IronScout MCP server

The IronScout MCP server exposes the read-only IronScout Data Services surface to AI agents. It returns observed pricing data, current offers, caliber market snapshots, canonical calibers, and eligible retailers.

Connection

MCP clients should connect to the Streamable HTTP endpoint below. The v1 surface is public, unauthenticated, read-only, and idempotent.

https://mcp.ironscout.ai/mcp

Discovery metadata is published at /.well-known/mcp.json. The binding data contract remains IronScout Data Services (IDS) v1.

Tools

search_offers

Search canonical ammunition products and current per-retailer offers.

get_product

Fetch a canonical product with current offers.

get_market_snapshot

Fetch descriptive caliber-level price distribution statistics.

list_calibers

List every canonical caliber with snapshot availability.

list_retailers

Boundaries

MCP is a transport over IDS, not a separate data path. The API remains responsible for retailer visibility, append-only history semantics, fail-closed behavior, outbound attribution, and citation fields.

No purchase recommendations, verdicts, deal scores, or price predictions.
Only currently eligible retailer data is returned.
Ambiguous state returns an explicit error or omits data rather than filling gaps.
Outbound retailer links must use returned outUrl values as provided.
