File contents

Salai MCP Skill

Use Salai's remote MCP server for Israeli grocery discovery, comparison, and cart workflows.

Access requirements

Salai MCP is currently in beta.
Users must register to the beta program and be approved.
Only approved beta users can generate an API key from Salai Profile and use MCP tools.
Registration: go to https://app.salai.co.il, create an account (Sign up), and wait for beta approval.
Beta access contact: beta@salai.co.il

Connection

Endpoint: https://mcp.salai.co.il/mcp
Auth: send a user API key from Salai Profile using either:
- Authorization: Bearer <SALAI_API_KEY>
- X-API-Key: <SALAI_API_KEY>

Use the full /mcp endpoint directly for best client compatibility.

Tools

Discovery:
- get_stores
- get_retailers
Search:
- autocomplete_products
- search_products
Pricing and comparison:
- get_product_prices
- compare_prices
- cart_of_israel
Cart management:
- get_cart
- get_my_cart
- update_cart_items
- add_cart_item
- remove_cart_item
- delete_cart
Recommendations:
- get_complementary_recommendations

Recommended workflow

Resolve products quickly with autocomplete_products (method: text first, then semantic if empty).
Use search_products for richer semantic results and recommendations.
Build/modify the active user cart with get_my_cart, add_cart_item, update_cart_items, and remove_cart_item.
Compare total cost across retailers with compare_prices.
Use cart_of_israel for one-shot comparison of the default Cart of Israel list.

Store scope conventions

When filtering by store, prefer retailerId + storeId.

subChainId may be accepted by some tools for backward compatibility, but is deprecated for store identity.

Error handling

If access is denied, instruct the user to complete beta signup and wait for approval.
If an auth error occurs, request a valid Salai API key and retry.
If a product is not found in one store, continue comparison with available alternatives.
For ambiguous product names, call autocomplete_products before cart mutations.

Security

Never log or expose API keys in output.
Treat all API keys as secrets.
