# Channel3 MCP — AI Connector Channel3 MCP publishes 2 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/channel3-mcp/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Commerce & Shopping](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/commerce-shopping/) # Channel3 MCP Product search and price history across retailers for agents Listed in Claude · 2 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://docs.trychannel3.com/) [trychannel3.com](https://trychannel3.com/) Overview ## What Channel3 MCP does Channel3 is a product discovery index built for software agents rather than a storefront. The endpoint answered an unauthenticated tools/list and returned six tools where the listing claims two, so the surface is wider than the published record suggests. Search covers a stated catalogue of over 100 million products across thousands of retailers, with follow-on calls for full product data, offers, images and attributes by product ID or retailer URL. Four of the six are labelled for a storefront interface: paging, similar products, live offers and thirty-day price history. Vendor copy is a single line, so the tool descriptions carry most of what can be learned here. ### Who it is for Developers building shopping agents or storefront experiences on top of a product index. ### Tool surface Six tools came back against two in the listing, and all six read: \`search\_products\`, \`get\_products\`, \`browse\_products\`, \`get\_similar\`, \`get\_details\` and \`get\_price\_history\`. Nothing writes, so this indexes products rather than transacting on them. Availability ## Where Channel3 MCP is listed Channel3 MCP is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Channel3 has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Channel3 MCP publishes 2 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 5.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Commerce & Shopping publishes 5, so this one sits 3 tools below its bucket's median, 26th of 35. It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 6 tools, 4 more than the 2 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `search_products` - `get_products` - `browse_products` - `get_similar` - `get_details` - `get_price_history` Channel3 MCP publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Channel3 Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Commerce & Shopping Endpoint `https://mcp.trychannel3.com/` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://docs.trychannel3.com/) Published tools 2 · 1-3 tools band Depth rank in Commerce & Shopping 26 of 35 Snapshot August 2026 Channel3 MCP is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Channel3 describes it > Channel3 lets agents discovery products online.
