Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that gives an assistant cited Hermès and Chanel retail prices, resale asking-price medians, price-increase history and pre-spend benchmarks.

What you can do
Look up a bag's cited US retail list price, estimated resale price and resale-over-retail premium by model and size, with an explicit not-an-appraisal label. Retrieve the live cross-site median of current asking prices for a spec, with listing count and retrieval date. Pull the weekly median-ask series for a spec over a timeframe, at public depth only. Read the dated, sourced retail price-increase ledger for Hermès or Chanel. Get the community-reported pre-spend benchmark for a city. Read what the publication is, what may be cited and how to attribute it.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant answers questions about Hermès or Chanel bag prices, resale asking levels, past retail increases or reported boutique pre-spend, and the answer needs sourced figures with honesty labels rather than guesses.
Requirements
A remote Streamable-HTTP endpoint; no install, account or API key for the free tier. Clients that only speak stdio can use the included Node 18+ bridge script, which reads the OP_MCP_ENDPOINT and OP_PARTNER_KEY environment variables. Free tier is rate-limited to 60 requests per 10 minutes per IP.
Before you install
Figures are documented, estimated or community-reported, not appraisals, guarantees, odds or financial advice; market data is asking prices, not sold prices. The server is independent and not affiliated with Hermès. Free tier is rate-limited per IP; a partner key raises limits and unlocks history depth. Responses carry attribution requirements, and wholesale scraping or republishing of datasets is disallowed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/to.orangepeel%2Forangepeel/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

Orange Peel MCP Server

orangepeel.to is an independent intelligence publication about the Hermès quota-bag game — cited retail and resale prices, live cross-site resale-market medians, a dated retail price-increase ledger, and community-reported pre-spend benchmarks.

This repo lets AI agents and MCP clients query that data directly over the Model Context Protocol, hosted live at:

https://orangepeel.to/api/mcp

No install required for most clients — it's a remote Streamable-HTTP MCP server. Point your client at the URL above and you're done. A tiny zero-dependency stdio bridge is included in this repo (bridge.js) for the few clients that only speak stdio.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hermès. Orange Peel is an independent publication — see orangepeel.to for the full site (price index, resale market, calculators, price-increase history, encyclopedia, and more).


Quickstart

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (claude_desktop_config.json or .mcp.json)

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "orangepeel": {      "url": "https://orangepeel.to/api/mcp"    }  }}

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "orangepeel": {      "url": "https://orangepeel.to/api/mcp"    }  }}

Any generic Streamable-HTTP MCP client

Point the client at https://orangepeel.to/api/mcp and run the standard handshake: initialize → notifications/initialized → tools/list / tools/call. No API key needed for the free tier (see Rate limits below).

stdio-only clients (the bridge)

If your client can only launch a local command over stdio (no direct URL support), use the included bridge — Node 18+, zero dependencies:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "orangepeel": {      "command": "node",      "args": ["/path/to/bridge.js"]    }  }}

See bridge.js for the ~50-line source and its OP_MCP_ENDPOINT / OP_PARTNER_KEY env vars.

Registry manifest

server.json is the MCP Registry publish manifest for this server (to.orangepeel/orangepeel, domain-verified).


The 6 tools

Every response — structuredContent and the human-readable text — carries an attribution field ({source, url, retrieved, license}) and preserves Orange Peel's honesty labels: asks, not sold for market data, estimated for resale prices, community-reported for benchmarks, and the sample count (n=) wherever a figure is thin. Call about_orange_peel first — it tells an agent exactly how to cite the rest.

All examples below are real, live output from https://orangepeel.to/api/mcp, captured via curl.

get_benchmark(city)

The community-reported pre-spend benchmark for a city — a position, never a probability or guarantee.

Rate limits + partner tier

The free tier is open, unauthenticated, and rate-limited to 60 requests / 10 minutes per IP — the same public, current-state data a human sees on the site. No accounts, no user data, ever.

A partner tier lifts the ceiling to 600 requests / 10 minutes and, on the roadmap, unlocks history depth (the archived-ask and cited sold/auction layers) via an OP-Partner-Key header. Interested? Contact [email protected].

This repository's code and documentation (the bridge script, server.json, this README) are MIT-licensed — see LICENSE. That covers the repo only.

The underlying data returned by the live MCP server is not MIT-licensed. Orange Peel's price, market, and benchmark data stays under Orange Peel's own terms: free to use and cite, but every figure must carry attribution back to Orange Peel (name + link to the page it lives on) and keep its honesty label (asks-not-sold / estimated / community-reported / sample count). Do not scrape or republish the dataset wholesale, and never attribute Orange Peel's figures to Hermès.

Not affiliated with Hermès

Orange Peel is an independent publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hermès. All figures are documented, estimated, or community-reported and labelled as such — never presented as an appraisal, a guarantee, odds, or financial advice.
