Vinted MCP Server

An MCP server for Vinted search and analysis that provides tools to search listings, fetch item details, inspect seller profiles, compare prices across countries, and surface trending items.

It also exposes resources for supported countries and category data.

Client support

This server works with MCP clients that support local stdio servers.

Quick start

Option 1: npx

Add this to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@andrijdavid/vinted-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Option 1b: bunx (canary)

bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

This starts the server in stdio mode and waits for an MCP client.

Option 2: global install

npm install -g @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp

Then configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "vinted-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run in network mode (Streamable HTTP over TCP)

If you need a network endpoint instead of stdio, run:

VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001 bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Optional:

• VINTED_MCP_PATH (default /mcp)
• VINTED_MCP_ENABLE_LEGACY_SSE (default true)
• VINTED_MCP_LEGACY_SSE_PATH (default /sse)
• VINTED_MCP_LEGACY_MESSAGES_PATH (default /messages)

Default endpoints:

• Streamable HTTP (recommended): http://127.0.0.1:3001/mcp
• Legacy SSE (older clients): http://127.0.0.1:3001/sse

CLI usage and env variables

Pass env vars inline (macOS/Linux)

VINTED_AUTH_MODE=env \
VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES='session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value' \
VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN='your_csrf_token' \
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Pass env vars inline (PowerShell)

$env:VINTED_AUTH_MODE = "env"
$env:VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES = "session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value"
$env:VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN = "your_csrf_token"
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Pass env vars inline (Windows Command Prompt)

set VINTED_AUTH_MODE=env
set VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES=session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value
set VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN=your_csrf_token
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Use a local .env file

The server auto-loads .env from the current working directory.

cp .env.example .env
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Run network mode from CLI with env

VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001 \
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Windows Command Prompt:

set VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http
set VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
set VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Authentication and environment

The server auto-loads .env from the working directory if present.

Start from the example file:

cp .env.example .env

Main variables:

• VINTED_AUTH_MODE: http, playwright, or env
• VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES: cookie header string or JSON object string
• VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN: CSRF token
• VINTED_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN: optional bearer token
• VINTED_AUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN: optional refresh token, used to mint a new access token
• VINTED_PROFILE_DIR: optional root for browser profiles created by login, default ~/.vinted-mcp
• VINTED_PROXY_URL: optional proxy URL
• VINTED_MAX_CONCURRENCY: optional tuning
• VINTED_REQUEST_DELAY_MS: optional tuning
• VINTED_MAX_RETRIES: optional tuning

Example client config with env auth:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@andrijdavid/vinted-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VINTED_AUTH_MODE": "env",
        "VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES": "session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value",
        "VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN": "your_csrf_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Signing in

Search and price tools work anonymously. Anything tied to your account (like_item), plus a seller's own listings in get_seller, needs a logged-in session. Run this once per country:

npx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp login --country fr

A browser window opens on Vinted. Sign in the way you normally do (password, captcha, 2FA, Google login all work). The window closes by itself once you are signed in, and the browser profile is saved to ~/.vinted-mcp/profile-<country>. The server reopens that profile headlessly when it needs cookies, so the session refreshes itself and there is nothing to copy or paste.

Requirements: Playwright with Chromium (npm i playwright && npx playwright install chromium). Set VINTED_PROFILE_DIR to move the profile root somewhere other than ~/.vinted-mcp.

Manual cookies (headless servers and CI)

Where no browser can be opened, use VINTED_AUTH_MODE=env and supply the credentials yourself:

1. Sign in to Vinted in your browser.
2. Open Developer Tools.
3. Open Network and refresh.
4. Open any https://www.vinted.<country>/api/... request.
5. Copy from Request Headers:
   • cookie -> VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES
   • x-csrf-token -> VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN
6. Optional: copy authorization: Bearer ... token into VINTED_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN, and the refresh_token_web cookie value into VINTED_AUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Security notes:

• treat these values as secrets
• never commit .env
• rotate tokens/cookies if exposed
• the saved browser profile holds a live session; it is stored with owner-only permissions

Tools

search_items

Search listings with filters like country, price range, brand IDs, category, condition, sort, and limit.

get_item

Get item details by itemId or url. Vinted retired the item API, so this reads the public item page instead: it is slower than search, and view counts and listing dates are no longer available.

get_seller

Get seller profile data, recent reviews and optional recent items by sellerId or url. The rating is on a 0-5 scale. Recent items come from the seller's wardrobe, which Vinted returns empty to anonymous callers, so that part needs a logged-in session.

compare_prices

Compare average and median prices for a query across countries.

get_trending

Return recently listed items ranked by favourites, then views. The catalogue API no longer returns listing timestamps or view counts, so the ranking is coarser than it used to be.

like_item

Add an item to your favourites by itemId or url, or remove it with unlike: true. Needs a logged-in session, see Signing in. Already-liked items are left alone rather than toggled off.

Resources
