What you can ask

Seven research tasks, 22 tools, one chat window

Every tool is built around a research task rather than a database table. The assistant gets a complete answer in one call and knows what to do next.

Search stores

Find Shopify stores by niche, country, traffic, revenue band, app stack or growth.

Why connect

Research that used to take an afternoon now takes one question

Ask in plain English

Describe the store, niche or product you are looking for. Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor calls EcomScout for you and returns a ranked answer.

1M+ Shopify stores, 100M+ products

Traffic, estimated revenue, installed apps, catalogs, price changes and new products. The same data as the EcomScout app, available inside your AI assistant.

22 tools built for assistants

Each tool combines several data sources, so the assistant gets a complete answer in one call instead of piecing it together.

Finished output, not raw data

Get competitor briefs, lead lists, supplier maps and trend reports as chat, documents or code. No exports and no copy-paste.

Daily competitor tracking

Watch a store, then ask what it sold this week or which ads it is running. Answers come from live Signals data.

No extra fee

Included with Starter and Pro. Calls use your plan quota. There is nothing new to buy and no API key to manage.

Read-only by default

20 of 22 tools only read data and are labelled read-only, so assistants do not need to ask before calling them. The two remaining tools start or stop watching a store.

Your plan, your quota

Calls count against the same daily limit as your app account and the Public API. There is nothing extra to buy. Usage shows up on your Integrations page.

Built for assistants, not copied from the API

Each tool merges several data sources (store profile, growth, bestsellers, apps, contacts), so one call returns a complete picture and suggests the next step.

Common questions

What is MCP and why does it matter?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and most AI agents use to call outside tools. EcomScout publishes its store, product and competitor data as an MCP server, so any of those assistants can look things up for you during a conversation.

Do I need an API key?

No. When you connect, you sign in with your EcomScout account. The connector is included with Starter and Pro and uses your plan’s daily quota. Free accounts can connect, but every tool returns an upgrade message instead of data.

Which assistants work?

Claude (web, desktop, Claude Code), ChatGPT (Developer mode / Apps), Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Codex and any client that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.

Is the data real-time?

Store traffic and revenue estimates refresh on a rolling snapshot schedule. Product catalogs and price changes are collected daily. Watched stores (Signals) are checked every day for units sold, inventory and ads. Every answer includes the snapshot date so you know how fresh it is.

What can the assistant change in my account?

Only two things: start watching a store and stop watching a store. Every other tool is read-only and labelled as such, so assistants can call them without asking you for confirmation.

How is this different from the Public API?

Same data, different audience. The API is for scripts and custom agents and uses an esc_ key. The MCP connector is for people chatting with an assistant: no key, no code, and tools that already combine several endpoints into one answer.
