Swippa for ChatGPT and Claude

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Swippa is a video marketplace for buying and selling second-hand items with people nearby, organised by neighborhood, wherever you live. With the Swippa connector, your AI assistant can find items for you, talk to sellers for you, and list your own items, while you stay in control.

What you can ask

• “Find a kids’ bike under 200 near me.”
• “What’s on sale at Pop-ups this weekend?” or “What’s in tonight’s Rush?”
• “Message the seller of that sofa and ask if they can deliver.”
• “Make a 900 AED offer on the standing desk.”
• “Sell my Xbox controller for 120 AED, like new.” (Attach photos to post it straight away.)
• “Tell me when someone lists a trampoline.”
• “Do I have new messages?”

Connect it

1. Claude: open Settings → Connectors, find Swippa in the directory and select Connect. To add it manually, use the URL https://api.swippa.me/mcp.
2. ChatGPT: open the Apps directory, find Swippa and select Connect.
3. A Swippa page opens. Enter your Swippa username and select Send approval to my phone.
4. In the Swippa app, tap the number shown on that page. Your assistant is now connected.

Searching items, neighborhoods, Pop-ups and Rush evenings works without signing in (https://api.swippa.me/mcp/public).

What the assistant can and can’t do

It can	It can’t
Search items and show details, prices, area and distance Read your chats and your items Message sellers and reply in your chats (labeled “via” your assistant) Make price offers (the seller can accept, decline or counter) Create keyword alerts Post items you ask it to sell	Pay, buy or reserve anything See anyone’s exact location (areas are blurred by a few hundred meters) See a seller’s private minimum price Change your account, profile or settings Delete anything

Your assistant should always confirm with you before it messages someone, makes an offer or posts an item. There are limits: up to 30 messages or offers an hour, and up to 10 items a day, through assistants.

Posting items

If you give your assistant photos, the item is posted right away: Swippa turns the photos into a short video and it goes live in about a minute. Without photos, nothing is posted: you get a notification that opens the Swippa sell screen already filled in, so you only add a video and tap Post. You can edit or delete any item in the app.

Disconnect

In the Swippa app, go to Settings → Connected AI assistants and select Disconnect. This revokes the assistant’s access immediately. You can also remove the connector in ChatGPT or Claude.

Privacy

When connected, Swippa sends your assistant the information needed to answer your request (for example search results, or the messages in a chat you asked about). That information is then handled by your assistant’s provider (OpenAI or Anthropic) under their terms. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.
