Add product search to your AI agent with the Channel3 MCP

AI agents are great at conversation — but to help people shop, they need to see the world of products. The Channel3 MCP gives your agents superpowers for product discovery: search tens of millions of real products in real time, with current prices, images, descriptions, and availability.

What is the Channel3 MCP?

The Channel3 MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a server you add to your AI agent so it can search and reason about products on the internet. Instead of guessing or hallucinating product details, your agent can query Channel3’s catalog and return real, up-to-date results — the same data that powers our API and SDKs, now available inside Claude, OpenAI, and other MCP-compatible agents.

Get started in 1 minute

Add the Channel3 MCP with one of the supported configurations. For example, in your Claude / Cursor MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Channel3": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.trychannel3.com",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${apiKey}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "apiKey": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use your API key from the Channel3 dashboard. Once the MCP is connected, your agent can find any product online.

What your agent can do

• Search by query — e.g. “durable commuter backpack” or “organic cotton t-shirt” with real-time, semantic search.
• See real data — current prices, images, descriptions, and stock status from live catalogs.
• Drive sales — results can include affiliate links so you earn commission when users buy.

Building an app instead?

If you’re building a product or integration (not just an agent), use our SDKs or call the API directly. The same product graph that powers the MCP is available via our TypeScript and Python SDKs — ideal for search UIs, recommendations, and shopping experiences.
