MCP server for real-time product search by barcode (EAN, UPC, GTIN) or keyword on ean-search.org
This official MCP server allows you to access the product database on EAN-Search.org from your AI toolchain.
This MCP server supports local communication over stdio. If you AI tools already support streamable http, please use our remote MCP server which is much easier to install. See https://www.ean-search.org/blog/mcp-server-for-ai.html
mcp-name: io.github.eansearch/eansearch-mcp-server
Here is a sample configuration for Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

"args": [
"--directory",
"c:\\PATH\\TO\\eansearch-mcp-server",
"run",
"eansearch-mcp-server.py"
],
"env": {
"EAN_SEARCH_API_TOKEN": "<your API key here>"
}
}
}
}
Source-derived launch command. Check the maintainer’s required arguments and credentials before running:
uvx eansearch-mcp-serverMerge this template into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Keep existing servers. Add any arguments, credentials, and permissions required by the maintainer; this template has not been install-tested.
