Automating Weekly Product Research With Claude and MCP
Every Monday you open 4 tools, run the same queries, compile the same spreadsheet. You have been doing this for years. What if your AI did it for you in 30 seconds?
That is the promise of connecting Claude to live marketplace data through MCP -- the Model Context Protocol. Instead of logging into multiple dashboards, exporting CSV files, and stitching together a market picture by hand, you ask Claude one question and get a structured answer backed by real-time data. No switching tabs. No copy-paste. No pivot tables at 8 AM.
This article walks through how it works, what you can build with it, and how to set it up in under five minutes using the open-source sorftime-seller-agent MCP server.
