Connect to SSE endpoint, get session SESSION=$(curl -sN https://mcp.chexb.com/sse | grep "^data:" | head -1 | sed 's/data: //') # 2. Initialize MCP session curl -s -X POST "https://mcp.chexb.com${SESSION}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"openclaw","version":"1.0"}}}' # 3. Call a tool curl -s -X POST "https://mcp.chexb.com${SESSION}" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_products","arguments":{"keyword":"LED light","page":1}}}' ``` ### With mcporter (optional convenience) If `mcporter` is installed, calls are simpler: ```bash mcporter call https://mcp.chexb.com/sse.search_products keyword="LED light" mcporter call https://mcp.chexb.com/sse.search_suppliers keyword="LED light" mcporter call https://mcp.chexb.com/sse.get_product_detail url="https://..." ``` ## Sourcing Workflow ### 1. Product Discovery Start with `search_products` to find products matching requirements. Each result includes: - Product name, price, MOQ - Key specifications (properties) - Supplier name and link - Product image Iterate pages for broader results. Refine keywords for precision (e.g., "12V LED strip waterproof" vs "LED"). ### 2. Supplier Evaluation Use `search_suppliers` to find manufacturers. Results include: - Company name and business type (Manufacturer / Trading Company) - Main products and location - Certification badges (ISO, audited, etc.) **Prefer manufacturers over trading companies** for better pricing. Check badges for quality signals. ### 3. Product Deep Dive Use `get_product_detail` on promising products. Returns: - Full specifications and description - All product images - Sample pricing (if available) - Product categories and video URL - Supplier/brand info ### 4. Comparison & Recommendation When comparing options, organize by: - **Price range** (unit price + MOQ) - **Supplier credibility** (badges, business type) - **Specifications match** (vs buyer requirements) - **Sample availability** (sample price if listed) ## Best Practices - Use English keywords for best results on Made-in-China.com - Search both products AND suppliers for the same keyword to get different perspectives - Always check MOQ — it varies dramatically between suppliers - "Manufacturer" business type typically means better unit pricing - Cross-reference supplier badges: Audited Supplier > general listings - For detailed specs, always follow up with `get_product_detail` ## Output Format Present results in clean, scannable format: - Use tables for product/supplier comparisons - Highlight price, MOQ, and key specs prominently - Include direct links to products and supplier pages - Flag notable badges or certifications ## Data & Privacy This skill sends data to an external MCP server: - **Endpoint:** `https://mcp.chexb.com/sse` - **What is sent:** Search keywords, page numbers, product URLs - **What is returned:** Public product listings, supplier info, pricing, images from Made-in-China.com - **Storage:** No queries or results are stored on the server - **Authentication:** None required — the server is a stateless proxy that scrapes public pages ⚠️ Do not include sensitive or proprietary information in search queries. All queries are transmitted over HTTPS. For more on sourcing strategy, see [references/sourcing-guide.md](references/sourcing-guide.md).
