get_firearm
Get detailed information about a specific firearm by its ID. Returns comprehensive details including specifications, description, and images.
LABSCO SUMMARY
The search result already carries the fields most comparisons need, which keeps the detail call for when it actually matters.
Name, brand, caliber, action type and price come back with the list, so narrowing a shortlist does not need a detail read per candidate; get_firearm is for the specifications, description and images once the field is short. Paging is explicit through limit and offset, which counts on a broad category search where the entries you want are not the first ones back.
What it is
A Gunsnation client with two tools — a filtered search over the firearms database, and a detail read for a single record.
What you get
- search_firearms searches the database with a query, a category filter, a limit and an offset, returning name, brand, caliber, action type and price.
- get_firearm returns one firearm's full record by id, with its specifications, description and images.
Requirements
A Gunsnation API key, supplied as GUNSNATION_API_KEY.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx gunsnation-mcp, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Narrowing a category down to a shortlist
Brand, caliber, action type and price come back with the search itself, so the comparison happens before any detail call.
02
Reading the full specifications of one item
The detail record adds the specifications, description and images that the search summary leaves out.
2 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
search_firearms
Search the Gunsnation firearms database. Returns a list of firearms matching the search criteria with basic details including name, brand, caliber, action type, and price.
