AI Assistant — VapaLape

Last updated: August 2026

VapaLape's AI assistant answers your questions about vaping products and their prices: current best price, cheapest offer for a given product, price history, store reliability. Ask a question in plain language and get an answer based on the price comparison data.

This page explains what the assistant can do and how to connect to it.

What you can ask

  • The assistant answers any price comparison question:
  • "How much does an Aegis Touch T200 pod cost today?"
  • "What is the best price for this product?"
  • "Has this product dropped in price this week?"
  • "Where is the cheapest place to buy it?"
  • "How reliable is this store?"

How it works

The assistant is exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI clients (Claude, etc.) query external services in a structured way.

Behind the server, answers rely on the same database as the VapaLape price comparison: prices, offers, histories and stores. The server is read-only — it modifies nothing, it only queries the comparison data.

Available capabilities

  • The server exposes five capabilities:
  • Product search: find a product and its current lowest price
  • Offers by store: compare a product's price across retailers
  • Price history: how the minimum price evolved over time
  • Category listing: discover the comparison's product categories
  • Store profile: reliability, verified status and website of a retailer

How to connect

The assistant is available over a secure HTTP endpoint, protected by an access key (Bearer token). Two ways to connect:

  1. 1In Claude.ai — open your project settings, add a "Custom connector" with the URL https://mcp.vapalape.com/mcp and your access key (Authorization: Bearer <your-key> header).
  1. 2In Claude Desktop — add the following entry to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
"mcpServers": {
  "vapalape": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.vapalape.com/mcp"],
    "env": {
      "MCP_REMOTE_AUTHORIZATION_HEADER": "Bearer <your-key>"
    }
  }
}

If you don't have an access key yet, contact us.

Limits and transparency

The server is read-only: no purchase or account action is possible. It returns public aggregated data from the comparison.

Like any AI, answers can contain mistakes. Always verify prices on the website before finalizing a purchase.
