This page covers the tool overview + common inputs + field dependency cheatsheet. For complete parameter semantics (including zod validation rules), see Scrape API Docs — MCP tools call the same REST APIs underneath.

🚀 The First Call AI Should Make

When first connecting to MCP, strongly recommend the AI call the introspection tool:

pangolinfo_capabilities()

It returns the current schema + brief description of all 19 tools — fresher than docs. Once the AI has the list, it auto-selects tools based on context.

19-Tool Quick Reference

Points are deducted per successful call, identical to the corresponding REST API. Batch tools deduct linearly by item count. For complete pricing, see the point consumption section in each API doc. 19 tools total. Each tool card has four blocks — Use Case / Points / Parameters / Return Data; return data lists key fields only — for the full schema see the corresponding Scrape API Docs.

Amazon Core Data API (7 tools)

Amazon Categories & Niche Analytics (6 tools)

Common Inputs and Field Dependencies

InputUsed for
ASINProduct details, reviews, product audits
Marketplace / domainAmazon country or marketplace selection
KeywordAmazon search, trend analysis, category discovery
Seller IDSeller storefront and catalog analysis
Category node IDCategory tree, category filtering, niche analysis
Product or brand nameSearch, competitor lookup, market exploration
Patent / design sourceIP screening and design patent workflows

Some tools need inputs from other tools — you can’t make them up. Once dependencies are clear, the AI chains them automatically:

GoalRequired FieldUsually Comes From

Read seller listingsSeller IDSeller information in product details
Analyze category filtering or category pathsNode IDCategory tree or category search
Find niche opportunitiesKeyword or Node IDUser-provided keyword, or category search first
Screen patent riskPatent number, design source, or keywordUser input, or product title, brand name, and design description

Input Tips

  • If you only have a product URL, ask the AI to identify the ASIN, marketplace, and parser from the URL.
  • If you start from a Chinese product idea, provide an English keyword as well to reduce marketplace search errors.
  • For market research, do not provide only one ASIN. Include the target keyword, marketplace, and comparison dimensions.
  • For IP pre-checks, specify country/region, product design keywords, brand name, or existing patent clues.
