Custom Blinds Shop MCP
South Africa's first AI-transactable window covering catalogue. Lets MCP-compatible AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cowork, Cursor) search the Custom Blinds catalogue, get live ZAR pricing, configure made-to-measure blinds, and take a customer all the way from product discovery to a Yoco or Ozow payment link — direct from shop.customblinds.co.za. The full purchase flow is open and needs no credentials.
What it does
This is the transactional node of a two-node system. The shop MCP handles search, pricing, configuration, cart, checkout and payment. Product education and design advice live on the brochure MCP at customblinds.co.za. An agent can start cold on the brochure for guidance, then hand off to this shop MCP to complete the order.
The full UCP purchase flow is open (no authentication): search the catalogue, get exact VAT-included ZAR pricing, configure a blind, build a cart, create a checkout, and mint a Yoco or Ozow payment link without any credentials. Twenty-seven tools are exposed.
| Tool group | Access | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue and pricing | Open | search_catalog, lookup_catalog, get_product, get_product_recommendation, get_price, configure_product, check_colour_stock |
| Cart and checkout | Open | create_cart, get_cart, update_cart, cancel_cart, create_checkout, get_checkout, update_checkout, complete_checkout, cancel_checkout |
| Orders and fulfilment | Open | get_order, get_payment_methods, get_delivery_estimate, request_swatch, request_price_match |
| Tools and handoff | Open | get_ar_visualizer_url, get_whatsapp_handoff |
| Legacy (optional) | Bearer token | submit_enquiry, create_order — only needed for an email follow-up or a single-call order path; the open checkout flow above is preferred |
Payment is by Yoco (card) or Ozow (instant EFT). All prices are in ZAR with VAT included. Legacy bearer tokens are issued on request — contact sales@customblinds.co.za.
