The competition_data_search tool searches Competition Data and returns competitor prices for a product. Use the tool to look up competitor prices by product ID (SKU) or product name. The tool returns competitor price data only; to retrieve your own current price for a product, use a quote or product pricing tool instead.

Permissions
The competition_data_search tool uses your Pricefx permissions. You can retrieve competition data only for products that you have permission to view.
In the MCP Server CD5 Iteration 5 release, competition_data_search runs as a Groovy tool on your Pricefx partition, not centrally on the Pricefx MCP Server. To make it available to your MCP clients, the tool must be deployed to your partition:
-
The Groovy logic that implements the tool must be deployed to the partition.
-
The tool must be declared in an Advanced Configuration Option named
MCP_tool_competition_data_search. For more information, see Partition Tools Declaration.
If the tool is not deployed, it does not appear in the tool list of your MCP client. The tool is planned to move to the Pricefx MCP Server in an upcoming release, after which no deployment will be needed.
