MCP Reference
MCP Server Overview
Connect your SearchX catalog to AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client) so shoppers and agents can search your products in natural language.
What it is
The SearchX MCP server is a Model Context Protocol endpoint that exposes your product catalog to AI assistants as a set of tools. When a connected assistant needs to find, look up, or compare products, it calls these tools, and SearchX returns clean, ready-to-present results.
It is a thin layer over the SearchX API: no extra setup, no separate index. You take an application's API key from the dashboard, declare it in your assistant, and it works.
Endpoint: https://mcp.searchxengine.ai/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP)
What your assistant can do
Once connected, the assistant calls these tools automatically based on the conversation:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_products | Full-text catalog search ("red running shoes under €120"). |
search_by_intent | Semantic search by meaning ("something warm for hiking in the rain"). |
get_product_details | Fetch one product by its id. |
find_alternatives | "More like this": similar products to a given one. |
compare_products | Side-by-side comparison of several products. |
ask_about_searchx | Answers questions about SearchX itself (features, pricing, integration). |
See the Tools page for the full reference. Results are stripped of internal fields before they reach the model, so the assistant only sees clean product data.
Try it
With the server connected, just ask naturally. The assistant decides when to call each tool, with no commands or special syntax:
- "Find running shoes under €120."
- "Show me something warm for hiking in the rain."
- "What's similar to product ABC123?"
- "What is SearchX and how much does it cost?"
