Secondhand MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants search secondhand marketplaces. Search Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Depop, and Poshmark for used and secondhand items - filter by price, category, condition, size, and color, then get full listing details with photos, descriptions, and seller info. Its README documents 3 tools, including search_marketplace, get_listing_details, list_marketplaces.

People who work with depop, ebay and facebook marketplace and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

The 3 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what secondhand-mcp lets an agent do.

search_marketplace: - Search for items across marketplaces.
get_listing_details: - Get full details for a specific listing using an ID from search results.
list_marketplaces: - List all enabled marketplaces and their status.

Limitations (from the README)

- Facebook: May break if Facebook changes their frontend - eBay: Requires developer API keys (free tier available) - Depop: Requires Chrome/Chromium installed; slower than Facebook/eBay (~5s per search) - Poshmark: Requires Chrome/Chromium installed; no official API so relies on page scraping - Rate limiting: Don't make too many requests too quickly
