Etsy Search & Shop Sales MCP

Languages: English · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어 · Español · Português (Brasil) · Deutsch · Français · Русский · Türkçe

Etsy search and Etsy shop sales data for CRMs, dashboards, research workflows, and AI assistants — live Etsy search listing rows plus shop sales counters — via Apify’s hosted MCP or the Store Actors directly.

Pull live Etsy search listing rows (title, price, shop, badges, rank) and Etsy shop sales counters with history/breakout fields through Apify MCP. This is an Etsy scraper / Etsy MCP pin for both Actors. Client config plus a small open-source stdio proxy server. No Actor source.

Disclosure: I maintain these Actors on Apify Store (publicrecords). This repo holds MCP / client config and a small open-source stdio proxy server (src/).

Paid Actor (tracked): Etsy Shop Sales Tracker & Scraper on Apify — daily sales / velocity for named Etsy shops.

MCP pin (both Actors)

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=publicrecords/etsy-shop-velocity,publicrecords/etsy-search-scraper

Actor	Store / status	Role
Etsy Search Scraper	publicrecords/etsy-search-scraper (listed)	Live keyword / market / category listing rows (title, price, shop, badges, rank)
Etsy Shop Sales Tracker & Scraper	publicrecords/etsy-shop-velocity (listed)	Daily sales / velocity rows for named Etsy shops (counters, history, breakout)

Use either path:

Apify MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client) with the pin above
Store Actors directly in Apify Console / API for pipelines, CRMs, and dashboards

Auth: your own Apify token in the client when prompted. Runs are billed on your Apify account.

Pricing (as of Oct 28, 2026)

Pay per event, billed on your Apify account. Free-plan list prices; Apify Store discounts lower them on paid plans. The Store pricing pages are the live source.

Search: `publicrecords/etsy-search-scraper` (Store pricing)

Event	Price
`listing-row`	0.4¢ per complete listing (0.34¢ on Gold and up)
`actor-start`	0.005¢ once per run, only when a complete listing is in hand

A run that returns no rows charges nothing. Works out of the box on Apify residential proxy (default; Apify bills proxy usage separately, with no proxy markup on our events). Or plug in your own residential proxy. Blocked pages charge no listing rows.

Tracker: `publicrecords/etsy-shop-velocity` (Store pricing)

Event	Price
`shop-row`	0.3¢ per shop row (0.255¢ on Gold and up)
`actor-start`	0.005¢ once per run, only when the first shop row is ready

Example: 10 shops come to about 3¢ on the Free plan. No proxy required.

Tools

Live tools/list against the pin URL (Bearer Apify token). Tool names exposed:

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etsy-sales": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
        "--actors",
        "publicrecords/etsy-shop-velocity,publicrecords/etsy-search-scraper"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or point the Apify remote MCP URL (with the pin above) if your Claude Desktop version supports remote MCP servers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etsy-sales": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=publicrecords/etsy-shop-velocity,publicrecords/etsy-search-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Local stdio server (open source)

This repo also ships a small MCP server in src/ for clients that only run local stdio servers. It answers initialize and tools/list locally from tools.json, which is generated from each Actor's public input schema and checked for drift in CI and weekly, so any client or directory can inspect the tools with no token. tools/call is forwarded to the hosted Apify MCP endpoint above with your own APIFY_TOKEN; without a token a call returns a clear error instead of running anything. The token is only sent in the Authorization header and is never logged.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etsy-sales": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:GeminiGeorge22/etsy-sales-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Or from a clone:

git clone https://github.com/GeminiGeorge22/etsy-sales-mcp.git
cd etsy-sales-mcp && npm install
APIFY_TOKEN=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN node src/server.js

Optional env: APIFY_ACTORS (comma-separated subset of the Actors above) and APIFY_MCP_URL (full endpoint override).

Tests run against an in-memory mock server, with no network and no token: npm test. Requires Node.js 18+.

Python (uvx/pip)

A matching Python version of this server lives in python/, built on the official mcp Python SDK: same tools, same APIFY_TOKEN, same hosted endpoint. Requires Python 3.10+.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "etsy-sales": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["etsy-sales-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Or with pip: pip install etsy-sales-mcp, then run etsy-sales-mcp. Python tests: cd python && pip install -e ".[test]" && env -u APIFY_TOKEN python -m pytest.
