Quick start

Option 1: npx

Add this to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@andrijdavid/vinted-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Option 1b: bunx (canary)

bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

This starts the server in stdio mode and waits for an MCP client.

Option 2: global install

npm install -g @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp

Then configure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "vinted-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Run in network mode (Streamable HTTP over TCP)

If you need a network endpoint instead of stdio, run:

VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001 bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Optional:

• VINTED_MCP_PATH (default /mcp)
• VINTED_MCP_ENABLE_LEGACY_SSE (default true)
• VINTED_MCP_LEGACY_SSE_PATH (default /sse)
• VINTED_MCP_LEGACY_MESSAGES_PATH (default /messages)

Default endpoints:

• Streamable HTTP (recommended): http://127.0.0.1:3001/mcp
• Legacy SSE (older clients): http://127.0.0.1:3001/sse

CLI usage and env variables

Pass env vars inline (macOS/Linux)

VINTED_AUTH_MODE=env \
VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES='session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value' \
VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN='your_csrf_token' \
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Pass env vars inline (PowerShell)

$env:VINTED_AUTH_MODE = "env"
$env:VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES = "session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value"
$env:VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN = "your_csrf_token"
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Pass env vars inline (Windows Command Prompt)

set VINTED_AUTH_MODE=env
set VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES=session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value
set VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN=your_csrf_token
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Use a local .env file

The server auto-loads .env from the current working directory.

cp .env.example .env
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Run network mode from CLI with env

VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001 \
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Windows Command Prompt:

set VINTED_MCP_TRANSPORT=http
set VINTED_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1
set VINTED_MCP_PORT=3001
bunx @andrijdavid/vinted-mcp@next

Authentication and environment

The server auto-loads .env from the working directory if present.

Start from the example file:

cp .env.example .env

Main variables:

• VINTED_AUTH_MODE: http, playwright, or env
• VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES: cookie header string or JSON object string
• VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN: CSRF token
• VINTED_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN: optional bearer token
• VINTED_PROXY_URL: optional proxy URL
• VINTED_MAX_CONCURRENCY: optional tuning
• VINTED_REQUEST_DELAY_MS: optional tuning
• VINTED_MAX_RETRIES: optional tuning

Example client config with env auth:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinted": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@andrijdavid/vinted-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VINTED_AUTH_MODE": "env",
        "VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES": "session_cookie=your_value; other_cookie=your_value",
        "VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN": "your_csrf_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to get cookies and CSRF token

1. Sign in to Vinted in your browser.
2. Open Developer Tools.
3. Open Network and refresh.
4. Open any https://www.vinted.<country>/api/... request.
5. Copy from Request Headers:
   • cookie -> VINTED_AUTH_COOKIES
   • x-csrf-token -> VINTED_AUTH_CSRF_TOKEN
6. Optional: copy authorization: Bearer ... token into VINTED_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Security notes:

• treat these values as secrets
• never commit .env
• rotate tokens/cookies if exposed
