Built on BuyWhere MCP

The Cursor plugin is a thin, zero-config wrapper around @buywhere/mcp-server — the same open-source MCP server powering product search across the entire BuyWhere platform. Whether you're in Cursor, Claude Desktop, Cline, Windsurf, or any other MCP-compatible editor, BuyWhere works the same way.

The underlying BuyWhere API covers 7 countries, 20+ merchant integrations, and 11M+ indexed products — giving AI agents and developers a reliable, normalized product data layer without the merchant-by-merchant scraping nightmare.
