Three MCP servers for e-commerce research with Claude: Shopify, Amazon, and Google Maps tools
Three MCP servers for e-commerce research with Claude
A developer created three MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to help Claude AI pull real competitive data for e-commerce research, eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting or custom code each time.
Key Details
The developer built these tools after wasting approximately 10 hours on manual data gathering before realizing they could automate the process. All three MCP servers are hosted on Apify and can be called directly by Claude.
- Shopify Intel MCP: Lets Claude analyze any public Shopify store without requiring an API key. Examples of queries include "what apps is Gymshark running" or "show me Allbirds' full product catalog with pricing."
- Amazon Intel MCP: Performs product research with a custom scoring system that weights demand signals, competition level, price health, and BSR (Best Sellers Rank). Instead of returning raw results, it scores each product on how good of an opportunity it represents.
- Google Maps Intel MCP: Finds local businesses by industry and location, scoring them as sales leads. It also generates an outreach hint for each business based on data signals that drove the score—for example, "no website, offer web design" or "low rating, offer reputation management."
The MCP servers are live and accessible at:
- https://apify.com/rothy/shopify-intel-mcp
- https://apify.com/rothy/amazon-intel-mcp
- https://apify.com/rothy/gmaps-intel-mcp
The developer is seeking feedback on other data sources that could be useful to add.
