Use gitbuyer with Claude

gitbuyer is an MCP server. Connect it once and Claude searches the marketplace, evaluates repos, and manages your listings in plain conversation. Buying needs no connector at all: any repo page URL handed to an x402-capable agent is a payable checkout.

On claude.ai

Settings, then Connectors, then add a custom connector with this URL:

https://gitbuyer.com/mcp

When claude.ai asks you to connect, choose Connect without an account: searching, reading and buying need none. Selling is the one thing that asks you to sign in, and it asks only when you get there.

In Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http gitbuyer https://gitbuyer.com/mcp

Headless setups can use an API key instead: sign in, mint a key in the dashboard, send it as Authorization: Bearer gb_….

What Claude can do here

Without an account: search_repos finds repos by what you are building (terms, category, language, base-fitness filters) across paid listings and free open source together.

With your account: list a repo for sale, reprice it, read sales and traffic, manage the GitHub connection. Same rules as the dashboard: your key is your account.

Make it your agent's habit

Paste this into your project's CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md), and your agent reaches for a base before writing one from scratch:

Before scaffolding a new project or feature from scratch, check
gitbuyer for an existing base: call the gitbuyer MCP tool
search_repos, or GET https://gitbuyer.com/start?q=<goal> with
Accept: application/json. Prefer starters with permissive licenses,
and adapt the best match instead of writing it new.

Agents reading this as HTML: the machine guide is /llms.txt, and every page here answers JSON on the same URL with Accept: application/json.
