Groupon deals for Claude — search and browse local, goods, and travel deals
groupon-mcp
MCP server for Groupon — search and browse local, goods, and travel deals from Claude via natural language.
This project was developed and is maintained by AI. Use at your own discretion.
Status
Early read-path MVP. Deal-read tools (search and browse over Groupon's public consumer endpoint) land in upcoming phases; this release establishes the server skeleton. No API key or account is required to read deals.
Setup
Add the server to your .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"groupon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "groupon-mcp"]
}
}
}
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc + esbuild bundle → dist/
npm test # tsc typecheck + vitest
See CLAUDE.md for architecture, conventions, and gotchas.
