## 🚀 Features

### ✨ [v1.2.5] Product detail (`result_detail_GLOBAL`)

Search results now include a product ID line so a follow-up call can load one product. Titles in every country use `title` only.

**When to call**

1. Call a search tool first (`search_buyking_semantic`, `search_buyking_semantic_KR`, `search_buyking_semantic_US`, or `search_buyking_semantic_JP`).
2. Each result contains `- 상품 ID: {id}` (for example `25023`).
3. Call `result_detail_GLOBAL` only when the user wants more about that one product: price history, the store buy link, the image, or scores. Do not use it for a new keyword search.

**How to call**

Tool name: `result_detail_GLOBAL`. Argument `id` is required and must be a numeric string from `상품 ID`.

```bash
curl -X POST https://buyking.saleplaza.com/message \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "result_detail_GLOBAL",
      "arguments": { "id": "25023" }
    }
  }'
```

**Response rules**

- The body is Markdown in `result.content[0].text`.
- The shippable country is a `PRODUCT_SHIPPING_REGIONS` region code derived from `currency`: `KRW` → `KR`, `USD` → `US`, `JPY` → `JP`. Field labels follow that currency (Korean, English, Japanese).
- The title is always `title`. `title_en` and `title_ja` are not returned.
- The image is always `origin_img_url`, including for non-Amazon products. The `image` column is never returned. If `origin_img_url` is empty, the image line is the localized word for none.
- Saleplaza page: `KRW` → `https://saleplaza.com/{id}`, `USD` → `https://saleplaza.com/en/{id}`, `JPY` → `https://saleplaza.com/ja/{id}`. The buy link is the `link` column.
- Dealchelin stars are computed from `sp_score` (85+ is 3, 70+ is 2, otherwise 1). It is not a database column.
- A non-numeric `id` returns an error sentence. An unknown id and a hidden product (`is_visible` is not 1) return the same "not in the vault" sentence, with no title, price, link, or image.

**Response fields, in order**

`price_history` is a list of `{ date: "YYYY-MM-DD", price }` rows, newest dates last, at most 10. When history exists, the three summary lines follow that list. When it is missing or not valid JSON, the history line says there is no record yet and the summary lines are omitted.

### ✨ [v1.2.1 New] Enhanced Multilingual Global Search
Find global shopping hot deals smarter without language barriers!
- **Massive Multilingual Dictionary Built-in**: Accurately and instantly matches global products without AI mistranslation (e.g., translating "mouse" to an animal) using a hashmap of 1,000+ core shopping keywords (English, Japanese ↔ Korean).
- **Smart Priority Sorting by Input Language**: Automatically detects the user's input language (English, Japanese, Korean) in 0.1 seconds and prioritizes hot deals using that country's currency (USD, JPY, KRW) to the top. (e.g., searching for `apple` in English will show 🇺🇸US products first!)

### Provided Tools — 6

#### 🌍 Global Search
- **`search_buyking_semantic`**: Semantically searches hot deals worldwide without borders. Each product is labeled with a shipping country code (🇰🇷KR/🇺🇸US/🇯🇵JP).

#### 🇰🇷 Korea Exclusive
- **`search_buyking_semantic_KR`**: Searches only hot deals directly shippable within Korea. KRW(₩) pricing, Korean results.

#### 🇺🇸 US Exclusive
- **`search_buyking_semantic_US`**: US-deliverable hot deals only. USD($) pricing, English results.

#### 🇯🇵 Japan Exclusive
- **`search_buyking_semantic_JP`**: Searches only hot deals deliverable within Japan. JPY(¥) pricing, Japanese results.

#### 🔎 Product Detail
- **`result_detail_GLOBAL`**: Fetches one product and its price history by the product ID from a search result. The shippable country is a region code from `currency`, matching `PRODUCT_SHIPPING_REGIONS` (`KRW` → `KR`, `USD` → `US`, `JPY` → `JP`). Parameter `id` (required).

#### ℹ️ Server Info
- **`get_server_info`**: Returns the version information and feature list of the BuyKing MCP server.

### Server Endpoints

- **HTTP JSON-RPC**: `https://buyking.saleplaza.com/message`
- **MCP Discovery**: `https://buyking.saleplaza.com/.well-known/mcp.json`
- **LLMs.txt**: `https://buyking.saleplaza.com/llms.txt`

## 📦 Installation

```bash
npm install buyking-mcp
```

## 🔧 Configuration

### Using in Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buyking-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "buyking-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

> 💡 **Tip**: Using the `@latest` tag ensures you always have the latest version installed, preventing cache issues.

## 🔌 Direct API Call

`https://buyking.saleplaza.com/message` counts each caller IP.

- Every `POST /message` counts toward 30 requests per minute.
- Search tools and `result_detail_GLOBAL` also count toward 500 product lookups per day. The day resets at 00:00 Korea Standard Time.
- `tools/list` and `get_server_info` count toward the minute limit only.

Over the limit the server returns HTTP `429` and does not query the product API. The stdio package `npx buyking-mcp` does not pass through this Worker, so this limit applies to the HTTP endpoint.

### HTTP JSON-RPC Example

```bash
# Global Search
curl -X POST https://buyking.saleplaza.com/message \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
