    How to connect

    How to connect pricewatcha to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://mcp.pricewatcha.com

    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    get_api_statusCheck whether the Pricewatcha public API is available. Returns health and discovery metadata. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    track_productSubmit a public product URL for price tracking. Waits up to ~25s server-side; fast shops return status "completed" with product in one call. Slow jobs return status "running" with job_id — poll get_job_status. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    get_job_statusPoll an async tracking job by job_id. Returns status (queued, running, completed, or failed). On completion, product is populated; on scrape failure, error is populated (HTTP 200 job lookup — not a transport error). On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    get_productGet structured product price intelligence by product_id (e.g. demo_iphone_15_pro or prod_xxx from a completed job). On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    get_price_historyGet historical prices, aggregates (low/high/average), trend, and data points for a product. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    search_productsSearches the Pricewatcha product catalog by keyword (token AND; word order does not matter). Supports minus-prefixed exclude terms: e.g. "iPhone 15 -cover -case" returns devices only. Returns product-level data only — not user accounts or alert settings. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    create_price_alertCreate a price alert for a product. Use notify_on_drop / notify_on_rise for any price change without a numeric threshold, and/or min_threshold_price / max_threshold_price for target prices. At least one of those four settings is required. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    list_price_alertsList your price alerts. Optionally filter by product_id. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    get_price_alertGet one price alert by alert_id. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    update_price_alertUpdate a price alert. You can switch to threshold-free notify_on_drop / notify_on_rise, change thresholds, or toggle is_active. At least one setting must remain. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    delete_price_alertDelete a price alert. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    watch_productAdd a catalog product to your account watchlist so the price scheduler keeps updating it. Requires a Pricewatcha API key (pwk_live_...) from https://pricewatcha.com/profile#api-keys. On failure, returns a structured error object with fields error.code, error.message, error.http_status, error.retry_recommended, and error.retry_after_seconds.
    unwatch_productRemove a product from your account watchlist. Fails while an active price alert exists for the product.
