Find suppliers ranked for fit across customs records, catalogues and directories
Scored across 4 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct role: discover_suppliers searches for candidates, get_supplier inspects one supplier, get_coverage describes the database, and get_usage reports quota. There is no overlap in purpose and the descriptions reinforce when to use each.
All four names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern (discover_suppliers, get_coverage, get_supplier, get_usage). The only variation is discover vs get, which accurately reflects a search action versus retrieval.
Four tools is on the lean side but each earns its place for a focused, read-only supplier-sourcing server. It covers search, detail, scope-checking, and quota, though it feels minimal with no result-refinement or pagination tools.
The surface covers the core sourcing loop well: assess coverage, discover ranked suppliers, inspect a single supplier, and check usage. Minor gaps exist around refining or paginating large result sets, but the read-only lifecycle is essentially complete with no dead ends.
Finds suppliers and manufacturers for a product or category and ranks them by fit with the request. Use it when someone needs suppliers for something, from a specific part to a broad category. It searches everything Mati Logistics holds (US customs records, supplier catalogues, industry directories and registers, company websites) and scores each candidate against the request. Returns the ranked list, often dozens of companies, each with a 0-100 fit score, a one-line reason, its role (manufacturer, packer_brand, distributor), country, shipment and catalogue counts, and the url of its page; plus how many companies were searched. Only search_for is needed: a sentence saying what kind of suppliers are wanted. phrases and hs_headings are optional search terms; when left out they are written from search_for, and the result shows the terms used under search_terms. Read-only, no side effects. Takes 10-20 seconds. Spends about one credit of a connected account; without an account, one free search a day per network address.
Inputs: search_for (required), phrases, countries, attributes, +4 more.
Returns what the Mati Logistics supplier database covers: a summary (total suppliers and industries), then the kinds of data held on a supplier (company facts, products, capabilities, certifications, customers, people, contact fields) as a list of fields, then each industry with its supplier count, main countries, number of sub-industries with a sample, and a link. Use it to judge whether a search here suits a request, and for phrases to search with. Takes no arguments. Read-only, no side effects, free.
Inputs: no named parameters.
Returns one supplier's public profile on Mati Logistics. Use it to look closer at a supplier from discover_suppliers. Returns its overview, highlights, products, customers, capabilities, certifications, shipment count, similar suppliers and the url of its page; fields the page shows only to signed-in readers are left out and counted as locked. Contact details are never included; the page and its rfq_url are how to reach the supplier. Read-only, no side effects, free.
Inputs: slug (required).
Returns how much supplier search this connection has left and how to get more. Use it before a search, or after one is refused. Without an account: the free searches left today and when they reset. With a connected account: the credits left and about how many searches they cover. Takes no arguments. Read-only, no side effects, free.
Inputs: no named parameters.
