WallScout in your AI assistant
Connect WallScout to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor with one URL. Then just ask: sales estimates, real profit, sellers, your watchlist and bulk analyses, on your own account.
Included in the Pro plan. Paste it as a custom connector, sign in to WallScout once, and you’re set. Not on Pro yet? Start a free Pro trial.
What you can ask
Set it up in two minutes
Every assistant needs the same thing: the server URL below. The first time it calls WallScout, it opens a WallScout sign-in page. Sign in, check which app is asking, and click Allow access. Some apps, like Cursor, then leave your browser on a localhost page that can’t load. That’s normal: the app is already connected, so you can close the tab.
https://app.wallscout.io/api/mcpMenu names move around between versions and plans, so if a step looks different, look for “connectors” or “MCP” in the settings.
Claude (web, desktop and mobile)
- Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds it once in the organization settings.
- Name it WallScout, paste the URL and add it.
- Click Connect, sign in to WallScout and allow access. A connector you add on the web is available in the Claude apps too.
ChatGPT
- Open Settings → Apps & Connectors. Depending on your plan, custom connectors may need developer mode (under Advanced settings) or an admin on Business plans.
- Create a connector named WallScout with the URL above and OAuth as the authentication.
- Sign in to WallScout, allow access, then pick WallScout from the tools menu in a new chat.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http wallscout https://app.wallscout.io/api/mcpThen run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate next to wallscout.
Cursor
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project’s .cursor/mcp.json), then connect it from Cursor’s MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"wallscout": { "url": "https://app.wallscout.io/api/mcp" }
}
}VS Code
Add this to .vscode/mcp.json, then start the server from the editor and sign in when asked:
{
"servers": {
"wallscout": { "type": "http", "url": "https://app.wallscout.io/api/mcp" }
}
}Other assistants
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth works with the URL above. For a client that can only start local servers, use the open-source mcp-remote bridge:
npx -y mcp-remote https://app.wallscout.io/api/mcpThe tools your assistant gets
Your assistant picks the right tool on its own. Here is what each one does and what it uses from your plan.
| Tool | What it does | Uses |
|---|---|---|
analyze_product | Monthly sales and revenue estimate, trend, price history, buy box seller, sellers, reviews, listing quality and verdict | 1 analysis (free if re-run within 12 h) |
calculate_profit | Profit, margin and ROI from your unit cost, Walmart’s referral fee and WFS or your own shipping | Free |
get_sellers | Every seller on a listing, with price, delivery price and stock | Free |
list_my_analyses | Your most recent analyses, from the app, the extension or the assistant | Free |
get_watchlist | Your watchlist with your verdicts and notes | Free |
add_to_watchlist | Save an analyzed product with a verdict and a note | Free |
remove_from_watchlist | Remove a product from your watchlist | Free |
start_bulk_analysis | Analyze up to 500 products in the background, with profit when you give costs | 1 analysis per product |
get_bulk_analysis | Progress and results of a bulk job, best sellers first | Free |
list_bulk_analyses | Your recent bulk jobs | Free |
get_my_account | Your plan, analyses used and left, and included features | Free |
Two ready-made prompts come with it: Should I sell this product? and Review my watchlist. Assistants that support MCP prompts list them in their prompt or slash menu; anywhere else, just ask in your own words.
Same account, same numbers, same quota
The assistant works on your WallScout account. An analysis it runs shows up in your history in the web app, counts against your plan like any other, and returns the same estimate you would see on the result page, along with a link to open it there. AI assistants come with the Pro plan, along with everything else in it.
Monthly estimates come from a product’s weekly sales history; bulk results show one recent week. If a product has too little history, WallScout says the demand is unknown rather than zero.
Security and privacy
- Standard OAuth sign-in. You approve each assistant on a WallScout page that shows which app is asking and where you’ll be sent back. Assistants never see your password.
- Disconnect any time. Account → AI assistants lists every connected app. Disconnecting cuts its access to your data straight away.
- Nothing beyond your own account. An assistant can’t see your payment details or change your plan.
- What we keep. Analyses are saved to your history as usual. For each tool call we record which tool ran and whether it worked, not your conversation. Your chats stay with your AI provider, under their privacy policy.
Frequently asked questions
What is an MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside tools. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and many others support it. Once you connect the WallScout MCP server, your assistant can run WallScout analyses on your account when you ask it to, and answer with real data instead of guesses.
Which plan do I need?
The MCP server is included in the Pro plan at no extra cost, and Founder accounts have it too. The 7-day free Pro trial includes it as well, with the trial’s 50 analyses. Each new product analysis counts against your plan exactly like it does in the web app or the Chrome extension, and re-analyzing the same product within 12 hours is free. Profit calculations, your watchlist, your history and seller lists do not use analyses. On other plans, the WallScout sign-in screen offers to upgrade.
Is there a usage limit?
Your plan’s analyses are the main one. On top of that, to keep WallScout fast for everyone, an assistant can make up to 60 requests a minute per account, including 10 new analyses, and up to 100 new analyses a day. For a longer list, ask it to run a bulk analysis: one request handles up to 500 products. A normal conversation never gets close.
Which AI assistants work with WallScout?
Any assistant that can connect to a remote MCP server over HTTP with OAuth sign-in: Claude (web, desktop and mobile), Claude Code, ChatGPT (where your plan allows custom connectors), Cursor, VS Code and others. Assistants that only run local servers can connect through the open-source mcp-remote bridge.
Do I have to share my password or an API key?
No. When you connect, WallScout opens its own sign-in page and asks you to allow the assistant. The assistant receives a token for your account, never your password. You can see and disconnect every connected assistant in Account → AI assistants.
What can the assistant do on my account?
Run analyses (using your plan’s quota), read your analyses, watchlist, bulk results and usage, add to or remove from your watchlist, and start bulk analyses. It cannot see your password or payment details, and it cannot change or cancel your plan.
Why does the assistant give monthly numbers for one product and weekly numbers in a bulk list?
A single analysis estimates units per month from the product’s weekly sales history. Bulk results show one recent week per product, which is cheaper to fetch for hundreds of products. The tool results say which is which, and a good assistant will keep them apart. Ask it to analyze a product on its own when you want the monthly figure.
Will it connect to my Walmart Seller Center?
Not yet. Today the MCP server works with WallScout’s product research: estimates, profit, sellers, watchlist and bulk. Tools that work with your own Walmart store (listing quality, buy box alerts, inventory) are on the roadmap.
