The product_search tool searches Pricefx product records and returns the products that match your search criteria. Use the tool to look up products by name or attribute values such as product group, sub-product group, or industry. Each returned product always includes its product ID (SKU), label, currency, and system ID, in addition to any other attributes you request.

Permissions
The product_search tool uses your Pricefx permissions. You can retrieve details only for products that you have permission to view.
In the MCP Server CD5 Iteration 5 release, product_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_product_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.
