MercadoLibre MCP Server

An MCP server that provides access to MercadoLibre API.

IMPORTANT: due to changes in MercadoLibre's API policies, it is no longer possible to access their search API. As a result, we have had to deprecate the search_products tool. This change is in compliance with MercadoLibre's new restrictions on API usage. Other tools remain functional and will continue to be supported.

Features

Tools

• search_products - DEPRECATED: Search products in MercadoLibre, and return a list of products. (No longer available due to API policy changes)
  • query - The search query
  • category - The category to search in
  • filters - The filters to apply
• product_reviews - Get product reviews
• product_description - Get product description
• seller_reputation - Get seller reputation

Once you have the credentials, you can set the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET environment variables. And theres also the need to set the SITE_ID environment variable to the site you want to use.

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
