Ecommerce Store Discovery MCP Server
An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Ecommerce Store Discovery actor on Apify. Give it product keywords and a platform. Each run finds stores through Google, confirms each one on its own homepage, and returns one row per store.
What's Inside
Related MCP server: Shop Search MCP
What it does
Searches Google with each keyword plus a footprint the platform prints on its stores, and drops marketplaces, social networks, and reference sites.
Reads each candidate's robots.txt and homepage, and returns the store only when the homepage carries the platform's marks, with the evidence and a confidence.
Per store: payment methods, subscription apps, currencies, Shopify product count, Tranco rank band and trend, contact emails, phone, and Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok links from the homepage.
Unconfirmed sites are skipped and not charged.
All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.
Quick start
You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.
Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mamba-ecommerce-store-discovery": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mambalabsdev/mcp-ecommerce-store-discovery"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
}
}
}
}Restart the client. The discover_ecommerce_stores tool appears.
Prerequisites
Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as
APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.
Example prompts
"Find 30 Shopify stores that sell coffee beans and show their product counts and contact emails."
"Which WooCommerce stores in the UK sell dog treats?"
"List BigCommerce stores selling auto parts, with their payment providers."
Tool
discover_ecommerce_stores. One tool. Example arguments:
{
"keywords": ["coffee beans"],
"platform": "shopify",
"max_stores": "25"

Scored across 1 tool
There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of selecting the wrong tool or confusing overlapping purposes. Its purpose is clearly stated as ecommerce store discovery.
The single tool name follows a clear snake_case verb_noun pattern: discover_ecommerce_stores. Although there is only one name, it is descriptive and internally consistent.
A single tool is thin for an MCP server, even one narrowly focused on store discovery. The tool itself is broad and complex, but the surface offers no separate lookup, filtering, or result-management operations.
The discovery operation returns rich store-level details, platform evidence, contact data, social links, ranking context, and error run IDs. Minor gaps remain, such as no follow-up lookup by domain or pagination/result-management tools, but the core discovery workflow is covered.
