ShopSavvy

Resolves product identity across multiple identifier formats (barcode/UPC, ASIN, product URL) by normalizing input and querying a unified product database that maps these identifiers to canonical product records. Implements identifier-agnostic search that abstracts away retailer-specific product ID schemes, enabling developers to query products regardless of which identifier format they have available.

Fetches enriched product metadata including title, description, category, brand, specifications, images, and ratings from ShopSavvy's aggregated product database. Uses a structured schema to normalize heterogeneous product data from multiple retailers into a consistent output format, enabling downstream AI systems to reason over standardized product attributes without retailer-specific parsing.

Queries pricing data across thousands of retailers for a given product, returning current prices, availability status, and seller information. Implements a distributed price-fetching architecture that queries multiple retailer APIs in parallel and normalizes pricing into a common format, enabling real-time price comparison without requiring separate integrations for each retailer.

Maintains and retrieves historical price records for products across time, enabling trend analysis and price volatility assessment. Stores timestamped price snapshots from multiple retailers and exposes query APIs to retrieve price history, calculate price changes, and identify seasonal patterns. Developers can use this to detect price drops, predict future prices, or alert users to favorable buying windows.

Exposes ShopSavvy product and pricing capabilities as MCP tools with JSON Schema definitions, enabling Claude and other MCP-compatible AI systems to automatically discover and invoke product lookup, metadata retrieval, and price comparison functions. Implements standard MCP tool protocol with input validation, error handling, and structured response formatting, allowing AI agents to seamlessly integrate shopping capabilities without custom API client code.

Provides full-text search across product catalogs with support for filtering by category, brand, price range, and other attributes. Implements an inverted-index search backend that tokenizes product titles and descriptions, ranks results by relevance, and applies faceted filters to narrow results. Enables developers to build search interfaces that let users discover products through keyword queries combined with structured filters.

Queries current inventory status and availability information across retailers for a given product, returning stock levels, seller information, and fulfillment options (e.g., Prime, same-day delivery). Aggregates availability data from multiple retailer APIs and normalizes fulfillment metadata into a common schema, enabling AI systems to recommend products based on delivery speed and stock availability.

Identifies and surfaces active promotions, discounts, and deals for products by comparing current prices against historical baselines and detecting significant price reductions. Analyzes price history to calculate discount percentages and flags products with exceptional deals, enabling AI systems to highlight bargains and alert users to limited-time offers.

Generates product recommendations by analyzing shopping context (viewed products, cart contents, search history) and finding similar or complementary items from ShopSavvy's catalog. Uses collaborative filtering and content-based similarity metrics to rank recommendations by relevance, enabling AI shopping assistants to suggest products that match user intent and preferences.

Provides APIs to export product and pricing data in bulk formats (JSON, CSV) and supports client-side caching of frequently accessed product records to reduce API calls. Implements cache invalidation strategies and versioning to ensure data freshness while minimizing network overhead. Enables developers to build offline-capable shopping experiences and reduce latency for repeated product lookups.
