buyer intelligence

procureradar-mcp-server

MCP server for ProcureRadar (智猫 / Zhimao) — find verified global B2B buyers (importers & distributors) by product category and country, then enrich contacts and run deep company intelligence. Think of it as the buyer-side counterpart to Alibaba: we surface buyers for sellers, not suppliers for buyers.

Operated by Acrometa Lifestyle Pte. Ltd., listed on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Neutral, PDPA-compliant data intermediary. Bilingual (English / 中文).

There are two ways to connect — pick one:

Option A — Remote MCP endpoint (recommended, zero install)

The hosted MCP endpoint supports an anonymous handshake and a free, rate-limited discovery tool (find_buyers) — you can try it without any credentials. Paid tools use OAuth 2.1 or a Bearer zk_ key.

Cursor / Claude Desktop (~/.cursor/mcp.json or Claude config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "procureradar": {
      "url": "https://www.procureradar.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer zk_YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI (note the httpUrl key):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "procureradar": {
      "httpUrl": "https://www.procureradar.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer zk_YOUR_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

find_buyers works without a token (anonymous, free, rate-limited). Unlocking contact details / intelligence requires a zk_ key or OAuth login.

Option B — Local stdio server (this npm package)

Runs the published npm package over stdio with your own API key.

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zhimao": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "procureradar-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "ZHIMAO_API_KEY": "zk_YOUR_TOKEN",
        "ZHIMAO_BASE_URL": "https://www.procureradar.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

💬 Example prompts

Once connected in your AI client, just ask in natural language:

1. Find buyers (free, anonymous) — "Find verified flour importers and distributors in Malaysia." → calls find_buyers { category: "flour", country_iso: "MY" }.
2. Enrich contacts (paid) — "Get the email and WhatsApp for the importer example-importer.com." → calls enrich_buyer_contact { target_domain: "example-importer.com" }.
3. Company intelligence (paid) — "Run a company intelligence check on example-importer.com in Malaysia and give me a risk score." → calls analyze_buyer_intelligence { target_domain: "example-importer.com", country_iso: "MY" }.

find_buyers is free and works without any credentials, so you can try example 1 immediately.

🔒 Security

• zk_ tokens are shown once at creation; the DB stores only sha256(token + salt).
• Up to 10 active keys per user; revoke unused ones from your account.
