BuyWhere Product Catalog

Overview

BuyWhere gives AI agents a product-catalog surface for shopping flows, price comparison, and deal discovery. Use this skill when you want an agent to connect product search or merchant-aware commerce actions through BuyWhere's MCP setup path or API onboarding flow.

The safest public starting points are the live developer portal, API key signup flow, MCP guide, and the official Cursor plugin repository.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when you want to add structured product search to an AI shopping or recommendation agent.
• Use when the user asks for BuyWhere MCP setup in Cursor, Claude Desktop, or a custom agent runtime.
• Use when you need a concrete onboarding path for BuyWhere API keys, MCP configuration, or plugin discovery.

How It Works

Step 1: Choose the integration surface

Start from the public BuyWhere entry point that matches the user's setup:

• Developer portal: https://buywhere.ai/developers/
• API key signup: https://buywhere.ai/api-keys/
• MCP integration guide: https://api.buywhere.ai/docs/guides/mcp
• Cursor plugin repo: https://github.com/BuyWhere/buywhere-cursor-plugin

Step 2: Confirm the user's runtime

Ask which host the user is integrating with before giving setup instructions:

• Cursor or another MCP-capable coding assistant
• Claude Desktop
• A custom MCP client
• A direct REST API integration

Do not assume the same config file or launch command works across all hosts.

Step 3: Guide the first successful connection

Prefer a minimal first-run path:

1. Get a BuyWhere API key.
2. Follow the MCP or plugin setup path for the host runtime.
3. Run one simple product-search request before expanding to comparison or deal workflows.

Step 4: Expand into commerce workflows

Once the first query works, help the user branch into the next layer:

• product search and discovery
• price comparison across merchants
• deal discovery flows
• shopping-agent orchestration that routes users to merchant destinations

Examples

Example 1: Cursor plugin discovery

Use BuyWhere Product Catalog to help me connect BuyWhere inside Cursor and verify one product-search query.

Example 2: MCP onboarding

Use BuyWhere Product Catalog to set up BuyWhere MCP for my shopping agent and keep the first test minimal.
