Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Cached US grocery prices, age disclosed on every row - search, compare across banners, coverage.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http splitbasket-prices https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "splitbasket-prices": {
      "url": "https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "splitbasket-prices": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer sk_live_... - free API keys from team@splitbasket.shop (closed beta, human-issued)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Splitbasket Prices safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

SplitBasket Grocery Prices — MCP server & data API

Cached US grocery prices for developers and agents, from the price panel behind SplitBasket. Every price carries its observation date; the API tells you what it can answer at a location before you ask, and returns found: false rather than a plausible wrong number.

  • API docs & quickstart: https://splitbasket.shop/developers
  • Terms: https://splitbasket.shop/api-terms
  • Get a key (free, closed beta): email team@splitbasket.shop — one line about what you're building; keys are issued by a human, usually within a day.

Connect over MCP

Endpoint: https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP, bearer auth)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http splitbasket \

https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP works the same way — point it at the endpoint with the Authorization header.

Or plain HTTP

curl "https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/compare_price?q=whole+milk&zip=94110" \

-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."

Tools

toolwhat it does
search_productsFind products near a location, with the price each nearby store last showed
get_priceThe cached price of one exact product (banner + product_id) at one place
compare_priceBest match at each banner for one query, ranked on canonical unit price
coverageWhat the API can actually answer at a location — call this first in an unfamiliar area
live_checkFetch from the retailer right now (paid tier); returns a job id + measured ETA
live_check_statusPoll a live_check job

Coverage, honestly

Two layers (measured weekly — 2026-08-09; coverage is the runtime source of truth):

  • National layer — six banners: Walmart, Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sam's Club, Aldi. 51 states (incl. DC) with at least one priced, 2+ banner comparison in 50, 3+ in 46 (measured 2026-08-11). These stores are priced weekly against a ~43-item staples basket.
  • Deep metros — San Francisco, Fresno, Phoenix, Austin: 7–17 banners with full shopping catalogs.

Prices are cached observations, not live quotes. Exact-match rate by cache age, measured over 275k observation pairs: 99.6% under a day, 93.8% at a week, 79.9% at 30 days. Every row carries price_as_of and price_age_days; pass max_age_days to enforce what your use case tolerates.

What this deliberately is not

  • No basket optimizer. To estimate a basket, call compare_price per item and sum it yourself.
  • No state-level answers where prices measurably don't hold state-wide. Chain-wide for target, smartandfinal, bashas, frys, foodsco — and per-state where a chain is bimodal: Costco in ten measured states, Whole Foods in CA and NV. Measured, not assumed; the demote list tracks the weekly panel.
  • No blended accuracy score. Price staleness is bimodal: a stale price is either exactly right or meaningfully wrong, so we disclose age instead of averaging it away.
