Troubleshooting
โถThe MCP server isn't connecting
- Confirm the URL is exactly: https://imgpt.indiamart.com/mcp
- Check your internet connection and try again.
- Some corporate firewalls block external API calls โ try from a personal network.
- Try the test command below to verify the server is reachable.
Test connectivity (run in terminal)
curl -s -X POST https://imgpt.indiamart.com/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","clientInfo":{"name":"test"}},"id":1}'โถNo results are returned for my search
- Try a broader query โ e.g., 'cotton fabric' instead of 'organic cotton voile fabric 60gsm'.
- Remove city or brand filters to widen the search.
- Check that IndiaMART lists this product category โ some niche items may not be indexed.
- Try rephrasing: 'Show me suppliers of X' rather than 'Find X product'.
โถProduct images aren't loading
- This can happen in restrictive browser environments. Try refreshing the widget.
- If you're on a restricted network, image CDN domains may be blocked.
- In Claude Desktop, widget rendering is sandboxed โ images load via a secure proxy and may take a moment.
โถThe widget UI doesn't appear (plain text only)
- Interactive widgets are supported in ChatGPT (web) and Claude (web + desktop).
- In VS Code or other generic MCP clients, results appear as text โ this is expected behavior.
- In Claude, make sure the integration is enabled for the current conversation (click the tools icon).
โถResults look wrong or unrelated to my query
- IndiaMART is India's B2B marketplace โ results are products and suppliers, not consumer retail.
- If you're searching in Hindi or another Indian language, the tool will auto-translate โ try English for best results.
- Check for typos in product names or brand names.
โถThe tool was working but stopped after a while
- MCP sessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. Re-enable the integration or start a new conversation.
- In Claude Desktop, restart the app if the tool disappears from the tools list.
- Check if your AI client has an integration health status page.
