What this server can do
9 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
fetch-page(url, format, headers)- Fetch a web page and return its content as text, Markdown, or HTML. Includes rate limiting (2s per domain, max 10 req/min) for legal compliance. Automatically handles HTML-to-text conversion. Max response size: 1MB. Use for OEM verification and manufacturer website scraping. Required: url.
get-price-history(limit, partNumber)- Get purchase price history for a part number. Returns individual transactions with dates, prices, conditions, quantities, and vendor IDs, plus summary statistics (average, min, max, median, trend direction). Trend analysis compares recent vs older purchases (rising/falling/stable). Essential for fair market value assessment and negotiation. Required: partNumber.
get-substitutes(partNumber, manufacturer)- Find substitute, equivalent, or cross-referenced part numbers. Queries PartsIQ database (34K+ cross-references from IQreseller) with static fallback. Covers HPE option/spare mappings, generation cross-refs, and Dell SKU/DP/N equivalents. Required: partNumber.
get-vendor-trust(vendorName)- Look up vendor/seller trust information from IQreseller purchase history. Returns trust tier (preferred/neutral/avoid), transaction count, total spend, and satisfaction score. Use '*' as vendor name to get summary statistics. Essential for evaluating eBay sellers before purchasing. Required: vendorName.
normalize-pn(partNumber, manufacturer)- Normalize an IT hardware part number into its canonical form. Handles HPE (B21/001/spare), Dell (400-XXXX, DP/N), and IBM/Lenovo (FRU/CCIN) formats. Critical for deduplication and accurate lookups in the TPM market. Required: partNumber.
score-listing(weights, listings, warehouseZip)- Score and rank eBay listings using PartsTable's 5-factor composite scoring engine. Factors: Price (30%), Vendor Trust (25%), Distance (20%), Condition (15%), Quantity (10%). Vendor trust scores are looked up from IQreseller purchase history (435 vendors). Distance is calculated from warehouse ZIP to seller location using haversine formula. Condition signals are extracted from listing text (warranty, tested, ships today). Returns items sorted by composite score (0-100) with full factor breakdown. Required: listings.
search-parts(limit, condition, partNumber, manufacturer)- Search for IT hardware parts on eBay using the Browse API. Automatically normalizes the part number before searching. Requires EBAY_CLIENT_ID and EBAY_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables. Returns prices, conditions, sellers, and item URLs. Required: partNumber.
validate-pn(partNumber, manufacturer)- Validate a part number against known manufacturer format rules. Returns structural validity, matched format rule, and warnings. IMPORTANT: Format validation only - does not confirm the part exists. Required: partNumber.
verify-pn-oem(partNumber, manufacturer)- Verify a part number against OEM manufacturer websites for maximum confidence (1.0). Checks HPE PartSurfer, Dell Support, and Lenovo Parts Lookup. Returns verification status, OEM data, and confidence boost (+0.2 from DB level). Critical for achieving 100% PN confidence before quoting. Rate-limited for legal compliance (2s per domain, max 10 req/min). Required: partNumber.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
