Swappa Prices MCP server

@pipeworx/swappa-prices

Daily-updated used-device prices from Swappa: current active-listing averages by variant, and realized (sold) average price per storage tier plus a sample of individual sold listings with date/condition/price.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1669+ live data sources.

Tools

name (needed by the other two tools, though they'll also auto-resolve a free-text device argument themselves).

• search_device(query, limit?) — find a device's Swappa slug by free-text

and a variant breakdown table (carrier/storage → listing count, avg price, trade-in value).

• device_prices(device) — starting price, average (active-listing) price,

price average per storage tier (distinct from the list-price average in device_prices), plus a rolling sample of individual sold listings.

• sale_prices(device, condition?, carrier?, storage?) — the realized SALE

Auth

Keyless. Public pages, no login required.

Data sources

price, variant table (table.table-striped), and a "Storage Prices" table (#recent_prices, columns Storage | Avg list price | Avg sale price) — the latter is the actual realized-sale-price data.

• https://swappa.com/prices/ — per-device price page: starting/average

"Recent Sales" slide-out; a plain HX-Request: true header (no cookie/auth) is enough — without it the endpoint 302s. Accepts condition, carrier, storage query filters (values vary per device; discover them from the options in the fragment, e.g. unlocked, att, t-mobile, 128gb).

• https://swappa.com/xui/product//sales — htmx partial backing the

autocomplete, used to resolve a free-text device name to its slug (data-product-slug attribute on data-index-name="swappa-catalog-product" links; productgroup and productsub entries are skipped — the former has no /prices/ page, the latter carries an empty slug).

• https://swappa.com/search/quick_search?q= — the site's own search

robots.txt (checked 2026-09-05) disallows only /cgi-bin/ — no crawl-delay, no anti-bot page block encountered on /prices/, /search/quicksearch, or /xui/product/*/sales. Swappa's "Data Services" contact page 404'd during the survey (contact-based bulk offering, unverified) — no bulk/API terms were found linked from the /prices pages themselves during this build.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swappa-prices": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swappa-prices/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/swappa-prices/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — askpipeworx, discovertools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
