Cached US grocery prices, age disclosed on every row - search, compare across banners, coverage.
Installation
Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).
claude mcp add --transport http splitbasket-prices 'https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer sk_live_... - free API keys from team@splitbasket.shop (closed beta, human-issued)>'

Sommaire
SplitBasket Grocery Prices — MCP server & data API
Cached US grocery prices for developers and agents, from the price panel behind
SplitBasket. Every price carries its observation
date; the API tells you what it can answer at a location before you ask, and
returns found: false rather than a plausible wrong number.
- API docs & quickstart: https://splitbasket.shop/developers
- Terms: https://splitbasket.shop/api-terms
- Get a key (free, closed beta): email team@splitbasket.shop — one line about what you're building; keys are issued by a human, usually within a day.
Connect over MCP
Endpoint: https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP, bearer auth)
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http splitbasket \
https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."
Any MCP client that speaks Streamable HTTP works the same way — point it at the
endpoint with the Authorization header.
Or plain HTTP
curl "https://api.splitbasket.shop/v1/compare_price?q=whole+milk&zip=94110" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."
Tools
| tool | what it does |
|---|---|
search_products | Find products near a location, with the price each nearby store last showed |
get_price | The cached price of one exact product (banner + product_id) at one place |
compare_price | Best match at each banner for one query, ranked on canonical unit price |
coverage | What the API can actually answer at a location — call this first in an unfamiliar area |
live_check | Fetch from the retailer right now (paid tier); returns a job id + measured ETA |
live_check_status | Poll a live_check job |
Coverage, honestly
Two layers (measured weekly — 2026-08-09; coverage is the runtime source of truth):
- National layer — six banners: Walmart, Costco, Whole Foods, Sprouts, Sam's Club, Aldi. 51 states (incl. DC) with at least one priced, 2+ banner comparison in 50, 3+ in 46 (measured 2026-08-11). These stores are priced weekly against a ~43-item staples basket.
- Deep metros — San Francisco, Fresno, Phoenix, Austin: 7–17 banners with full shopping catalogs.
Prices are cached observations, not live quotes. Exact-match rate by cache age,
measured over 275k observation pairs: 99.6% under a day, 93.8% at a week, 79.9%
at 30 days. Every row carries price_as_of and price_age_days; pass
max_age_days to enforce what your use case tolerates.
What this deliberately is not
- No basket optimizer. To estimate a basket, call
compare_priceper item and sum it yourself. - No state-level answers where prices measurably don't hold state-wide. Chain-wide for target, smartandfinal, bashas, frys, foodsco — and per-state where a chain is bimodal: Costco in ten measured states, Whole Foods in CA and NV. Measured, not assumed; the demote list tracks the weekly panel.
- No blended accuracy score. Price staleness is bimodal: a stale price is either exactly right or meaningfully wrong, so we disclose age instead of averaging it away.
