PricePilot MCP Server

Free Amazon pricing intelligence for multi-channel CPG brands, exposed as a Model Context Protocol server. Six read-only tools over a point-in-time Amazon Buy Box snapshot across Grocery, Health & Beauty, Household, and Pet Supplies.

A free alternative to NielsenIQ / SPINS syndicated category data — accessible from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, Cursor, Continue, agent frameworks).

What it does

Given a price and a category, the server answers questions like:

  • Where does this Amazon price sit against 100+ tracked competitors?

  • Is the category trending up, stable, or falling over the last 30 days?

  • What are the budget / midmarket / premium price bands?

  • How do these N SKUs stack against each other on the shelf?

The server returns derived statistics only — percentile rank, Price Index, trend direction, tier bands. No raw competitor prices are exposed.
