About
Unofficial read-only MCP server for Greek supermarket price data from PosoKanei.
README
Unofficial read-only MCP server for supermarket product and price data from PosoKanei.
This server lets MCP-compatible clients ask questions such as:
- Search for supermarket products by name.
- Look up a product by barcode.
- Compare current retailer prices for a product.
- Compare a small shopping basket across retailers.
- Browse product categories and retailers.
Status
Early open-source version. The implementation uses public, undocumented endpoints used by the PosoKanei web app. Keep requests modest and cache-friendly.
This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by PosoKanei, gov.gr, or any Greek public authority.
