No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ebid_categories for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Browse the eBid.net marketplace category tree (eBid Trading API GetCategoryList): category IDs, names, full paths and per-category item counts for an eBid country site. Pass a parent category_id to list its subcategories, or omit it for the root categories. Use the returned CategoryID to filter ebid_search.

Parameters
