README
product-search-mcp-server
An MCP server that exposes the SF Supplies product search (the Typesense-backed
website search API) to an LLM tool loop. It is a sibling of mssql-mcp-server
and uses the same transport/auth/deploy pattern, so the internal chatbot can
bridge both servers at once.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_products |
Runs a search against POST /api/Products/Search/v2. Supports free-text query, attribute filters, category_slug, sorting, and pagination. Returns each product's name, page URL, stock status, and attributes (Brand, Color, Size, Material, …). |
suggest_products |
Fast typeahead/autocomplete (GET /api/Products/query?query=…). Returns matching product names + URLs only — lightweight. Use it to resolve a vague/partial term, then hand the chosen term to search_products. |
list_product_filters |
Returns the facets (filterable attributes and their values + counts) available for a query/category — so the model knows what it can pass to search_products' filters. |
The filters argument maps facet field names to arrays of values, matching the
API's attributeFilter, e.g.:
{"Brand": ["Avery"], "Color": ["Plum"], "Size": ["15\" x 10 Yards"]}
Run locally (stdio — e.g. Claude Desktop)
pipenv install
pipenv run python -m product_search_mcp_server
Run as a shared HTTP service (LAN)
cp .env.deploy.example .env.deploy # set MCP_AUTH_TOKEN (openssl rand -hex 32)
docker compose -f docker-compose.deploy.yml up -d --build
Consumers connect to http://<host>:8001/mcp with header
Authorization: Bearer <MCP_AUTH_TOKEN>. Defaults to port 8001 to avoid
clashing with the MSSQL MCP server on 8000.
examples/chatbot_bridge.py shows the client-side bridge the chatbot uses.
