Agent access

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

List currently eligible retailers only.

In-browser tools (WebMCP)

Every page on this site also registers tools through navigator.modelContext, the WebMCP browser API. An agent that has navigated here can call them directly rather than reading the rendered page. Registration happens on page load and is undone when the page goes away.

The first three are the same tools as the server above — same names, same parameters, same relayed body. The rest are browser-only: they act on the current tab, and none reuses a server tool name, so a shared name always means shared behaviour. get_market_snapshot is not part of this surface; use the server for caliber statistics.

search_offers

Relay of the IDS search endpoint — same tool, by name and parameters, as the server above.

get_product

Relay of the IDS product endpoint.

list_retailers

Relay of the IDS retailer directory.

list_caliber_pages

Caliber hub pages this site publishes, with canonical spellings and URLs.

navigate_site

Navigate the current tab to a named section of this site.

navigate_to_caliber_page

Navigate the current tab to one caliber's hub page.

get_page_context

Which page this tab is on, and the machine-readable resources this site publishes.

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.
