Drop Beacon

direct-web/drop-beacon-mcp

Connects Claude to the Drop Beacon database of 100,000+ EDC products across knives, fidgets, flashlights, pens, and other everyday carry gear. Exposes six tools: search by keyword or material, fetch latest drops from the past week, pull brand stats and top products, compare prices across retailers, analyze market trends like sell-through velocity, and check real-time stock availability. Useful when you need to track new releases in the EDC space, help users find specific gear like titanium multitools or limited edition knives, or answer questions about pricing and availability across multiple stores. Requires a DATABASE_URL pointing to a Neon Postgres instance with the Drop Beacon dataset.

Readme

Drop Beacon MCP

Read-only EDC product discovery through Drop Beacon's public HTTPS catalog API. No database password, DATABASE_URL, or API key is required.

Remote server (no install)

Drop Beacon also runs a hosted, read-only MCP server at https://edc4me.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key). Add it as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT, or point any MCP client at the URL. Its tools: search_products, find_offers (live in-stock prices across retailers with buy links), deal_check (today's price against the range Drop Beacon has observed), top_deals (the biggest live markdowns, with a was-price check), upcoming (new drops and free giveaways) and get_brand_info.

Install (local stdio package)

Requires Node.js 20 or newer. Configure your MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "drop-beacon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "drop-beacon-mcp@0.3.0"]
    }
  }
}
