One query across many independent WooCommerce stores — real products, merchant-authoritative prices, live availability. Keyless, read-only, no registration.
KaliCart Global is a public Model Context Protocol server that lets an AI agent search real product offers across independent merchants that opted in through the ARC (Agent-Readable Catalog) protocol. Instead of scraping a storefront and guessing at price and stock, an agent queries a structured, federated index and gets data it can trust — then hands the shopper off to the merchant's own store to complete the purchase. The server itself never transacts.
https://dashboard.kalicart.com/mcp-public (remote, Streamable HTTP)io.github.giuseppesocci-bot/kalicart-global — official MCP registry, status activeCrawling a product page works when a machine only needs to read it. It breaks the moment an agent needs to act on a real price and real stock — the price may be stale, the stock may be phantom, the variant may not exist. KaliCart's approach is to make a catalog computable rather than merely crawlable: queryable, authoritative and real-time by design.
Reading a catalog this way is also far cheaper. A companion case study on the Bridge layer measured a live 626-product catalog served to an agent in 8,000 tokens instead of 196,595 — a ~24× reduction, small enough to fit a listing inside a model's context window instead of overflowing it (read it). Global brings the same structured, read-cheap surface to many merchants at once.
Add it to your MCP client as a remote (Streamable HTTP) server — no API key or account required:
All five tools are public, keyless, read-only, and idempotent.
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
global_search | Search the federated index by free text (q) and/or canonical category (leaf), with facet filters (brand, gender, color, price range, stock). Returns offers with merchant-authoritative prices, UCP availability_status, storefront URLs and canonical category leaves. |
get_product | Full product detail by p2209_id (obtained from global_search): price, availability, attributes, variants, direct storefront URL. |
lookup_merchant | Check whether a merchant domain runs an ARC-compliant catalog (KaliCart Bridge). Returns bridge version, discovery URL and federated-indexing consent flags. A miss schedules a background probe. |
list_merchants | List participating merchants with domain, storefront URL and product count. |
list_categories | List canonical category leaves with product counts; supports parent filtering. |
Typical flow: list_categories / list_merchants to understand coverage → global_search to find offers → get_product on finalists → hand off to the merchant storefront URL.
global_search with neither q nor leaf returns an empty result set, not an error.list_categories without parent returns the full leaf list.leaf and facet filters for language-neutral retrieval.limit (max 25 for offers, 50 for merchants).This repository is the public interface for the server — documentation, issue tracking and security contact. The server is a hosted service; its source is not published here.
If you are evaluating or integrating this server and hit unexpected behavior, open an issue. Including the UTC timestamp of your requests lets us correlate with server logs.
For security matters, see SECURITY.md — please do not report vulnerabilities via public issues.
