Drop Beacon MCP

A remote MCP server for Drop Beacon that enables agents to search EDC products, track new drops, compare live prices across retailers, check deals, and retrieve brand information using a public HTTPS catalog API without requiring authentication.

Server-provided instructions

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

Drop Beacon tracks everyday-carry gear (knives, flashlights, fidget sliders and coins, pens, multitools) across retailers. Use search_products to find a product, find_offers for live in-stock prices and tracked buy links, deal_check to judge a price against Drop Beacon's observed range, top_deals for the biggest live discounts, upcoming for new drops and free giveaways, and get_brand_info for a brand. When a reply says the product match is ambiguous, confirm the model with the user. Prices are observations that can change; the retailer page is authoritative at checkout. Respect local knife laws.

search_products — Search EDC products
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Search Drop Beacon's catalog of 150,000+ everyday-carry products (knives, flashlights, fidget sliders and coins, pens, multitools). Returns matching products with brand, the catalog price and the edc4me.com page; models and configurations (steel, color) are separate products. Use find_offers next for live prices across retailers.

find_offers — Find live offers across retailers
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

For one product, list the retailers that currently have it in stock, with price, configuration (blade steel, color, finish), when Drop Beacon last checked, any coupon, and a tracked buy link. If a name matches several models, the reply says so and lists other_matches. Prices are observed by Drop Beacon and can change; the retailer page is authoritative at checkout.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Compare a product's lowest current in-stock price with the range Drop Beacon has observed (90-day low, all-time low, high, how long it has been watched) and return a plain verdict with a confidence level. Summary only; it does not return the full price history.

top_deals — Biggest discounts right now
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Live markdowns across the EDC products Drop Beacon tracks: in-stock items priced at least 10% below the seller's own compare-at ("was") price, checked in the last 3 days. Each result has the price, the was-price, percent and dollars off, the lowest price Drop Beacon itself has recorded (to sanity-check the was-price), any coupon, and a tracked buy link. Filter by keyword, category or brand.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (1 of 1 answered).

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me https://edc4me.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me --url https://edc4me.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me": {
      "url": "https://edc4me.com/mcp"

  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).

}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me and inspect its tools.

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http drop-beacon-mcp-edc4me https://edc4me.com/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
