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: [e-mail]

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

1. Resolve products quickly with autocomplete_products (method: text first, then semantic if empty).
2. Use search_products for richer semantic results and recommendations.
3. Build/modify the active user cart with get_my_cart, add_cart_item, update_cart_items, and remove_cart_item.
4. Compare total cost across retailers with compare_prices.
5. 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.
