Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only MCP server for the Budna second-hand marketplace, letting an assistant search listings, sellers, categories, live streams and shipping rates.

What you can do
  • Search and filter public listings, and read one listing's details, attributes, related listings and seller's other listings
  • Browse featured, newest and brand listings, plus the category tree, category filters, filter options, brands, locations and search suggestions
  • Read bid summaries and bid history with anonymous bidders, public rating summaries, listing questions and chat, and public seller profiles and ratings
  • Browse collections and live shopping streams, and get domestic shipping rates per carrier and package size
  • Optionally, on the hosted account endpoint, read your own listings, bids, offers, watchlists, orders, messages, payments and profile with permissions you grant
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to research or compare items on the Budna marketplace, check prices, bids, seller reputation or shipping costs, or (with a connected account) review your own Budna activity. Public tools need no account.
Requirements
A local MCP client that can launch a stdio process. Install via prebuilt binary, npm (needs Node.js), Homebrew or Cargo (needs Rust 1.88+). Public tools need no account or API key. Account tools require adding the hosted account endpoint and signing in with OAuth, granting permissions per app. Optional environment variables BUDNA_API_URL, BUDNA_PUBLIC_LISTING_ORIGIN and BUDNA_IMAGE_ORIGIN point at a non-production environment.
Before you install
The server is read-only today and cannot bid, buy, message or change marketplace data, though the README says such actions are planned. Account access exposes personal data such as orders, messages, payments and disputes, so grant only the permissions you need; connections last at most seven days and can be revoked, but data already shared cannot be recalled. Marketplace text is untrusted and should not be treated as instructions. Search may record standard analytics.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Budna MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Budna MCP

[build] [crates.io] [npm] [MCP Registry] [Homebrew]

Use Budna from any compatible MCP client. Explore the public marketplace with no account or API key, or optionally connect your Budna account so your AI assistant can read your own account, listings, bids, offers, watchlists, saved searches, purchases, sales, disputes, messages, payments, notifications and ratings, with the permissions you choose. Budna MCP is read-only: it cannot change marketplace data.

Quick start

Shell (macOS / Linux)

Install a prebuilt binary without Node.js or Rust:

sh
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/budna-marketplace/mcp/releases/latest/download/budna-mcp-installer.sh | sh

PowerShell (Windows)

Run in PowerShell 5.1 or newer:

powershell
irm https://github.com/budna-marketplace/mcp/releases/latest/download/budna-mcp-installer.ps1 | iex

Restart your terminal if the installer adds its directory to PATH, then check budna-mcp --version.

npm / npx

Requires Node.js.

bash
npm install --global @budna-marketplace/mcp

For clients that launch the server through npx:

text
command: npxarguments: --yes @budna-marketplace/mcp

Homebrew

bash
brew install budna-marketplace/tap/budna-mcp

Homebrew installs Rust automatically and builds from source.

Cargo

You need Rust 1.88 or newer.

Install the latest published release:

bash
cargo install budna-mcp --locked

To install from a local checkout:

bash
cargo install --path crates/budna-mcp --locked

Add to Codex

On macOS or Linux:

bash
codex mcp add budna -- "$(command -v budna-mcp)"codex mcp get budna

On Windows PowerShell:

powershell
$budna = (Get-Command budna-mcp).Sourcecodex mcp add budna -- $budnacodex mcp get budna

Start a new Codex task after adding the server, then ask:

Use Budna to find public camera listings.

The Codex MCP documentation covers project-scoped configuration and other client options.

Add to another stdio MCP client

Configure the absolute path returned by command -v budna-mcp (or (Get-Command budna-mcp).Source on Windows) with no arguments:

text
command: /absolute/path/to/budna-mcparguments: none

For JSON-config clients:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "budna": {      "command": "/absolute/path/to/budna-mcp",      "args": []    }  }}

What you can do

Budna MCP is read-only today. Public tools work with no account in the local budna-mcp binary and at https://api.budna.se/mcp. Account tools are available only on the hosted account resource, after you connect your Budna account and grant the permission they need. The account resource also serves every public tool, so one connection covers both the public marketplace and your own data.

In compatible MCP Apps clients you can also browse interactive listing cards and explicitly ask the AI to compare two to four selected listings.

Budna MCP cannot currently bid, make offers, buy, message, record views, change account settings, or otherwise change marketplace data.

Permissions you control

  • When you connect an app, Budna shows exactly what it asks for and you choose which permissions to grant: Account (account:read), Listings (listings:read), Bids (bids:read), Offers (offers:read), Watchlists and saved searches (watchlist:read), Orders (orders:read), Notifications (notifications:read), Ratings (ratings:read), Payments (payments:read), Messages (messages:read), Profile (profile:read), Selling (selling:read), Following (following:read) and Company (company:read).
  • Account tools name the other buyer or seller only by the public username the app shows, and never reveal who bid on a listing. Addresses, contact details and notification text are never included; message text is shared only with the Messages permission, and dispute statements only with the Orders permission.
  • Under Account → Security → Connected apps you can remove a permission or disconnect an app at any time. Removing a permission takes effect immediately, including for access the app already holds; restoring it requires approving the app again.
  • A connection lasts at most seven days before you approve it again.
  • Disconnecting stops future access, but cannot recall information already shared with the AI service.

Where Budna MCP is going

Budna MCP is growing toward everything you can do in the Budna app and on the web. Next come actions such as bidding, making offers, buying, selling and managing your listings, and messaging. Each new capability will arrive behind its own permission that you grant per app, sensitive actions such as bids and purchases will ask for your explicit confirmation, and you can reduce or revoke access at any time. None of these actions are available yet.

Connect your Budna account

Add https://api.budna.se/account/mcp to your AI client as a remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server. The client opens your browser to sign in to Budna at https://connect.budna.se and shows which permissions it requests; you choose which to grant. See Permissions you control for reducing or removing access later.

ClientSetup
Claude Codeclaude mcp add --transport http budna https://api.budna.se/account/mcp, then /mcp to authenticate
Codexcodex mcp add budna-account --url https://api.budna.se/account/mcp, then codex mcp login budna-account
ChatGPTAdd a custom connector with the URL, OAuth client ID budna-chatgpt and no client secret
Claude (web and desktop)Add a custom connector with the URL and OAuth client ID budna-claude
Visual Studio CodeAdd the URL as an HTTP MCP server
gooseAdd the URL as a remote extension
Gemini CLIAdd the URL with oauth.clientId set to budna-gemini-cli
CursorAdd the URL with OAuth client ID budna-cursor

Other clients are not accepted yet. See Account access for the full permission model and the data each tool returns.

Use a non-production environment

Configure these values together so API requests, public listing links, and images stay in the same environment:

SettingPurpose
BUDNA_API_URLBudna API base URL, including /api/v1 if applicable.
BUDNA_PUBLIC_LISTING_ORIGINOrigin used for returned listing links.
BUDNA_IMAGE_ORIGINOrigin used for returned image URLs and the App CSP.

Remote API URLs must use HTTPS; HTTP is accepted only for loopback development servers. Listing and image values must be canonical HTTPS origins with no credentials, path, query, fragment, or wildcard host. The binary does not load .env files itself; .env.example is reference material.

For example, register a separate Codex server for another environment:

bash
codex mcp add budna-nonprod -- /absolute/path/to/budna-mcp \  --api-url https://api.your-environment.example/api/v1 \  --public-listing-origin https://marketplace.your-environment.example \  --image-origin https://images.your-environment.example

Equivalent environment variables are supported when your client can provide them.

Interactive cards

The Marketplace Explorer is embedded in the binary. Clients that support the MCP Apps extension can render listing cards, details, related/seller listings, and comparison selection. Other clients receive the same text and structured JSON fallback. See the extension support matrix for client coverage.

See the Marketplace Explorer guide for local HTTP testing, temporary-tunnel safety, privacy and attribution behavior, UI development, and release checks.
