# eBay MCP server

Checked September 2026.

eBay's local server runs on a developer app's keys and makes read-only GET calls against eBay's REST APIs: a seller's listings, inventory, orders, fulfillment, and account settings with a user token, or public item search, item details, and category taxonomy with an application token. It also searches eBay's OpenAPI specs, and writes are blocked in production.

## eBay MCP options

Every fact in a row comes from the publisher's own documentation.

| Option | Audience | Reads or changes | Sign-in | Setup |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| eBay API MCP server, local eBay | Developers | Runs locally on an eBay developer app's Client ID and Secret: searches eBay's OpenAPI specs and makes live GET calls to eBay REST APIs, reading a seller's inventory, orders, and account data with a user token or public marketplace data with an application token; POST, PUT, and DELETE are blocked in production. Installed from the @ebay/npm-public-api-mcp package. Read only | API key or token | [Setup guide →](https://github.com/eBay/npm-public-api-mcp) |

## Connect eBay to your assistant

Each card lists the servers whose setup guide covers that assistant.

### Connect eBay to Claude, Cursor, or VS Code

## One MCP server per tool still can't answer a cross-channel question.

Each server brings its own sign-in, its own definition of revenue, and data your assistant can't join to the rest.

SourceMedium connects 63 commerce and marketing sources, keeps one set of maintained definitions, and gives ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants a single connection to all of it. eBay is not a SourceMedium source today.
