E-Commerce Product Hunt MCP Server

🛍️ E-Commerce Product Hunt

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that finds the lowest-priced products with good ratings (4+ stars) across major Pakistani e-commerce platforms including Daraz, Telemart, and iShopping.

MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol that enables AI applications to securely connect to external data sources and tools. It acts as a bridge between AI models (like Gemini) and various services, databases, APIs, and applications.

MCP Architecture Components:

• MCP Servers - Provide specific tools, resources, or data to clients
• MCP Clients - AI applications that want to access external resources
• Transport Layer - Communication mechanism between clients and servers

🎯 Project Overview

This project demonstrates MCP implementation by creating:

1. MCP Server: Provides three tools for scraping Pakistani e-commerce sites
2. MCP Client: Uses LangChain + Google Gemini to orchestrate tool calls
3. Streamlit Frontend: User-friendly web interface for product searches

Note: In this project both server and client run on the same host for learning purposes.

✨ Features

• 🔍 Multi-Platform Search: Scrapes Daraz, Telemart, and iShopping simultaneously
• ⭐ Quality Filtering: Prioritizes products with 4+ star ratings
• 💰 Price Search: Finds the lowest-priced genuine products
• 🤖 AI-Powered: Uses Google Gemini for intelligent product matching
• 💬 Chat Interface: Conversational UI with memory
• 🚀 Async Processing: Non-blocking operations for better performance

🚀 Installation & Setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/FassihShah/PriceHunt-MCP.git
cd PriceHunt-MCP

2. Create Virtual Environment

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

Since we're using uv, install dependencies with:

# If using uv (recommended)
uv install

# Or using pip with requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you don't have uv installed:

# Install uv first
pip install uv
# Then install dependencies
uv install

4. Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root:

GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_gemini_api_key_here
