Apify product lookup

A model answers product questions from training data that was fixed months ago, or by reading a page as prose with no product fields. This skill routes the question to a hosted Actor that reads retailer pages on request and returns structured records: price, currency, stock, rating, image URLs, and a link.

Written by a product marketing manager at Apify. It calls E-commerce Scraping Tool, a paid first-party Apify Actor, so weigh the framing accordingly. Everything below is what testing against the live Actor returned, including where it does not work.

Setup

The MCP endpoint is https://mcp.apify.com. Appending ?tools=apify/e-commerce-scraping-tool narrows the server to this one Actor, which makes tool selection more reliable when product data is the only job. Authentication is OAuth on first use for interactive clients, or a bearer token for unattended ones. An Apify account is required and the Actor is paid, billed per run started plus per product returned.
