## Description
AI-powered commerce MCP server with 22 tools: shopping cart (TMF663), orders (TMF622), shipment tracking (TMF621), session booking, Uniswap swaps, P2P marketplace, promo pickup, and cryptographic identity (SLH-DSA/ECDSA). No passwords — your wallet IS your account.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "w3ship-mcp-server": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","w3ship-mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "VALKEY_HOST": "",
      "VALKEY_PORT": "",
      "W3SHIP_PUBLIC_KEY": "",
      "UNISWAP_API_KEY": ""
    }
  }
}
```

**Requires environment variables:** `VALKEY_HOST`, `VALKEY_PORT`, `W3SHIP_PUBLIC_KEY`, `UNISWAP_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Documentation & README

# W3Ship Commerce MCP Server

> **Let AI shop for you — with no passwords, no logins, just cryptographic identity.**

W3Ship is the first MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for **AI-powered commerce**. It gives AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot the ability to create shopping carts, place orders, track shipments, book sessions, **swap tokens via Uniswap**, **sell items P2P**, and **distribute promotional items with in-store pickup** — all using cryptographic identity (SLH-DSA / ECDSA) instead of passwords.

Built on TMF Open API standards (TMF663, TMF622, TMF621) for interoperability.

## 🔐 Cryptographic Identity

W3Ship uses **cryptographic identity** — no usernames, no passwords, no accounts. Three identity types are supported:

| Scheme | Key Size | Use Case |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **EVM Address** | 20 bytes (40 hex chars) | MetaMask / any Ethereum wallet |
| **ECDSA (P-256)** | 33 bytes (compressed) / 65 bytes (uncompressed) | Standard web3 wallets |
| **SLH-DSA** | 32 bytes (64 hex chars) | Post-quantum secure identity (Dah.mx) |

Your wallet address or public key IS your cart ID. No sign-up required.

---

## ⚙️ Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| `W3SHIP_PUBLIC_KEY` | No | — | Your wallet address or public key (hex). Set once and all tools use it automatically |
| `UNISWAP_API_KEY` | No | — | Uniswap Trading API key for swap quotes. Get yours at [developers.uniswap.org](https://developers.uniswap.org) |
| `VALKEY_HOST` | No | `localhost` | Redis/Valkey host |
| `VALKEY_PORT` | No | `6379` | Redis/Valkey port |
| `VALKEY_PASSWORD` | No | — | Redis/Valkey password (if auth enabled) |
| `W3SHIP_API_URL` | No | `https://w3ship.com` | Base URL for the W3Ship API (identity, session booking) |

### Getting Your Key

- **MetaMask users**: Just copy your Ethereum address (e.g. `0x1234...abcd`) — it works directly
- **Dah.mx users**: Settings → AI Assistant Setup → Copy key
- **Demo/Testing**: Don't set a key — use `generate_demo_key` in your AI assistant instead

## 🏗️ Architecture

The MCP server is a **thin client** that combines local cart/order storage with centralized W3Ship services:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  AI Client (Claude / Cursor / VS Code)      │
│  "Create a cart and book a fitness session"  │
└──────────────────┬──────────────────────────┘
                   │ stdio (MCP Protocol)
┌──────────────────▼──────────────────────────┐
│  W3Ship MCP Server (your machine)           │
│                                              │
│  Local Storage (Redis/Valkey):               │
│  ┌──────────┐ ┌─────────┐ ┌──────────────┐  │
│  │ Cart     │ │ Orders  │ │ Shipment     │  │
│  │ (TMF663) │ │ (TMF622)│ │ (TMF621)     │  │
│  └──────────┘ └─────────┘ └──────────────┘  │
│                                              │
│  Centralized API (w3ship.com):               │
│  ┌──────────────┐  ┌─────────────────────┐  │
│  │ Booking      │  │ Identity Lookup     │  │
│  │ /api/slots   │  │ /api/identity       │  │
│  └──────────────┘  └─────────────────────┘  │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

- **Commerce** (cart, order, shipment) → stored locally in your Redis
- **Identity** (address lookup) → forwarded to `w3ship.com` API
- **Session Booking** → forwarded to `w3ship.com` API
- **No AWS credentials** needed. No cloud config required.
