How do I install the Underpriced AI MCP server?

Underpriced AI is a hosted endpoint at https://underpricedai.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~796 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
buy_credits ~133

Ways to pay for Underpriced AI scans. Without a choice it lists the credit packs (credits never expire), pay as you go ($0.25 per photo scan on a monthly bill, no cap), and for a signed-in user their balance. With a pack it returns a Stripe Checkout link for that user; with PAY_AS_YOU_GO it returns the link that puts a card on file so scans just run from then on. Anonymous callers get the pricing page link.

NameTypeReqDescription
packstringA pack to buy, or PAY_AS_YOU_GO. Leave empty to see the options and the balance first.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_scan_result ~123

For a signed-in user: the finished result for a scan on their account, in the same shape as price_item, once the sold comps have landed in the background. Call it with the account.scanId a photo price returned when that result said comps were still loading (about 20 seconds later), or to re-read any saved scan.

NameTypeReqDescription
costnumberWhat the user would pay, in USD, for a worth-it verdict.
scan_idstringyesThe account.scanId from a signed-in price_item, or the saved-scan link.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_sold_comps ~84

The most recent real eBay US sales for a search query (brand, model or pattern, a few specific words), with the count, median and quartiles. Use when the user wants to see what actually sold and for how much.

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyes3 to 6 specific words, brand and model first, like an eBay search.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_on_ebay ~191

For a signed-in user: turns a photo scan from price_item (account.scanId) into an inventory item with a draft eBay listing on their Underpriced AI account (title, list price defaulting to the market price, condition, description) and returns the link where they review and publish it in the app, plus whether eBay is connected and the connect link if not. It never publishes anything; publishing happens in the app after the user checks the listing.

NameTypeReqDescription
conditionstringOverrides the condition read from the photo.
pricenumberList price in USD. Leave empty for the scan's market list price.
scan_idstringyesThe account.scanId that price_item returned for a photo scan on this account (the saved-scan link works too).
titlestringOverrides the generated listing title (80 characters, eBay's limit).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

price_item ~182

What a secondhand item sells for on eBay US: a calibrated estimate with a range, the recent real sold comps behind it, three list prices (fast, market, patient) with the 14-day sell chance, the net after eBay fees, and a worth-it verdict when you pass what the user would pay. Give image_url (a public https link to a photo) whenever one exists; a description alone works but reads less.

NameTypeReqDescription
conditionstringCondition as the user states it.
costnumberWhat the user paid or would pay for it, in USD, for a worth-it verdict.
descriptionstringWhat the item is: brand, model or pattern, size, any marks, completeness.
image_urlstringPublic https URL of a photo of the item. Preferred over description alone.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

worth_it ~83

Net after eBay fees and a verdict (worth it / thin / pass) for an expected sale price and what the user would pay. Pure arithmetic; use price_item first when the sale price is unknown.

NameTypeReqDescription
costnumberyesWhat the user would pay for the item in USD.
expected_sale_pricenumberyesExpected eBay sale price in USD.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
