Do I need a Neobi customer account?

Not for the free level: product search, brand search and market size are public, with no account and no key. The remaining market and portfolio tools need a Neobi key, and Neobi Pro unlocks everything — neobi.io/plans#ai-assistants lists every tool by level.

How do I use a Neobi key?

Keys are issued by Neobi — ask your Neobi contact. In your AI assistant's connector settings, add the key under Request headers as Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key. Never put the key in the connector URL: the URL shows in plain text in settings and screenshots.

Can an agent change data through this endpoint?

No. The Open MCP Preview is read-only.

Is observed distribution the same as sales market share?

No. Distribution describes observed menu or shelf presence. It must not be interpreted as complete national point-of-sale sales or sales market share.

What agents can connect?

Compatible clients that support remote MCP connections can use the endpoint. Exact setup steps depend on the client.

Is the Open MCP Preview production-grade?

No. It currently runs on dev-tier infrastructure with no SLA. Results are capped and cached, response times vary, and data freshness is not guaranteed.

Connect via MCP

Add this public endpoint to a compatible MCP client. It is read-only and serves three access levels: product search, brand search and market size answer with no Neobi account or API key; a Neobi key — added under the connector's Request headers as Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key, never in the URL — unlocks the market and portfolio tools, and Neobi Pro unlocks everything. See what each level unlocks → This is a dev-tier preview with no SLA; response time and data freshness are not guaranteed.

The compatibility check completed without credentials, and every tool response reports its own source lineage and sync timestamps. Freshness varies because the analytics sync is not yet covered by a published schedule or freshness SLA — trust the timestamps in the response, not this page.

What the data represents

Market Observation, Described Honestly

Public Neobi data describes observed products, stores, brands, menu or shelf presence, assortment, and retail pricing. Observed retail distribution is not sales market share, and this preview does not represent complete national point-of-sale sales data. Coverage and freshness can vary; lineage is included so agents can explain those limits with the answer.
