Is Buywhere safe and trustworthy?

tashan scores Buywhere on public evidence — it is currently abandoned, no known advisories against the current release. Audit scope: OSV advisories, install-time scripts, build provenance and declared permission surface. We do not review source code or execute the capability.

How do I install Buywhere?

Don't. This capability has been discontinued by its author or publisher and is not scored or recommended. If you are already running it, `npx tashan-cli doctor` will flag it and name what to move to.

Buywhere

npm

BuyWhere MCP server for product search, price comparison, and affiliate-ready shopping workflows.

Works with: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cline, Windsurf, VS Code (installable)
installable: each client documents how to load an MCP server of this type — that is the client's promise, not a claim verified against this capability

Category: Search — see all ranked ›

Discontinued — do not install. The author's own notice: “BuyWhere MCP server for product search, price comparison, and affiliate-ready shopping workflows.” It stays listed so anyone already running it can find this page, and so npx tashan-cli doctor can warn about it. It is not scored and does not appear in any ranking.

Not graded: shares its documentation with 1 other capability. A grade read off another project’s document would borrow its credit, or its blame.

Looking for a replacement? npx tashan-cli doctor is free and tells you everything above about your whole config. tashan Pro names the replacement — which one, and how it measures. $6/mo.

Security audit

Every finding is shown in full — which advisory, the version that fixes it, and the exact command run at install time. Nothing in this audit is behind a licence.

No known advisoriesclearchecked against OSV for 1.0.2 — this package, not its dependency tree

No access inferred from declared dependenciesnothing it depends on reaches files, shell or network. This reads declarations only — built-in APIs are invisible to it, so absence of a declaration is not absence of access

No build provenanceno attestation — the published artifact cannot be traced to its source

npx tashan-cli doctor
