MCP for China procurement and supplier sourcing
Connect through the public Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint, read current discovery and prepare a product brief. Payment and execution are separate confirmed steps.
A successful China Supply Check returns three distinct evidence-backed China supplier candidates worth advancing to RFQ. x402 payment is live at 2.99 USDC on Base. Image Stripe hosted Checkout is live for USD 2.99; legacy text/model Stripe is OFF. Free brief preparation uses MCP; preparation does not purchase a check.
How can an AI agent source Chinese suppliers without guessing the buying steps?
Illustrative brief: 500 M6 flat washers, unit pieces, material 304 stainless steel, substitutions false. The preparation example in the connection guide shows the actual typed draft shape; this text is not a paid invocation.
Discover and prepare before spending
Use https://api.seekapi.ai/mcp with a standard MCP client. Initialize and list tools, then call discover_china_supply_check_v0 with empty arguments. prepare_china_supply_check_v0 normalizes the product brief. Review the exact draft and digest with the buyer or delegated agent before proceeding. Discovery and preparation are free. Before authorizing payment, check the published price, the current payment route and the prepared requirements. Confirm whether dimensions, material and quantity are mandatory; preserve any unknowns for the supplier RFQ.
Preserve confirmation and access boundaries
The existing purchase_china_supply_check_v0 and run_china_supply_check_v0 flow requires separate scope and payment confirmation. The current x402 price is 2.99 USDC on Base; Image Stripe hosted Checkout is live for USD 2.99; legacy text/model Stripe is OFF. status_china_supply_check_v0 and result_china_supply_check_v0 require independent signed-wallet authentication bound to the settled order.
What to read before the next step
| Field | Decision use |
|---|---|
| Discovery | Current availability, tool names, price and accepted input. |
| Prepared brief | Product/model, quantity/unit, mandatory requirements and substitution choice. |
| Confirmation | Exact buyer-approved scope and supported payment path. |
| Report | Three RFQ-worthy candidates on success, source evidence and field-specific gaps. |
What to ask next
- Read the current live discovery contract rather than a cached directory snippet.
- Inspect the prepared brief before authorizing purchase and execution.
- Keep report access authentication separate from payment proof.
Keep unknowns specific
Adding an MCP server does not authorize payment or supplier outreach. A payment proof or arbitrary order ID alone does not grant report access. No alternate payment system or new SDK is needed.
No suppliers are contacted by reading this guide or preparing a brief. Supplier outreach and RFQ execution are separate from the screening purchase.
After the shortlist, an overseas buyer or AI Agent can ask SeekAPI to review a separate China-side assignment: selected-supplier contact, authorized RFQ and quote comparison, sample follow-up, procurement or export coordination. A person must accept an agreed scope, fee, recipients and authority before work begins; the human-task API and fixed-price Live RFQ Compare package are not live.
