Use Periskop through MCP or REST.
Connect the MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, and other ChatGPT-compatible or custom agent runtimes, or call the REST endpoint from any app backend. Keys, usage, billing, docs, and OpenAPI live in the developer portal.

Drop Periskop into your existing automation stack, native steps for Dify, n8n, and Pipedream.
Difyn8nPipedreamSearch returns links. Periskop returns the right products.
A generic agent searches, opens page after page, and re-reads it with an LLM on every request, slow, token-heavy, unreliable. Periskop returns the products in one structured call, with a paste-ready reply your agent renders directly.
Onboarded does not mean trusted.
Periskop validates store structure, product extraction, price readability, link validity, image presence, and stability before a store can influence recommendations. Stores earn the right to shape recommendations.
- Accessible
- Product pages found
- Product cards detected
- Product extraction
- Price readability
- Link validity
- Image presence
- Stability / latency
- Trusted, can shape best picks
- Limited, alternatives or restricted contexts
- Rejected, cannot influence recommendations
Checkout was always solved. Knowing what to buy wasn't, until Periskop.
Payments, carts, and fulfillment already have a hundred providers, that part was never the problem. The unanswered question is the valuable one: out of everything for sale, what should your agent actually recommend? Periskop is that layer. It finds the right in-stock products and hands off a clean merchant link; your existing rails do the rest.

One call. Build whatever needs live products and prices.
The same run_shopping_discovery call powers a chat assistant, a computer-use agent, a price-monitoring bot, an arbitrage scanner, a procurement workflow, a commerce copilot, a whole shopping app, and whatever you imagine next. You ship the experience; Periskop is the one call underneath.
Real, in-stock picks dropped straight into chat, ranked, priced, and linked.
Product discovery for the agents you are building.
For AI shopping assistants, browser and computer-use agents, procurement workflows, commerce copilots, recommendation systems, and AI-native shopping apps.
Common questions
What is Periskop?+
Periskop is product discovery for AI agents. One MCP/API call turns a shopping request into real, in-stock products, with live prices, working merchant links, alternatives, inferred bundles, caveats, a paste-ready reply, and a result_id, so your agent can recommend instead of crawling the web on every request.
Who is this for?+
Developers building AI shopping assistants, browser and computer-use agents, procurement and ops workflows, commerce copilots, recommendation features, accessibility shopping, and AI-native shopping apps.
How does it work?+
You send a prompt to run_shopping_discovery over MCP or REST. Periskop retrieves and ranks across quality-gated merchants and returns a structured response, items or an inferred bundle, plus a paste-ready suggested_agent_reply and next_actions, your agent renders directly. No per-site browsing, no runtime scraping.
Do merchants need to integrate?+
No. Periskop validates store structure, extraction, prices, links, images, and stability so only quality-gated, discovery-ready supply can influence results. Merchants don't lift a finger.
Is this just search?+
No. Search returns links you still have to open and reason over. Periskop returns the products themselves, ranked, in-stock, priced, and linked, in one call, with match_quality and caveats.
Do you handle checkout or carts?+
No. No checkout, no payments, merchant links only. Periskop never buys, places orders, or creates merchant checkout carts. Users complete purchases on merchant sites.
What happens when no good product exists?+
Periskop marks items match_quality: null and returns caveats rather than a forced or hallucinated pick, plus the closest matches and alternatives. Every result carries a result_id, so you can re-fetch it later with get_discovery_result.
What is the MCP/API?+
An MCP server for agent runtimes (Claude Code, Cursor, custom agents) and a REST endpoint for app backends. Keys, usage, billing, docs, and OpenAPI live in the developer portal.
How does pricing work?+
Usage-based: €7 per 1,000 shopping requests, with free credits on your first API key. Early access is founder-led onboarding.
