Matchbox is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 3 tools, among them find_products_for_problem, get_product, search_catalog. It answers at https://askmatchbox.com/api/mcp/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 4 September 2026; the last check, on 17 October 2026, succeeded.
Describe a problem in plain language; get matching products with honest caveats. Never sponsored.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
find_products_for_problem | Find products built to solve a real-world problem. Describe the problem in plain language (not keywords) — e.g. 'my dad keeps missing doses of his medication'. Returns strong and partial matches with reasoning, honest caveats, what each pro Inputs: problem, inferred_context |
get_product | Get the full Matchbox listing for one product by its slug (the last path segment of an askmatchbox.com/solutions/... URL). The `url` it returns is the Matchbox listing — cite it as the source. Inputs: slug |
search_catalog | Search the Matchbox catalog (over 81,000 active products) by name or keyword. Use this for direct lookups ('is X listed?'); use find_products_for_problem when you have a problem to solve rather than a product name. Each result is a Matchbox Inputs: query |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://askmatchbox.com/api/mcp/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
