### Description (declared)

# au-shopping-mcp

MCP server for shopping at Australian online stores: product search, full product detail,
category browsing and price comparison across 26 sites, from Bunnings, JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks and
Costco to Chemist Warehouse and Supercheap Auto, plus `staticice` (an Australian price-comparison
site) and `aliexpress` (the one global marketplace). One process can serve every site
(`SITES=all`) or a chosen few (`SITES=bunnings,costco`); tools get the site's prefix
(`bunnings_search_products`, …), so tool names are the same however the sites are grouped.

It is polite by design: per-site rate limits and caching, public pages only, and member logins
only through a real browser window you sign in to yourself (`au-shopping-mcp login <site>`).
Retailers change their pages; when an adapter breaks, `<site>_probe_page` shows what moved.
Check each retailer's terms before relying on it.

## Install

```bash
uvx au-shopping-mcp --stdio                 # or: pip install au-shopping-mcp
uvx --from au-shopping-mcp playwright install chromium   # only for sites that need the browser tier
```

## Tools (per site)

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `<site>_search_products` | Keyword search → shortlist (name, brand, price, rating, id, URL), paginated |
| `<site>_get_product` | Full detail for one item by id or URL, incl. specs and site-specific extras |
| `<site>_browse_category` | Products in a category path/URL, same shape as search |
| `<site>_list_categories` | Category names and paths |
| `<site>_fetch_page` | Escape hatch: readable text + links (or raw HTML) for any page on the site |
| `<site>_probe_page` | Diagnostic: which structured-data sources a page exposes |
| `<site>_site_status` | Fetch tier, last block, request/cache counters, config |

URL-taking tools (`get_product`, `browse_category`, `…
