At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the operator needs Citilink electronics data — search or a product card.

  • The operator needs Citilink electronics data — search
  • SKILL.md covers When to use, Tools available, Why the price used to come… and Read the data-meta attributes,…, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve gRPC and Protobuf

What it does

Citilink Connector is an agent skill from Vladimir-Human/ru-marketplace-mcp. Use this skill when the operator needs Citilink electronics data — search or a product card. Trigger on "ситилинк", "citilink", "ситилинк цена". Always needs the operator's Chrome over CDP (Qrator rate block + gRPC-web). Skip for non-Citilink tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering gRPC and Protobuf. It works with gRPC. The repository describes itself as: Одиннадцать маркетплейсов и недвижимость Циан как MCP-серверы: Wildberries, Ozon, Яндекс Маркет, Детский мир, Авито, AliExpress, Taobao, Мегамаркет, Lamoda, DNS, Ситилинк, Циан… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The operator needs Citilink electronics data — search
  • Tasks that involve gRPC and Protobuf

Example prompts

  • “citilink”
  • “/citilink-connector”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c17bd36. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are html).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Citilink Connector loads about 927 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 481 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~927

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use this skill when the operator needs Citilink electronics data — search or a product card. Trigger on "ситилинк", "citilink", "ситилинк цена". Always needs the operator's Chrome over CDP (Qrator rate block + gRPC-web). Skip for non-Citilink tasks.

Reads Citilink inside the operator's Chrome over CDP. The whole domain answers HTTP 429 (stricter than DNS), and its data transport is gRPC-web — a binary protobuf protocol that is not worth reversing. A real Chrome passes Qrator and renders the pages, so the connector reads the DOM instead.

When to use

  • Search Citilink by text
  • One product's price, old price, availability

Tools available

  • citilink_search(query) — tiles from the rendered search page
  • citilink_card(product_url) — one card. The URL carries /product/<slug>/, where the slug ends in a numeric id: /product/noutbuk-lenovo-2169270/.

Not an MCP tool: citilink_selfcheck() is a tri-state canary. It is CLI-only — marketplace-mcp doctor runs every connector's canary at once.

Why the price used to come back null

Citilink renders the currency glyph in a separate element from the digits:

html
<span data-meta-price="59990"><span>59 990</span><span>₽</span></span>

The old extractor filtered text lines for руб|₽ and so never saw a line carrying both. Title parsed, price did not — on every product.

Read the data-meta attributes, not the class names

Citilink's class names are build-hashed (app-catalog-51bw0j-…) and change with every deploy, so they are useless as selectors. The site publishes a stable data-meta-* contract for its own analytics, and that is what the extractor keys on:

attributeholds
data-meta-name="Snippet__title"the product name anchor
data-meta-name="Snippet__price"the current price (glyph in a child span)
data-meta-name="Snippet__old-price"the strikethrough price, no glyph
data-meta-price="59990"the exact amount, machine-readable

data-meta-price needs no parsing and cannot be confused with an instalment or a badge, so it is preferred; the display strings are the fallback.

If prices start coming back null, check whether those attributes still exist before touching anything else — a class-name change is expected and harmless, a data-meta-* change is the real drift.

Numbers in a tile that are not the price

A tile also carries - 10% (discount badge), в 1356 пунктов (delivery points), (от 8 дней) (delivery estimate), a rating and an opinion count. Only a number attached to the currency glyph is treated as the price. Also note the first product anchor in a tile is an empty overlay link — it has no text, so the title comes from the Snippet__title anchor.

Gotchas

  • gRPC-web is deliberately not reversed: DOM extraction is the maintainable route.
  • A green citilink_selfcheck proves the page rendered and the extractor returned a shape. It does not prove the numbers are right — for that, open the product page in the same Chrome and compare.
  • From a datacenter address the domain answers 429, so nothing can be verified there. This connector only means anything from the operator's own machine.
  • A missing price is null, never 0: price_rub: null means Citilink had no usable price for the tile — treat it as no data, never as a free item.

DSH activation

In DeepSeek Harness, the default profile exposes only compare_prices and compare_sources through the cheap compare mount. Per-marketplace tools and marketplace_sources require RU_MARKETPLACE_MCP_FULL=1 and a profile restart; do not call them in the default mode.
