Add second-hand search to Claude

Claude stays the chat. This page is the custom-connector path: Claude Desktop, or any Claude product that can add an MCP server. You paste a config named nexthand, start a new chat, and ask for used listings that can ship to you. If tools do not appear, restart Claude after saving — that is the usual miss, not a second app to install.

What you get

Claude searches second-hand marketplaces, including ship-to-you filtering
Follow-ups in the same Claude chat
Market watch: the same search, later
When you want an item, you open it on the marketplace it came from

What you need

Claude with MCP (desktop or a Claude product that can add a custom connector).

MCP is the plug Claude uses to add a server. You only touch it in the steps below.

Add Nexthand

Open Claude’s MCP / connector settings.
Add a server named nexthand.

Use your Nexthand MCP URL (replace the placeholder):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexthand": {
      "url": "YOUR_NEXTHAND_MCP_URL"
    }
  }
}

Save and start a new chat so Claude can see the server.

Verify

Ask Claude to search for something that can ship to you, for example: “Find me a used Canon EOS R6 under €1,200 that ships to Barcelona.”

Example prompts

Find me a used Canon EOS R6 under €1,200 that ships to Barcelona.
Only show results in excellent condition. Is this a good price?
Watch for a used Canon EOS R6 under €1,200 that ships to me.

Troubleshooting

If tools do not appear, restart Claude after saving the server.
Confirm the MCP URL is reachable from the app you are using.
If your Claude product uses Connectors instead of a config file, add Nexthand there with the same URL.
