Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Manufacturer Finder tool:
- Describe your current product category and primary manufacturing country
- Ask: "Use manufacturer-finder to find manufacturers of [product category] in [alternative countries]"
- Claude returns manufacturer profiles across the target geographies
- Ask Claude to assess which alternatives have the most comparable capabilities and what the key trade-offs are
Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Manufacturer Finder tool
I currently manufacture plastic consumer goods in China. Use manufacturer-finder to find alternative suppliers of the same category in Mexico, Poland, and India. Compare their capabilities and MOQs, and tell me which region offers the most viable backup option and what I would need to validate before switching.
Tips
- Search two or three alternative regions in one session so you can compare across geographies directly
- Ask Claude to flag the key differences in lead time, certification landscape, and typical MOQ by country
- Focus the conversation on what you need to validate before a switch, not just which alternatives exist
