Authentication

Authenticated tools (get_my_listings, create_listing, get_purchases, get_sales) require an active Mercari session in the Browserbase browser. To authenticate:

1. Use Browserbase's live view to navigate to mercari.com and log in manually

2. The session cookies will persist for subsequent tool calls

How It Works

This server uses Playwright to control a browser via Browserbase's CDP endpoint. Each tool call:

1. Connects to the remote browser via CDP

2. Navigates to the relevant Mercari page

3. Extracts or fills in data using DOM selectors

4. Returns structured JSON results
