LOOT INTELLIGENCE

QUICKSTART · MCP

One line. Your agent knows what things are worth.

Loot Intelligence ships as a native Model Context Protocol server — streamable HTTP, stateless, spec 2025-03-26. Add it to Claude Code (or any MCP client) and your agent gets three tools: product_lookup, brand_intelligence, price_band.

Add the server — Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http loot-intel https://api.lootlens.ai/mcp

Or any MCP client — mcpServers config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deedstash": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.lootlens.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

api.deedstash.com is the canonical hostname and will answer here the moment its DNS finishes provisioning; until then, every example on this page uses api.lootlens.ai — the same worker, the same data, live right now.

Try it — handshake (response is the actual server output, unedited)

curl -s https://api.lootlens.ai/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{
        "protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},
        "clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}'

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":{
  "protocolVersion":"2025-03-26",
  "capabilities":{"tools":{"listChanged":false}},
  "serverInfo":{"name":"deedstash-loot-intelligence","version":"1.0.0"},
  "instructions":"Loot Intelligence: the DeedStash/LootLens canonical
    product catalog (the Loot Index) built from real-world scans plus
    open-source ingestion. Use product_lookup to identify one product by
    UPC barcode or brand+model; price_band for its live resale band with
    source provenance; brand_intelligence for a whole brand's product
    genealogy, lines, MSRPs and parent-company stock context. All prices
    are integer USD cents. Data is facts-only and aggregate-only — no

Field glossary

THE HONESTY DOCTRINE

Most pricing APIs guess. Ours refuses to.

An agent that acts on a fabricated price is worse than an agent with no price at all. Loot Intelligence is engineered around that fact — it is the differentiator, not a disclaimer.
