eBid MCP — listings, ended-listing search, bid history and categories from the eBid.net online marketplace and auction site, via the official eBid Trading API v2. eBid runs 20+ country sites (us, uk, ca, au, de, fr, …); it is a small marketplace next to eBay, so treat it as a secondary listings/price source.

Tools

• ebid_search(keyword?, site?, category_id?, min_price?, max_price?, condition?, buy_now_only?, closed?, username?, country?, search_descriptions?, sort?, start?, rows?) — search live listings, or ended ones with closed: true (where realized sale prices live). Max 75 rows/page (API cap).
• ebid_listing(listing_id, site?, ship_to?) — one listing in full, with shipping calculated to ship_to.
• ebid_listing_bids(listing_id, site?) — bid history; on an ended auction the highest bid is the realized price.
• ebid_categories(category_id?, site?) — category tree with per-category item counts.

Auth

• BYO only: every eBid API command — including the documented no-login read commands — is rejected upstream without an AppId/AppKey pair (error 003). Register free at the eBid developer portal https://ebid.3scale.net/, then pass both as one argument: _apiKey: "AppId:AppKey".
• Registering is not the same as being able to call. eBid issues an application’s AppId and AppKey at signup but activates the application separately, so a freshly minted pair authenticates and still answers nothing: error 116 application is not active on every command. Pipeworx holds such a pair (fleet #1284, minted 2026-09-07) and the pack therefore stays BYO-only — PLATFORM_EBID_KEY is deliberately NOT declared until a live call succeeds, because a declared key that cannot answer makes the router keep choosing a pack that is guaranteed to fail.

Telling the four credential failures apart

eBid reports all of them at HTTP 200, and three share code 116. Probed live 2026-09-07 against api.ebid.net/trading:

The pack maps each to its own message. Only the first one tells the caller to pass a key — the other three mean they already did, and the fix is elsewhere.

Data sources

• https://api.ebid.net/trading — eBid Trading API v2; single endpoint, JSON POST with the command in the body. Docs: https://ebid.3scale.net/doc-json.
• Failures come back as HTTP 200 with an Error array; the pack surfaces the upstream code and description rather than the status line.
