tests on Node.js 22 and 24. test:live checks the deployed remote server and the built stdio server with the official MCP SDK.

To publish the prepared package, the maintainer runs npm login, then npm publish --access public (complete npm's own account/2FA requirements). Update the publication note above after the package is actually available.

The remote-only Registry descriptor is in server.json. The manual Publish remote MCP to Registry workflow uses GitHub OIDC and publishes metadata only; it does not publish to npm.
