PandaFind User Guide

PandaFind is a remote MCP server by 17labs that helps AI assistants search AliExpress more effectively, compare similar listings, and spot likely reseller markups.

Quick Setup

  • Add PandaFind as a remote MCP server in your assistant client.
  • Server URL: https://mcp-pandafind.17labs.ai/mcp
  • Transport: streamable HTTP over POST /mcp
  • Authentication: no user sign-in or OAuth is required today.
  • Primary tool: search_products

What It Does

  • Searches AliExpress with marketplace-style queries generated from natural language.
  • Returns candidate products with pricing, images, and destination links.
  • Helps compare nearby variants instead of relying on generic web shopping results.
  • Works best for consumer product discovery, variants, accessories, and price checks.

How To Use PandaFind

  1. Ask for a product in plain language, even if you do not know the exact AliExpress keywords.
  2. Add hard constraints like budget, destination country, or product variant when they matter.
  3. For “cheapest” requests, mention capacities, bundle details, and whether accessories or batteries must be included.
  4. Review the returned listings carefully, especially when multiple variants share one product page.

Example Prompts

Natural-language search

Find me a tunable white LED strip on AliExpress.

Budget-constrained search

Find a portable espresso maker on AliExpress for under 25 euros.

Cross-marketplace check

Find cheaper AliExpress alternatives to this portable espresso maker.

Variant-sensitive search

Find the cheapest 12V USB-C PD trigger board with a display, not a cable-only listing.

Known Limits

  • PandaFind does not process payments, orders, shipping, or returns.
  • Product prices, stock, shipping, and listing details can change on third-party marketplaces without notice.
  • Some outbound links may be affiliate links.
  • Results can include mixed variants when the underlying marketplace listing is ambiguous.
  • PandaFind is for shopping discovery and comparison, not legal, customs, warranty, or safety advice.

Troubleshooting

No useful results

Try adding the product type, destination country, price range, or the exact variant you need.

Results look noisy or mismatched

Call out the must-have constraints directly, such as wattage, voltage, capacity, connector type, bundle contents, or color temperature.

A listing looks cheaper than expected

Check whether the default variant is lower capacity, case-only, or excludes accessories like batteries, power supplies, or adapters.

Connection issues

Confirm the MCP client is using https://mcp-pandafind.17labs.ai/mcp over HTTPS and supports remote MCP with streamable HTTP.
