zen-studio-labs 1688 & Alibaba.com MCP

A hosted, read-only remote MCP server that allows AI agents to search for factories, compare wholesale prices, check minimum order quantities (MOQ), and read supplier ratings on 1688.com and Alibaba.com. It supports chaining tools to search for products and then review supplier stores.
