## Every store’s price, not only yours

Google’s Merchant API manages the products you sell. Scraper APIs reach Shopping results, but they need a key and code that calls them. Manifold puts the results, each store’s price and the reviews in your agent from one URL.

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Any product, not only yours | Yes | Your own products | Yes |
| Every store’s price for one product | Usually | No | Yes, with shipping and tax |
| Works in Claude.ai and ChatGPT | No, code you run | No | Yes, hosted |
| Needs an account or key | An API key | Merchant Center account | No |
| Edit your own listings and feeds | No | Yes | No, public data only |
| Setup | Key and code | Account and API access | Paste one URL |

## Questions about the Google Shopping MCP

### Is there an official Google Shopping MCP server?

Google’s Merchant API manages the products you sell in Merchant Center. It does not search Shopping or read other stores’ prices. Manifold does both, from the public Shopping results.

### How do I compare prices for one product?

Ask your agent. It searches Shopping first, which returns three ids per product, then reads every store selling the one that matches, with base price, shipping, tax and total. A seller list is 2 credits. [What each Shopping tool returns](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/tools/shopping.md).

### Why can a call take up to a minute?

Google Shopping is read live for each request rather than from a stored index, so results are current but not instant. Your agent waits for them in the same call.

### Can it read product reviews?

Yes. Reviews are pooled from the stores that sell the product, with the count at each star rating and the site each review came from.

### Does it cover Amazon?

Amazon has its own tools on the same server: results pages with sponsored products, listings, sellers and the searches a product ranks for. [Amazon MCP](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/mcp/amazon.md).

### Which clients does it work with?

Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode and any other client that connects to a remote MCP server. Sign in with OAuth, or use an API key from the dashboard for scripts. [Setup guides for every client](https://www.manifoldmcp.com/docs/clients.md).
