What your AI can do with Matchbox
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “find_products_for_problem”: Find products built to solve a real-world problem. Describe the problem in plain language (not keywords) — e.g. 'my dad keeps missing doses.”
“Use “search_catalog”: Search the Matchbox catalog (~12,000 products) by name or keyword. Use this for direct lookups ('is X listed?'); use find_products_for_probl.”
“Use “get_product”: Get the full Matchbox listing for one product by its slug (the last path segment of an askmatchbox.com/solutions/... URL). The `url` it retu.”
How secure is the Matchbox MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Matchbox holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Matchbox (askmatchbox.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Matchbox adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

Who runs the Matchbox MCP server?
The Matchbox MCP server at a glance
https://askmatchbox.com/api/mcp/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Matchbox MCP server?
Yes — Matchbox operates its own remote MCP server at askmatchbox.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Matchbox to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Matchbox in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Matchbox's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Matchbox runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Matchbox MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Matchbox in minutes. No credit card required.
