User:   "Find me wireless earbuds under $50 available in Singapore"

Agent: [calls search_products → returns 5 matching products]

User: "Compare the top 3" Agent: [calls compare_products → side-by-side with best-value pick]

import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core';

import { MastraMCPClient } from '@mastra/mcp';

const buywhere = new MastraMCPClient({ name: 'buywhere', server: { url: new URL('https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp'), requestInit: { headers: { 'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.BUYWHERE_API_KEY} }, }, }, });

const agent = new Mastra({ agents: { shoppingAgent: { instructions: 'You are a shopping assistant. Use BuyWhere to find and compare products.', tools: await buywhere.tools(), }, }, });

const result = await agent.agents.shoppingAgent.generate( 'Find me the best deal on a Sony WH-1000XM5 in Singapore' );

LangChain

Use BuyWhere tools in LangChain agents via the MCP adapter:

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient

from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic

async def main(): async with MultiServerMCPClient({ "buywhere": { "url": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp", "transport": "streamable_http", "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {BUYWHERE_API_KEY}"}, } }) as client: tools = await client.get_tools() agent = create_react_agent(ChatAnthropic(model="claude-sonnet-4-5"), tools) result = await agent.ainvoke({"messages": [("user", "Find the cheapest Sony headphones in Singapore")]})

LlamaIndex

Connect BuyWhere via LlamaIndex MCP client:

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec

from llama_index.agent.openai import OpenAIAgent

async def main(): mcp_client = BasicMCPClient( command_or_url="https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp", headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {BUYWHERE_API_KEY}"}, ) mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client) tools = mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list() agent = OpenAIAgent.from_tools(tools) response = await agent.achat("Compare prices for iPhone 16 Pro across Singapore and US")

CrewAI

Use BuyWhere in a CrewAI agent with MCP tool integration:

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter

buywhere_server = MCPServerAdapter( server_params={ "url": "https://api.buywhere.ai/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": f"Bearer {BUYWHERE_API_KEY}"}, "transport": "streamable-http", } )

shopping_agent = Agent( role="Shopping Research Analyst", goal="Find the best deals across Singapore and US markets", tools=[buywhere_server], )

task = Task( description="Find the best price for Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones across all available markets", agent=shopping_agent, expected_output="Product comparison with prices and merchant links", )

crew = Crew(agents=[shopping_agent], tasks=[task]) result = crew.kickoff()
