# Partle Marketplace MCP Server
[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for the Partle local marketplace — find products in physical stores near you, ask an AI to add a listing for you, all without leaving your assistant.
**130,000+ products** across **~16,000 stores**. Reads need no auth. Writes need a `pk_…` API key.
## Two ways to run it
### Remote (recommended — zero setup)
Point your MCP client at:
```
https://partle.rubenayla.xyz/mcp/
```
That's it. Streamable HTTP transport, MCP spec 2025-06-18. Per-client install instructions: [`/documentation/mcp-setup/`](https://partle.rubenayla.xyz/documentation/mcp-setup/).
### Local stdio (for clients that prefer installable servers, or for Glama / Smithery scoring)
```bash
pip install partle-mcp
partle-mcp
```
Or with `uvx` (no install):
```bash
uvx partle-mcp
```
Or with Docker:
```bash
docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/rubenayla/partle-mcp
```
The stdio package proxies to the public REST API at `https://partle.rubenayla.xyz`, so you don't need a database or local backend.

## Tools (20 total)
### Read (no auth)
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `search_products` | Search the catalog by name, price range, tags, store. Supports cross-language semantic search. |
| `get_product` | Full record for one product by ID. |
| `search_stores` | Search/list stores by name or address. |
| `get_store` | Full record for one store by ID. |
| `get_stats` | Platform-wide totals. |
| `search_wanted` | Browse public **buy requests** at `/wanted` — things people are looking to buy but haven't found. Cross-reference against `search_products` to offer matches. |
### Write (authenticated)
Two ways to authenticate, in preference order:
1. **OAuth (recommended)** — when you add Partle as a custom connector in claude.ai or any MCP client that supports OAuth, the client walks you through a one-click consent screen and attaches a bearer token automatically. Scopes: `products:read`, `products:write`, `inventory:read`, `inventory:write`. Revoke at [/account](https://partle.rubenayla.xyz/account) → **Connected apps**. RFC 9728 metadata at [`/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`](https://partle.rubenayla.xyz/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource); RFC 7591 dynamic client registration at `/oauth/register`.
2. **API key (fallback)** — pass an `api_key` parameter to any write tool. Generate at [/account](https://partle.rubenayla.xyz/account) → **API Keys**. Use this when your client doesn't support OAuth (raw scripts, programmatic agents).
**Products** — public catalog listings.
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `create_product` | Add a new listing. Set `verified=false` when an AI is proposing on behalf of an unconfirmed human. |
| `update_product` | Edit a listing you own. |
| `delete_product` | Remove a listing you own. |
| `upload_product_image` | Attach an image (base64 or URL). |
| `delete_product_image` | Remove an image from a product. |
| `get_my_products` | List products you've created. |
> The remote HTTP server also offers `get_upload_url` (re-fetches a signed upload URL for an existing product). Not exposed in this stdio package — use the remote server if you need it.
**Inventory** — private workshop tracking (owned / wanted / for_sale / sold / discarded). Private to the owner; **does not** appear on the public `/wanted` feed.
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `get_my_inventory` | List your inventory items. Filterable by status, project, free text. |
| `add_inventory_item` | Add a row in any lifecycle state. |
| `update_inventory_item` | Patch any field. |
| `delete_inventory_item` | Permanently remove a row. |
| `mark_for_sale` | Convenience: flip an `owned` item to `for_sale` and set an asking price. |
| `mark_sold` | Convenience: flip a `for_sale` item to `sold`. |
**Buy requests** — public demand-side posts on `/wanted`. Independent of personal inventory.
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `create_buy_request` | Post a public buy request (title, description, quantity, optional `max_price` and `contact`). |
### Feedback
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `submit_feedback` | Send freeform feedback about your integration experience. |

## Example
> **You:** "Use Partle to find a drill under €50."
>
> **Claude:** *(calls `search_products(query="drill", max_price=50)`)*
>
> Returns Blackspur 13pc High Speed Drill Bit Set at €4.99 (Lenehans, IE), Flotec Drill Pump 225 GPH at €17.14 (Kooyman Megastore, NL), and a few more — each with a `partle_url` to view the listing.
