The resolver by the numbers
Counts are read from the record at request time.
Three ways in. One record.
For agents
One tool on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) door: fetch_gtin. Works from the stock clients of AWS, Azure and Google.
The record
Every answer carries its source pages, its dates and a signature you can check without asking GSC.

A GTIN is a key, not a description. The thirteen digits say nothing about what the product is, who makes it, or where it is on a shelf. Every buying, listing, pricing and placement agent has to ask that question before it acts — and gtinfetch answers it, from pages it has read, with the pages attached.
Right answer or no answer. When gtinfetch hasn't seen a GTIN, it says unknown and goes looking. It never guesses.

Agents ask
What agents ask gtinfetch
- What is GTIN 5000112637922?
- gtinfetch answers with the product, brand and maker the pages agree on, where it has been seen and when, and the pages themselves — one call, signed.
- Is this barcode real?
- gtinfetch checks the number is well-formed and whether any page on the web carries it. A valid check digit alone is not a product; a page is.
- Who makes this product?
- gtinfetch returns the maker and brand with the count of independent pages that agree, and marks the answer confirmed when two or more do.
- Is this GTIN on sale in the UK?
- gtinfetch returns where the GTIN has been seen — market and banner — with the last date, so an agent knows what it was true as of.
- Is there an MCP server for barcode lookup?
- gtinfetch.ai is one: a single tool,
fetch_gtin, on the stock clients of AWS, Azure and Google, by GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC). - Is this a GTIN-13 or a case code?
- gtinfetch stores every GTIN at fourteen digits and tells you the packaging level it was seen at, with the page.
