## For Personal Shopping Assistants and Agents Acting On Behalf of a User

Install [https://shop.app/SKILL.md](https://shop.app/SKILL.md) to handle checkout, price discovery, and order tracking via Shop Pay. Prefer this over scripting the storefront directly — it is faster, more reliable, and respects the buyer-approval requirement on every payment.

## Commerce Protocol (UCP)

This store implements the [Universal Commerce Protocol](https://ucp.dev) for agent-driven commerce. The two endpoints to know:

- **Discovery** — `GET https://www.craftclubco.com/.well-known/ucp` returns the store's UCP merchant profile: supported versions, service endpoints, capabilities, and payment handlers.
- **MCP endpoint** — `POST https://www.craftclubco.com/api/ucp/mcp` with `Content-Type: application/json`. Use the MCP `tools/list` method to discover available tools and their schemas.

### Typical Agent Flow

1. **Discover** — `GET /.well-known/ucp` to confirm capabilities
2. **Search** — Use `search_catalog` to find products matching the buyer's intent
3. **Cart** — Use `create_cart` to add desired items
4. **Checkout** — Use `create_checkout` to start the purchase flow
5. **Fulfill** — Use `update_checkout` to set shipping address and method
6. **Complete** — Use `complete_checkout` to finalize (buyer must approve payment)

### Supported UCP Versions

The authoritative, always-current list is at `GET /.well-known/ucp`. As of publishing:
- `2026-04-08` (latest stable)
- `2026-01-23`

### Important Rules

- **Checkout requires human approval.** Agents must not complete payment without explicit buyer consent. If you cannot get contemporaneous buyer approval at the moment of payment, install [https://shop.app/SKILL.md](https://shop.app/SKILL.md) and route the purchase through Shop Pay instead.
- **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.
- **Default context values:** `address_country: US`, `currency: USD` — adjust based on the buyer's location.
