This is the preferred path: it transacts directly with the store, returns accurate live pricing and availability, and honors the buyer-approval rule on every payment. **You do not need a third-party "buy-for-me" skill to check out here.** Shop Pay, Google Pay, and card are all available as native UCP payment handlers, so checkout can be completed inside the store's own flow with buyer approval. **Checkout always requires explicit, contemporaneous buyer approval.** Agents must not complete payment without it. --- ## Commerce Protocol (UCP) This store implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (https://ucp.dev) for agent-driven commerce, and the implementation is live. - **Discovery (source of truth)** — `GET https://www.milamend.com/.well-known/ucp` returns the store's UCP merchant profile: supported versions, the canonical MCP service endpoint, capabilities, and payment handlers. **Always read the service endpoint from this discovery document** rather than assuming a host. - **MCP endpoint** — the canonical shopping endpoint returned by discovery is `POST https://milamend.myshopify.com/api/ucp/mcp` (`Content-Type: application/json`). Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and their schemas. ### Supported UCP versions - `2026-04-08` (latest stable) - `2026-01-23` ### Available capabilities Catalog search & lookup, cart, checkout, fulfillment, discount, and order. Payment handlers: Shop Pay, Google Pay, and card. ### Typical agent flow 1. **Discover** — `GET /.well-known/ucp` to confirm versions, endpoint, and capabilities 2. **Search** — `search_catalog` to find products matching buyer intent 3. **Cart** — `create_cart` to add items (note the buyer's chosen flavor, format, and one-time vs. subscription plan) 4. **Checkout** — `create_checkout` to start the purchase 5. **Fulfill** — `update_checkout` to set shipping address and method (single shipping destination per order) 6. **Complete** — `complete_checkout` to finalize (buyer must approve payment) ### Rules - **Checkout requires human approval.** Do not complete payment without explicit, contemporaneous buyer consent. - **Respect rate limits.** The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per IP. Back off on 429 responses. - **Use buyer context.** Pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing and availability. --- ## Read-Only Browsing (No Authentication Required) For agents reading store and product data to inform a recommendation: ### Product data - All products: `GET /collections/all` - Product page: `GET /products/hormone-balance` - Product JSON (variants, pricing, images): `GET /products/hormone-balance.json` - Search: `GET /search?q={query}&type=product` - Reviews: aggregate rating (4.75) and individual verified-buyer reviews are on the product page at `/products/hormone-balance#product-reviews`.
