Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Voila Sdk Tools (13)
voila_check_session_health
Check whether the configured Voila session is active, retryable, expired, or guest-only.
voila_get_active_shopping_context
Read the active Voila delivery and cart context. Preferred first step for order planning before product discovery because availability and pricing are session and slot-context sensitive.
voila_get_slot_listings
List available Voila delivery slots for an explicit delivery destination and region. Preferred first step for order planning; this is read-only and does not reserve a slot.
voila_reserve_slot
Reserve a caller-selected Voila delivery slot. This is a mutation and should only be called after a latest slot listing and explicit user confirmation.
voila_search_products
Search Voila products by text query for the current session context. Product availability and pricing are session and slot-context sensitive, so prefer checking slots first when planning an order.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Voila Sdk is categorized under E-Commerce and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Patchistry MCP Server belongs to E-Commerce using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Voila Sdk when you need capabilities focused on e-commerce and Patchistry MCP Server when you require tools for e-commerce.
