# Ebay MCP server

Simple Ebay server that lets you fetch auctions from Ebay.com

Uses the official [MCP Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) to handle protocol communication and server interactions.

## Example

Let's you use prompts like, "Find me 10 auctions for batman comics"

## Components

- list_auction: Scan ebay for auctions. This tool is helpful for finding auctions on ebay.
  - Required "query" argument for the search query
