Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches and analyzes online businesses for sale on Flippa, letting an assistant pull listings, compute valuation metrics and compare market prices.

What you can do
  • Search and browse Flippa listings by property type, status, sale method and sort order, with pagination
  • Fetch full details for a single listing: pricing, revenue, profit, traffic, seller info and verification status
  • Compute valuation metrics for a listing, including revenue and profit multiples, ROI payback and risk factors with a verdict
  • Find comparable listings and aggregate pricing statistics for a type or revenue range
  • Summarize market-wide statistics such as listing counts, price and revenue distributions and verified revenue share
When to use it
Useful when evaluating online businesses for sale on Flippa — screening listings, checking whether an asking price is reasonable, or getting a market snapshot before buying or listing a business.
Requirements
Runs locally as an npm package via npx or a global install; Node.js is needed. The public listings API needs no account or key. Optional environment variables: FLIPPA_BASE_URL to override the API base URL and FLIPPA_API_TOKEN for future authenticated endpoints.
Before you install
The analysis is computed from seller-reported listing data, so revenue and traffic claims may be unverified; verdicts are heuristics, not investment advice. FLIPPA_API_TOKEN is optional and not needed for the core tools. Requests go to the Flippa API, and FLIPPA_BASE_URL can redirect them elsewhere.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Flippa 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.

Why Flippa MCP

Flippa is the world's largest marketplace for buying and selling online businesses — websites, SaaS products, ecommerce stores, apps, newsletters, and more. Thousands of listings, each with revenue claims, traffic stats, and asking prices that may or may not make sense.

Evaluating a listing manually means checking revenue multiples, comparing prices across similar businesses, assessing risk factors, and doing math you'll probably get wrong at 2am. Multiply that by the dozens of listings you need to review to find a good deal.

Flippa MCP gives Claude full marketplace intelligence. Five specialized tools that search listings, pull detailed financials, compute valuation metrics, find comparable sales, and generate market overviews. Zero configuration. No API key. No Flippa account. Just install and ask Claude to find you a good deal.

Who This Is For

  • Entrepreneurs evaluating businesses to buy on Flippa
  • Investors doing due diligence on online business acquisitions
  • Sellers researching pricing and market conditions before listing
  • Anyone who wants AI-powered marketplace intelligence without the spreadsheet grind

Uses flippa_search_listings with property_type: "saas" and sort_alias: "most_profitable".

Analyze a specific listing

"Analyze Flippa listing 12299903 — is it fairly priced?"

Uses flippa_analyze_listing to compute revenue multiples, ROI, and risk factors, then delivers a verdict.

Compare with the market

"Find comparable listings for this SaaS business and tell me if the asking price is reasonable"

How Analysis Works

The flippa_analyze_listing tool fetches a listing and computes valuation metrics:

MetricFormula
Revenue MultipleAsking Price / Annual Revenue
Profit MultipleAsking Price / Annual Profit
ROI EstimateAsking Price / Monthly Profit (payback in months)
Price per VisitorAsking Price / Monthly Uniques

Verdict Logic

Revenue MultipleVerdict
< 2xUnderpriced — below typical range, investigate why
2x – 4xFair — within standard online business valuation range
> 4xOverpriced — above typical range, ensure premium is justified
No revenue dataInsufficient Data — cannot determine valuation

Risk Factors Detected

The tool automatically flags these concerns:

  • No reported revenue or profit
  • Traffic data unavailable or very low (< 1,000 uniques/mo)
  • Revenue not verified by Flippa
  • Traffic not verified by Flippa
  • Seller is not a Super Seller
  • No bids on the listing
  • No images provided
  • Very short listing description (< 100 chars)
  • Confidential listing with limited data

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
