Amazon Price Tracker MCP

MCP server for tracking Amazon product prices via camelcamelcamel.com. Uses headless Chromium (Playwright) to bypass Cloudflare protection — no visible windows, runs as a background daemon.

Tools

Tool	Description
get_product_price	Get price history for an Amazon product. Input: URL, short link, or ASIN
resolve_short_link	Resolve a.co / amzn.to short links to full Amazon URLs
extract_asin	Extract the ASIN from any Amazon URL format

Quick Install

git clone https://github.com/aravindtri/amazon-price-tracker-mcp.git
cd amazon-price-tracker-mcp
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
npm run build

Usage

Input: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N5WRWNW
Input: https://a.co/d/0aNbqzsI  
Input: B08N5WRWNW

Returns product name, category, manufacturer, model, and price summary:

• Current, lowest ever, highest ever, average prices
• Separate tracking for Amazon, 3rd Party New, and 3rd Party Used

How It Works

1. Extracts ASIN from Amazon URLs (supports /dp/, /gp/product/, short links)
2. Resolves short links by following redirects in headless Chrome
3. Loads camelcamelcamel.com/product/{ASIN} in headless Chromium
4. Cloudflare challenge auto-resolves (real Chrome engine)
5. Parses the rendered HTML for price data using cheerio
6. Browser stays alive for 5 minutes idle, then auto-closes
