# eBay MCP server

Yes. eBay publishes an official MCP server that you install from the npm package @ebay/npm-public-api-mcp. It runs on your own computer and connects with an API key from your eBay account. We last checked it on 1 Oct 2026. MartechDB lists only servers the vendor publishes itself, never community servers.
