Facebook Marketplace MCP Server

Production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and REST API service for Facebook Marketplace.

Designed to support stdio, SSE (Server-Sent Events), and Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0), ready for local desktop assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity) and multi-service cloud deployments behind Nginx and Docker Compose on https://mcp.cuang.dev/facebook alongside Shopee and Tokopedia.

🚀 Features

• Triple Transport Architecture:

  • 🖥️ Stdio: Zero-configuration desktop MCP execution (npx facebook-marketplace-mcp --stdio).

  • ⚡ SSE (Server-Sent Events): Long-lived streaming endpoint at /sse with prefix-aware /messages dispatch.

  • 🌐 Streamable HTTP: Stateless JSON-RPC 2.0 POST endpoint at /mcp.

  • 🔌 REST API: Direct HTTP routes (/api/marketplace/...) and health checks.

• Reverse Proxy & Prefix Awareness:

  • Automatically honors X-Forwarded-Prefix and BASE_PATH (e.g. /facebook under mcp.cuang.dev/facebook).

• Unified Multi-Platform Gateway:

  • Includes Nginx and Docker Compose configurations ready to run alongside shopee-indonesia-mcp and tokopedia-mcp.

• 5 High-Level MCP Tools:

  • search_marketplace: Full query, location, price min/max, condition, category, and sorting filters.

  • get_listing_details: Deep listing inspection, price, seller info, location, attributes, and photos.

  • get_nearby_listings: Browse local/trending items in any city without keywords.

  • get_marketplace_categories: Category taxonomy navigation.

  • parse_listing_url: Extract IDs, location slugs, and canonical links.

• Enterprise Security & Isolation:

  • API Key protection (x-api-key, Authorization: Bearer, or query parameter ?apiKey=).

  • Ephemeral user session cookies (x-facebook-cookie header or cookie parameter) processed strictly in-memory without persistent logging.

  • Cache keys salted by hash of session cookies to prevent cross-tenant data leakage.

  • Built-in simulation fallback mode (MOCK_ON_BLOCKED=true) ensuring zero downtime during testing or anti-bot blocks.

📦 Quickstart via NPM (Local Desktop MCP)

You can run the server directly without cloning:

# Stdio mode (recommended for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity)
npx facebook-marketplace-mcp --stdio

# Or start as a local HTTP / SSE server on port 3000
npx facebook-marketplace-mcp --port 3000

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "facebook-marketplace": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "facebook-marketplace-mcp", "--stdio"],
      "env": {

🌐 HTTP & SSE Transports

When running as an HTTP server (PORT=3000, BASE_PATH=/facebook):

🐳 Docker & Multi-Service Deployment (mcp.cuang.dev)

This server is designed to be deployed alongside Shopee and Tokopedia behind an Nginx reverse proxy under https://mcp.cuang.dev/<mcp-name>.

Standalone Docker

docker build -t facebook-marketplace-mcp .
docker run -d -p 3002:3000 --name facebook-mcp facebook-marketplace-mcp

Unified Multi-Service Stack

To launch Nginx, Facebook Marketplace, Shopee, and Tokopedia together:

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.unified.yml up -d --build

Nginx routes traffic as follows:

• https://mcp.cuang.dev/facebook/ ➔ facebook-marketplace-mcp:3000/

• https://mcp.cuang.dev/shopee/ ➔ shopee-indonesia-mcp:3000/

• https://mcp.cuang.dev/tokopedia/ ➔ tokopedia-mcp:3000/

• https://mcp.cuang.dev/health ➔ Aggregated Gateway Health

⚙️ Environment Configuration

🧪 Development & Testing
