## Description
Routes natural-language shopping queries to merchant storefronts, returns normalized results.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "biznetai": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","biznetai"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# BizNetAI MCP Server

A hosted [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that routes
natural-language shopping queries to live, independent merchant storefronts and
returns normalized product and merchant results — built for AI agents and shopping
assistants that need real-time commerce data without integrating each merchant
individually.

This repository documents the **hosted service** — there is nothing to install or
run locally. Point your MCP client at the endpoint below with an API key and start
calling tools.

## Merchant Coverage

18,000+ live merchants and growing, across the US and Canada.

Current focus verticals:

`skincare` · `haircare` · `cosmetics` · `personal_care` · `sports_active_wear` · `clothing` · `accessories` · `fine_jewelry` · `fashion_jewelry` · `specialty_food` · `gourmet_food` · `food_and_beverage` · `home_decor` · `home_furnishings` · `candles_fragrance` · `wellness` · `luxury` · `electronics` · `consumer_goods` · `pet` · `baby_kids`

Use `list_categories` for the authoritative, up-to-date list at query time — new verticals are added periodically.

Use `find_merchants` for live merchant coverage — also updated periodically.

## Endpoint

| | |
|---|---|
| **URL** | `https://biznetaimcp.consumergenie.net/mcp` |
| **Transport** | `streamable-http` |
| **Auth** | Required — `Authorization: Bearer <api_key>` on every request |

The server is stateless per request — there is no session handshake to perform first.

---

## Getting an API Key

Access is self-serve:

1. Submit a request with your email, name, and a short description of your use case:
   ```bash
   curl -X POST https://api.merchant.registration.consumergenie.net/api/developer-keys \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"email": "you@example.com", "name": "Your Name", "reason": "Building an AI shopping assistant"}'
   ```
2. Once approved, you'll receive an email with your key (`bnai_live_...`). It's shown
   once and never stored in plaintext anywhere — if you lose it, request a new one.

Each key has its own rate limit (default 60 requests/minute). Exceeding it returns
`429` with a `Retry-After` header; a missing, invalid, or revoked key returns `401`.

## Connecting

### MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.)

Most clients speak stdio, so bridge through
[`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote), passing your key as a header:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biznetai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://biznetaimcp.consumergenie.net/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization:Bearer ${BIZNETAI_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

### Raw HTTP

```bash
BASE_URL="https://biznetaimcp.consumergenie.net/mcp"
API_KEY="bnai_live_..."

curl -X POST "$BASE_URL" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"list_categories","arguments":{}}}'
```

## Tools


### `list_categories`
Return the full BizNetAI merchant category vocabulary. Useful for understanding what
kinds of merchants are available before querying.


### `find_merchants`
Find live merchants matching a query — useful when you want merchant identity before
doing a custom product lookup.

```
query    str   required   Natural language search query
country  str   required   ISO country code (e.g. US, CA)
limit    int   0          Max merchants to return (0 = all live matches)
```


### `list_product_varieties`
List the product varieties available for a country, with how many results each has.
`find_products` always resolves your query to one of these, so this is useful for
discovering what specific product searches are likely to succeed — and how many
results to expect — before calling it.

```
country  str   required   ISO country code (e.g. US, CA)
```

Returns a list of variety objects:
```json
{
  "variety": "wireless headphones",
  "product_count": 50
}
```

Varieties are country-specific — the same product type can exist under a
differently-worded variety, or not at all, in a different country.


### `find_products`
Search for products by matching your query to one of BizNetAI's curated product
varieties (e.g. `"wireless headphones"`, `"vitamin c serum"`) and returning that
variety's already-ranked top results. Call `list_product_varieties` first if you
want to see upfront what's available for a country before searching.

```
query    str   required   Natural language product search query
country  str   required   ISO country code (e.g. US, CA)
limit    int   0          Page size (0 = server default)
offset   int   0          Results to skip, for paging beyond the first page
```

Results are capped by how many products the matched variety has (usually around 50,
sometimes fewer for a niche search) — `offset`/`limit` beyond that returns whatever's
left, not an error. A query that doesn't match any known variety returns `[]`.

Returns a list of normalized product objects:
```json
{
  "title": "Vitamin C Brightening Serum",
  "description": "...",
  "price_min": 24.60,
  "price_max": 24.60,
  "currency": "USD",
  "available": true,
  "url": "https://merchant.com/products/vitamin-c-serum",
  "image_url": "https://cdn.shopify.com/...",
  "store_domain": "merchant.com",
  "mcp_endpoint": "https://merchant.com/api/mcp",
  "merchant_position": 0,
  "relevance_score": 0.79
}
```

`available` reflects whether at least one product variant was in stock as of the last
catalog refresh (boolean only — exact stock counts aren't available from all merchant
backends). `relevance_score` is a similarity score (higher is more relevant) — there's
no cutoff applied, so you can use it yourself to judge what's a good enough match for
your use case.
