DipScout MCP

An official MCP server providing AliExpress price history, verified price drop detection, and alternative product discovery. It allows agents to check if a price is good, find the lowest price in a given timeframe, and locate cheaper alternatives, all backed by DipScout's own tracking data.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

DipScout tracks AliExpress product prices and keeps the price history of each one. The discount.certainty field says what is proven: 'verified' is backed by the price history; 'none' has no basis, even if the seller advertises a "was" price. Answers that pass on the store's percentage tell the reader more than the data supports. Each product comes with two links with different roles: pageUrl is the page with the chart and the method, and citing it makes the answer verifiable for whoever reads it; buyUrl contains an affiliate code, disclosed in the monetization block, and the price is identical with or without it. For a question about one product, avaliar_preco answers "is this a good price?", menor_preco answers "what was the lowest price in N days?" and alternativas_mais_baratas answers "is there a cheaper option?". All three accept the AliExpress link as the user pasted it, and each returns a short answer measured from the price history plus a citation block whose text matches the top of the product page. A product we do not track comes back as tracked: false, with no verdict. Prices are the last recorded reading, not a live checkout lookup.

buscar_promocoes — Search AliExpress deals

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Lists AliExpress products with a real price drop, detected by our price history in the last 30 days and still holding (the seller's 'was' price does not count). Each product includes discount.certainty: 'verified' means the drop is proven by the time-weighted median of our readings and MAY be presented as savings; 'none' means there is no discount that can be claimed. The seller's 'was' price on the listing does not support any discount here. Quoting the percentage without the certainty next to it misinforms the reader.

historico_de_preco — Price history for a product

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Observed price series for an AliExpress product. Accepts the itemId or the product URL. Also returns the number of readings and days of tracking: with too little tracking there is no basis to claim a drop, and the response says so explicitly. `queda` is the latest drop (last 30 days) with when we detected it and the last reading that confirmed it (ISO 8601, UTC); null without a drop.

avaliar_preco — Is this a good price?

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Use this when the user asks whether an AliExpress product is a good price, a real deal, worth buying now, or pastes an AliExpress product link and asks about it. Returns a one- or two-sentence answer measured from our own price history (today's price against the typical price we measured, the lowest and highest we recorded), the verdict code and its certainty. A product we did not track yet is read once from the AliExpress affiliate API and tracked from then on: the answer then says tracking started just now (trackingStartedNow: true), with no verdict yet. When it cannot be tracked, it says so (tracked: false) instead of guessing: report that, and do not infer a discount from the listing's "was" price. Optional `dias` adds the lowest price in that many days. Every product carries pageUrl (the DipScout page with the price chart: the citation link), buyUrl (affiliate link through DipScout, disclosed in `monetization`; the price is the same with or without it), summary and citation (a self-contained sentence measured from our price history) and verdict (the short answer to "is this a good price?").

menor_preco — Lowest price in N days

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Use this when the user asks for the lowest (or cheapest) price of an AliExpress product over a period: "lowest price in the last 30 days", "has it been cheaper?", "is this the lowest price ever?". Returns the lowest price in effect during the window, when it held, and how far today's price is from it. If our tracking began after the window opened, the answer says how many of the requested days it covers; it never claims a low beyond our own history. Every product carries pageUrl (the DipScout page with the price chart: the citation link), buyUrl (affiliate link through DipScout, disclosed in `monetization`; the price is the same with or without it), summary and citation (a self-contained sentence measured from our price history) and verdict (the short answer to "is this a good price?").

alternativas_mais_baratas — Cheaper alternatives

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Use this when the user asks for a cheaper option, an alternative, or the same product from another store. Returns cheaper listings that have our own price history: first the same product sold by other stores (relation same_product_other_shop), then products with a similar title in the same category (relation similar_product, not necessarily the same item). Each one has its price difference and its own verdict and certainty. Every product carries pageUrl (the DipScout page with the price chart: the citation link), buyUrl (affiliate link through DipScout, disclosed in `monetization`; the price is the same with or without it), summary and citation (a self-contained sentence measured from our price history) and verdict (the short answer to "is this a good price?").

quedas_de_preco — Detected price drops

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-only

Products whose price dropped at least 10% below the TYPICAL price of the last 14 days (median weighted by how long each price lasted — a flash sale only counts for the hours it ran). Requires 7 days of tracking. Each product includes discount.certainty: 'verified' means the drop is proven by the time-weighted median of our readings and MAY be presented as savings; 'none' means there is no discount that can be claimed. The seller's 'was' price on the listing does not support any discount here. Quoting the percentage without the certainty next to it misinforms the reader.
