Marketplace research in your AI assistant

Before you connect

Both free and paid DataPinter accounts can use the MCP connector. It follows your existing DataPinter plan entitlements: you can use the marketplace features included in your plan, within your account quota. Connecting does not unlock additional paid features.

Create a DataPinter account or sign in with your existing account. You also need an assistant account that supports remote MCP connectors. Availability depends on your assistant and workspace settings; a workspace owner may need to enable the connector.

No DataPinter API key or separate API plan is required. MCP uses your DataPinter account features and quota, rather than API credits.

Connect DataPinter to Claude

Use this server URL when adding a custom connector:

1. Open Claude → Customize → Connectors and choose the option to add a custom connector.
2. Enter DataPinter as the name and paste the MCP server URL shown above.
3. Add the connector and connect your account. If prompted for authentication, choose OAuth sign-in with automatic client registration.
4. Sign in to DataPinter, review the requested access, and select Allow. Your DataPinter password is not shared with the assistant.
5. Return to Claude. In a conversation, open + → Connectors, enable DataPinter, and ask a research question.

In a Team or Enterprise workspace, an owner must add the connector before members connect their individual DataPinter accounts. Menu labels can vary. See Claude’s official connector guide for current instructions.

What you can research

• Products and categories: search and browse Shopee, TikTok Shop, Lazada, Tokopedia, Amazon, Alibaba, Blibli, and Temu.
• Sellers: find stores and explore their catalogs where supported.
• Product metrics: retrieve available details, prices, reported sales, revenue, and statistics.
• Affiliates: research available Shopee and TikTok Shop creator profiles and performance, plus Shopee commission information.
• Keywords and comparisons: explore Shopee keywords and compare products across Shopee, TikTok Shop, and Lazada with DataPinter Radar.

Available features depend on your plan, marketplace, and region. Results may be cached or incomplete, and metrics can differ between sources. Use them for research and confirm important details with the marketplace. The connector does not place orders, contact sellers or creators, or modify marketplace listings.

Example questions

• “Use DataPinter to find wireless earbuds on Shopee Indonesia and compare their prices and reported sales.”
• “Find portable blender sellers on Lazada Indonesia and compare their available catalogs.”
• “Research Shopee keywords related to sunscreen in Indonesia.”
• “Find TikTok Shop affiliates related to skincare and summarize their available performance metrics.”

Account quota and MCP limits

Tool calls record research history and consume your existing DataPinter account quota. The MCP limits below apply in addition to your plan entitlements and quota, across your connector sessions.

• Up to 10 admitted tool calls per minute.
• 100 MCP units per day, resetting at midnight Asia/Jakarta (UTC+7).
• Up to two simultaneous tool calls.
• Up to 20 results per collection in a tool response.
• Affiliate detail and commission batches accept one to five unique IDs. Each ID consumes one daily MCP unit; other calls consume one unit.

Admitted calls consume MCP units even if the provider request later fails or is cancelled. Retrying can consume additional units. Connecting and discovering tools do not consume research units. Exhausting your normal account quota also stops MCP research calls, even if daily MCP units remain.

Troubleshooting

Manage or disconnect access

In DataPinter, open MCP → Connected sessions, find the assistant session, and select Disconnect. This revokes that session’s access. You can reconnect later. Disconnect other sessions separately if you authorized more than one.
