HasData Walmart

Walmart MCP Server

A hosted Walmart MCP server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client three read-only Walmart tools. Run a keyword or category search, read one item with the seller holding the buy box, and page through its customer reviews, all as structured JSON, with no Walmart developer account and nothing to host.

It reads public Walmart pages that a signed-out visitor can see, on walmart.com and walmart.ca.

1,000 free credits every month, no card required, which is 100 Walmart calls at the 10-credit rate.

What you need

An MCP client and a HasData API key from the dashboard, free to create with no card, and the free tier covers about 100 calls a month at the 10-credit rate. This is a remote server, so the simplest path is a URL and an x-api-key header, with no container to run. A client that only speaks stdio reaches it through a thin launcher, published as @hasdata/walmart-mcp on npm and hasdata-walmart-mcp on PyPI, shown below.

Quick start

The server URL is the same for every client. We run it hands-on in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The other blocks follow each client's own documented format for a remote server.

Clients with OAuth support can add the same URL as a connector and sign in without putting a key in a config file.

claude mcp add --transport http walmart "https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=walmart" \  --header "x-api-key: HASDATA_API_KEY"

{  "mcpServers": {    "walmart": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@hasdata/walmart-mcp"],      "env": { "HASDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "walmart": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["hasdata-walmart-mcp"],      "env": { "HASDATA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "walmart": {      "url": "https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=walmart",      "headers": { "x-api-key": "HASDATA_API_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "walmart": {      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=walmart",      "headers": { "x-api-key": "HASDATA_API_KEY" }    }  }}

{  "servers": {    "walmart": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.hasdata.com/mcp?apis=walmart",      "headers": { "x-api-key": "HASDATA_API_KEY" }    }  }}

Example prompts

Each of these lands on one tool, or on two in sequence when the second needs the item id the first returns.

• Find laptop stands under $30 on Walmart and sort them by price.
• What does item 18493462688 cost right now, and who holds the buy box?
• Show me every other seller offering this item and what they charge with shipping.
• Read the reviews of this item that mention battery life.
• Pull only the verified-purchase reviews of this item and summarise the complaints.
• Compare the price of this item on walmart.com and walmart.ca.

A prompt that names a product rather than an item id takes two calls, one search to resolve the id and one product lookup to read it. Reviews work the same way, and the search result carries the id both need.

Tools

Three tools, 10 credits per successful call. Each takes domain, either walmart.com or walmart.ca, and language, where walmart.com serves en and es while walmart.ca serves en and fr. A language the storefront does not offer falls back to its default.

Item ids are storefront-scoped. On walmart.com they are numeric, such as 18493462688, and on walmart.ca alphanumeric, such as 6NZMJ5CW6MH2. An id from one storefront does not resolve on the other.

Get Walmart search results

hasdata_walmart_search_getSearchResults

A page of search results for a keyword, a category, or both.

Send q to search, catId to browse a whole category, or both to search inside one. Neither appears in the schema's required array because either one satisfies the call on its own.

Returns searchInformation, a productResults array, a facets block and pagination. Each result carries position, id, title, url, brand, isSponsored, badges, walmartPlusSavings, categoryPathId, a price object, reviews with rating and totalReviews, image, seller, availability and fulfillment.

The facets block is the map of every filter the query supports, and each value carries the exact string to send back in facet. Running one unfiltered search to read the facets is cheaper than guessing.

{  "position": 1,  "id": "18493462688",  "title": "Incipio Portable Foldable Aluminum Laptop Stand and Riser with Adjustable Angles, Anti-Slip and Ventilated Design",  "url": "https://www.walmart.com/ip/Portable-Laptop-Stand-Black/18493462688",  "isSponsored": true,  "badges": ["Overall pick"],  "walmartPlusSavings": true,  "categoryPathId": "4125_4134_1074326_9623037_7875081",  "price": { "currentPrice": 9.96, "currentPriceDisplay": "$9.96" },  "reviews": { "rating": 4.5, "totalReviews": 49 }}

Get Walmart product details

hasdata_walmart_product_getWalmartProduct

One item in full.

Pass itemId or url. As with search, neither is listed as required because either one works alone.

Returns a product object with itemId, title, url, brand, brandUrl, type, model, upc, condition, badges, availability, a price object, the seller holding the buy box, reviews, images, categoryPath, categoryPathId, highlights, specifications, keyItemFeatures, productDetails and fulfillment.

The base call already reports how many competitors the page advertises and the cheapest competing price. Turn on otherOffers only when you need the offers themselves, because it takes a second request to Walmart and costs half again as much.

{  "itemId": "18493462688",  "brand": "Incipio",  "condition": "New",  "price": { "currentPrice": 9.96, "currentPriceDisplay": "$9.96", "currency": "USD" },  "seller": {    "name": "Walmart.com",    "id": "F55CDC31AB754BB68FE0B39041159D63",    "returnPolicy": "Free 30-day returns"  },  "reviews": {    "totalReviews": 49,    "rating": 4.5,    "fiveStars": 38,    "fourStars": 4,    "threeStars": 3,    "twoStars": 1,    "oneStar": 3  },  "specifications": [{ "name": "Maximum screen size", "value": "16 in" }],  "fulfillment": {    "type": "FC",    "message": "Pickup, today at Fredericksburg Massaponax Supercenter",    "deliveryDate": "2026-09-09T21:59:00.000Z"  }}

Get Walmart product reviews

hasdata_walmart_reviews_getWalmartReviews

The review feed of one item, ten reviews a page.

Returns reviewsInformation, a reviewResults array, a filters block, appliedFilters and pagination.

filters is the part worth reading first. It lists the star ratings, frequent mentions and conditions this item can actually be filtered by, each with a count and with the exact value to send back. Given {"name": "Battery Life", "value": "6049", "count": 8} you send aspectId: "6049" and expect eight reviews. Guessing an aspect id instead of reading it here is the usual way to get an empty page.

reviewsInformation carries the item rating, the per-star breakdown, per-aspect scores and Walmart's AI review summary. It also separates totalRatings from totalReviews, which matter separately: the item below has 49 ratings but only 21 written reviews, and paging covers the 21.

{  "reviewsInformation": {    "rating": 4.49,    "totalRatings": 49,    "totalReviews": 21,    "recommendedPercentage": 100,    "ratingBreakdown": { "fiveStars": 38, "fourStars": 4, "threeStars": 3, "twoStars": 1, "oneStar": 3 }  },  "reviewResults": [    {      "position": 1,      "id": "434698083",      "rating": 5,      "title": "Good value laptop stand.",      "text": "Good value for money. Not the sturdiest, but that is to be expected for a collapsible laptop stand. Overall gets the job done, I'd buy it again.",      "date": "8/1/2026",      "verifiedPurchase": true,      "helpfulVotes": 0,      "notHelpfulVotes": 0,      "badges": ["Verified Purchase"],      "seller": "Walmart.com",      "language": "English",      "aspects": [{ "id": "284", "polarity": "Positive" }]    }  ],  "filters": [    { "name": "Star rating", "parameter": "rating", "values": [{ "name": "5 stars", "value": "5", "count": 38 }] },    { "name": "Frequent mentions", "parameter": "aspectId", "values": [{ "name": "Sturdiness", "value": "828", "count": 6 }] }  ],  "pagination": { "currentPage": 1, "reviewsPerPage": 10, "totalPages": 3, "totalResults": 21, "nextPage": 2 }}

Prompts and resources

The server exposes 5 resources, one per parameter whose accepted values are a fixed list. Reading one is cheaper than learning the vocabulary from a rejected call, and it costs no credits. Each URI is hasdata://walmart/<parameter>.

The list is served without an API key, so a client can read it before a user has signed up.

Errors and failure paths

Plan for these rather than assuming a happy path.

Two totals disagree in one search response, and both are correct. searchInformation.totalResultsDisplay is the string Walmart prints on the page, such as "1000+", while pagination.totalResults is the number behind it, such as 8005. One is display text and the other is an integer, so do not parse the first or print the second.

Walmart stops serving results after roughly page 10. Beyond that the page comes back empty rather than erroring. A large keyword cannot be enumerated by paging, so narrow it with facet, a price band or a category instead.

Prices belong to one store, and the response says which. searchInformation.storeId names it, and fulfillment.message names it in words, down to "Pickup, today at Fredericksburg Massaponax Supercenter". Comparing prices across calls only means something while that store stays the same.

deliveryType: pickup is answered against a single store. An item in stock nationally can still come back unavailable, because it is unavailable at that one store rather than everywhere.

The product tool reports ratings where you might read reviews. Its reviews.totalReviews is the count of ratings, 49 for the item above, while the reviews tool reports 49 ratings and 21 written reviews separately. Use the reviews tool when the distinction matters.

Review dates are M/D/YYYY strings. "8/1/2026" is the first of August, not the eighth of January. Parse with the format in hand rather than letting a date library guess.

A review can carry an aspect id absent from filters. The block lists the topics the item can be filtered by, which is a shorter list than the topics its reviews were tagged with. Read aspects off the review, and filter only with ids the block offers.

variants is missing rather than empty on an item with no variants. Check for the key before you read it.

Only one condition per request. The parameter takes a single value, so a query across two conditions is two calls.

Results that carry data also carry a requestMetadata.id worth quoting in support.

Pricing, free tier and limits

Each Walmart tool costs 10 credits per successful call. Turning on otherOffers adds 5 credits to the product call, 15 instead of 10, so leave it off unless the competing offers are the point. Response size does not change the price.

The free tier is 1,000 credits every month with no card, which is 100 Walmart calls at the base rate. It renews with the billing cycle, so a low-volume agent runs on the free tier indefinitely.

Paid plans start at $59 a month for 200,000 credits, which is 20,000 calls. The unit price falls with volume, from $2.95 per 1,000 calls on the entry plan to $1.19 on Basic and $0.83 across the Growth tiers. Current figures live on the pricing page.

Your plan also sets concurrency. The free tier allows 5 requests at a time, Startup 5, Basic 15, and the Growth tiers run from 50 to 500. Retry on the 429 with a backoff in anything unattended, because an agent that fans out across item ids will reach the ceiling before you do.

A request that comes back non-200 is not billed. A successful call that finds nothing is still a call.

Tool selection

Start from what the prompt gives you. A keyword or a category goes to the search tool, an item id goes straight to the product or reviews tool. Spending a search call to reach an id you already have is the most common waste.

Then pick by what the question is about. The search result is enough for ranking, price sweeps and share-of-shelf work across many items. The product tool is the only one carrying specifications, the buy-box seller and the competing-offer count. The reviews tool is the only one carrying review text.

Read the filters block before you filter. One unfiltered reviews call tells you which ratings, topics and conditions exist and how many reviews each holds, which turns a guessed filter into a known one.

How it compares

Walmart's own Affiliate and Marketplace APIs are the official routes to this data, and they answer different questions.

The row that decides it is scope. Both official APIs answer questions about a catalogue you have a commercial relationship with, which rules them out for watching a competitor. When the items are yours, the Marketplace API is authoritative and free, and you should use it.

FAQ

Is there an official Walmart MCP server?

Walmart does not publish one. This one is maintained by HasData and reads public Walmart pages.

What is a Walmart MCP server?

An MCP server exposes tools an AI client can call. This one turns Walmart search results, item pages and review feeds into JSON an agent can reason over, without a browser or a scraping library in your stack.

Do I need a Walmart account or a seller account?

No. The only credential is your HasData key.

Which storefronts are covered?

walmart.com and walmart.ca. They hold separate catalogues, item ids, prices and currencies, so a cross-storefront comparison is a real comparison rather than a currency conversion.

Why did my item id return nothing?

Most often because it belongs to the other storefront. A numeric id is walmart.com and an alphanumeric one is walmart.ca, and neither resolves on the other. Pass domain to match, or pass the full url and let it set the storefront.

How do I get the competing offers?

Set otherOffers on the product call. Each offer comes back with the seller name, storefront URL, price, condition, shipping cost, delivery date and return policy. It costs 5 credits more, because it takes a second request to Walmart.

Why does the same search return different prices on different days?

Partly because prices move, and partly because the response is answered against one Walmart store, reported as searchInformation.storeId. Hold that store constant before reading a price change as a price change.

Can I use this together with other HasData APIs?

Yes. One key covers everything, and one endpoint serves them all through the apis parameter. Point a client at ?apis=walmart,amazon to get both tool sets in one connection, or at mcp.hasdata.com/mcp for the full catalogue.

Is HasData affiliated with Walmart?

No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Walmart. Walmart is a trademark of its respective owner. The tools work with publicly available data only, and you are responsible for using the results in line with Walmart's terms and the law that applies to you.

Compliance and personal data

Reviews carry an author name as the reviewer chose to publish it, along with a verified-purchase flag. Marketplace seller entries carry a business name and a storefront URL. Neither block needs the author fields for sentiment or pricing work, so drop them unless your purpose needs them, and check your own obligations before storing them.

Development

The launcher is a thin stdio bridge to the remote server, so there is nothing to build.

npm installHASDATA_API_KEY=your_key_here npm test

The tests in test/ assert the tool contract, the part that can break without a commit here. They check that ?apis=walmart returns the expected tool count, that no name changed, that every tool still carries a description, that the either/or parameters this README documents are still in the schema, and that the key in use is actually accepted. That last check calls a tool for real and costs 10 credits, which is the price of a canary that can fail for the right reason.

None of the three tools declares a required parameter, because each accepts one of two inputs. The suite pins the alternatives instead of the required array, which would pass while the schema said nothing.

The contract suite also runs weekly on a schedule, because the upstream tool list can change without anyone touching this repository.

Contributing

A tool table, a response sample or a documented behaviour that does not match reality is worth an issue. There is a template for exactly that. Pull requests are welcome for the same, and for anything in the launcher.
