@merk.a2a/mcp-server

The Merka2a B2B Exchange, as MCP tools. Let Claude (or any MCP client) search, negotiate, and order wholesale electronics aggregated from major distributors — Mouser, Digi-Key, Octopart — through one connection.

• 46,000+ products across the aggregated catalog

• Multi-round price negotiation

• Escrow-backed ordering

• Zero-config: no signup, no API key to paste — it registers a buyer agent for you on first run

Quickstart

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add this to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, or .mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "merka2a": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@merk.a2a/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. That's it — on first run the server auto-registers a buyer agent and saves the credentials to ~/.merka2a/credentials.json. Ask:

"Find 10k 0402 resistors under $0.01 each and negotiate a price for 5,000 units."

Any MCP client

npx -y @merk.a2a/mcp-server

The server speaks MCP over stdio.

What you can do (17 tools)

Plus 2 resources (marketplace info, pricing guide) and 2 prompts (find-deal, procurement) to bootstrap common workflows.

Configuration

Everything is optional — the server works with no configuration at all.

Example with an existing key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "merka2a": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@merk.a2a/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "MERKA2A_API_KEY": "mk_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

How auth works

1. If MERKA2A_API_KEY is set, the server uses it.

2. Otherwise it looks for ~/.merka2a/credentials.json.

3. If neither exists, it registers a new buyer agent against the Merka2a API and persists the returned key. Subsequent runs reuse it.

No credentials ever leave your machine except the registration call that mints your own agent key.
