actorio-cli

A command-line client and MCP server for Actorio's product search. It wraps the same search endpoints the web UI uses (products, favorites, Amazon, reverse lookup) and exposes them both as interactive CLI commands and as tools for AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol.

Install

Install from PyPI — pipx is recommended so the actorio entry point gets an isolated environment:

pipx install actorio-cli
# or, if you prefer a plain pip install into your environment:
pip install actorio-cli

For development against a local checkout:

pip install -e ".[test]"

Both methods install the actorio entry point on your PATH.

Updates

The CLI checks PyPI for a newer release once a day (in the background, so it never slows a command down) and prints an upgrade notice to stderr:

A new version of actorio-cli is available: 0.2.0 (installed: 0.1.0).
Run `pipx upgrade actorio-cli` to update.

The notice never touches stdout, so --json pipelines stay clean, and it is disabled while running actorio mcp. Skip the check entirely with ACTORIO_NO_VERSION_CHECK=1 (useful in CI). actorio --version shows the installed version.

Authentication

Note: clitest.actorio.com is a temporary test instance — the base URL will move to the production API (api.actorio.com) in the future.

Log in once per machine using the device-code flow:

actorio login --base-url https://clitest.actorio.com

The CLI prints a short user code and a verification URL. Open the URL in a
browser where you are already signed in to Actorio and approve the request.
The CLI polls until the approval lands, then writes a token to
`~/.actorio/config.json` with file mode `0600`.

To revoke a token, use the Actorio account settings page (coming soon — for
now, contact Actorio support or run `actorio logout` locally to forget the
token on this machine).

## Commands

Every search command accepts `--limit` (server default 20, or 16 for reverse search; max 100), `--offset` (default 0) and `--json`.
Without `--json`, results render as a Rich table mirroring the webapp
product table: identifiers (ASIN/EAN/SKU), Amazon + supplier titles,
VAT-aware supplier price (net/gross with EUR equivalents), and
per-marketplace rows (DE/ES/FR/GB/IT) for Amazon price, sellers (with FBA
count), unit profit, unit ROI, monthly sales and monthly profit, plus the
monthly totals. With `--price-reference avg30` the table switches to the
30-day-average price/profit columns, like the webapp toggle. `--json`
returns every field the backend has for each row.

- `actorio login --base-url URL [--label LABEL]` — start the device-code
  login flow and store the issued token.
  ```bash
  actorio login --base-url https://clitest.actorio.com --label laptop

• actorio logout — delete the local config file.

  actorio logout
  

• actorio whoami — print the stored base URL, token label, and username.

  actorio whoami
  

• actorio products search [QUERY] [filters...] [--limit 20] [--offset 0] [--json] — search the product catalog with the full webapp filter set.

  actorio products search "lego star wars" --country DE --price-max 50
  actorio products search --roi-min 30 --profit-month-min 200 --marketplace DE --missing-fba
  

• actorio favorites search [QUERY] [filters...] [--limit] [--offset] [--json] — search your saved favorites (same filters as products).

  actorio favorites search headphones --json
  

• actorio amazon search [QUERY] [filters...] [--limit] [--offset] [--json] — Amazon Flip: cross-marketplace Amazon-to-Amazon arbitrage. --store is the source marketplace you buy from; --marketplace the target you compare against.

  actorio amazon search --store amazon.es --marketplace DE --roi-min 20
  

• actorio reverse search ASINS [--actorio-only] [--limit] [--offset] [--json] — reverse lookup for one or more ASINs (comma or space separated).

  actorio reverse search "B09XYZ1234,B08ABC5678"
  

• actorio products|favorites|amazon|reverse export [filters...] [--format csv|xlsx] [--output FILE] — download the full filtered result set (up to 2500 rows), matching the web UI's export buttons. Exports cost more credits than searches.

  actorio amazon export --marketplace DE --roi-min 20 --format xlsx -o flips.xlsx
  

• actorio usage — show your credit balance, allowance and reset date.
• actorio buy-credits [--no-open] — open the credit-pack purchase page (billing happens in the Actorio web app).
• actorio mcp — start the MCP server on stdio. Intended to be launched by an MCP-capable client, not run interactively.

Advanced filters

Every filter the web UI offers is available as a flag on products/favorites (and most on amazon) search/export commands:

--country, --type (RTL/WHL/UPL/EXC), --store (repeatable), --upc-list, --asin-list, --price-min/max (supplier price VAT incl., i.e. the web UI's "Supplier Price" filter), --marketplace (DE/ES/FR/GB/IT), --price-reference avg30, --last-update 24|48, --missing-fba, --multipack, --variations, --hazmat, --suppressed-buybox, --size (repeatable), --category (repeatable), --similarity 0-3, --competitive-price-min/max, --profit-min/max, --roi-min/max, --profit-month-min/max, --sales-month-min/max (each range has a --*-logic all variant: blank = ANY marketplace, all = ALL marketplaces), and --sort (e.g. profit, -profit, identifiers).

Plan limits apply exactly as on the web: e.g. filters your plan doesn't include are ignored/forced server-side, and product exports require the full-search permission.

Output formats

By default, results print as a human-friendly Rich table. Pass --json for machine-readable output — this is the format MCP tools and any scripting use. JSON output includes both results and pagination (with total, page, per_page, and has_more).

MCP setup for Claude Desktop

Add an entry to your Claude Desktop mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "actorio": {
      "command": "actorio",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The MCP server exposes these tools, each mirroring the parameters of the matching CLI command (including all advanced filters):

• search_products
• search_favorites
• search_amazon — Amazon Flip arbitrage search
• reverse_lookup — takes asins (comma/space separated)
• export_results — saves a CSV/XLSX export to a local path
• get_usage — credit balance and reset date

Search responses include _meta.credits (cost, remaining, reset) so agents can track spend. You must actorio login on the same machine first. The MCP server reads the same ~/.actorio/config.json the CLI writes.

Config file

Location: ~/.actorio/config.json, mode 0600.

Fields:

• base_url — the Actorio instance this token was issued for.
• token — the bearer token (act_...).
• token_label — the label supplied at login time.

Delete it with actorio logout.

Pagination

Search commands take --limit (results per request; server default 20 for products/favorites/amazon, 16 for reverse, max 100) and --offset (skip this many results, default 0). When using --json, check pagination.has_more to decide whether to fetch more by increasing --offset by --limit.
