# Target MCP Server Integration - Complete! ✅
## What Was Built
Successfully integrated Target.com support into your existing Amazon MCP server, creating a unified **Shopping MCP Server**.
### New Files Created:
1. **`src/target-config.ts`** - Target configuration and cookie loading
2. **`src/target-utils.ts`** - Puppeteer utilities for Target.com
3. **`src/target-orders.ts`** - Target order history scraper with API interception
4. **`targetCookies.example.json`** - Template for Target cookies
5. **`README-SHOPPING.md`** - Updated documentation
### Modified Files:
1. **`package.json`** - Renamed to "mcp-server-shopping"
2. **`src/index.ts`** - Added `get-target-orders-history` tool
3. Build scripts updated for Windows compatibility
## How Target Integration Works
### The Smart Approach: API Interception
Instead of scraping HTML like Amazon, the Target implementation:
1. **Launches Puppeteer browser** with your Target cookies
2. **Navigates to** `https://www.target.com/orders`
3. **Intercepts the API response** from Target's internal API (`guest_order_aggregations/v1/order_history`)
4. **Extracts clean JSON data** directly - no HTML parsing needed!
5. **Supports pagination** - automatically fetches all pages
### Data Structure Retrieved:
```typescript
{
orderNumber: "912002895833290",
orderDate: "2025-10-14T14:26:16-05:00",
total: "58.78",
orderType: "Sales",
items: [
{
tcin: "78099947", // Target product ID
description: "Unsalted Roasted Mixed Nuts...",
quantity: 1,
fulfillmentType: "ShipToHome",
fulfillmentMethod: "SCHEDULED_DELIVERY",
status: "STAT_SHOPPER_CLAIMED",
statusDate: "2025-10-14T14:31:48-05:00",
isReturnable: false,
isCancellable: false
}
]
}
```
## Next Steps to Use It
### 1. Export Target Cookies
```bash
# 1. Go to target.com and log in
# 2. Open Cookie-Editor extension
# 3. Click "Export" → "Export as JSON"
# 4. Save to: targetCookies.json
```
### 2. Update Claude Desktop Config
Edit: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"shopping": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\source\\repos\\mcp-server-shopping\\build\\index.js"
]
}
}
}
```
### 3. Restart Claude Desktop
Completely close and reopen (check system tray).
### 4. Try It!
Ask Claude:
- "Show me my Target order history"
- "What did I buy from Target recently?"
- "Compare my Amazon and Target orders from this month"
## Available Tools Now
### Amazon Tools (Existing):
- `get-orders-history` - With year filtering and return status
- `get-cart-content` - View cart
- `add-to-cart` - Add items
- `clear-cart` - Clear cart
- `search-products` - Search
- `get-product-details` - Product info
### Target Tools (New!):
- `get-target-orders-history` - Get all orders with full details ✅
## Technical Highlights
1. **Clean API Integration** - No HTML parsing, direct JSON from Target's APIs
2. **Automatic Pagination** - Fetches all pages automatically
3. **Rich Data** - Includes fulfillment status, return eligibility, delivery tracking
4. **Unified Server** - One MCP server for both Amazon and Target
5. **Windows Compatible** - Fixed all path and build issues
## Why This Approach is Better
**Target vs Amazon Implementation:**
| Feature | Amazon | Target |
|---------|--------|--------|
| Method | HTML Scraping | API Interception |
| Data Quality | Parse HTML | Direct JSON |
| Reliability | Fragile if HTML changes | More stable |
| Speed | Slower (HTML parsing) | Faster (JSON) |
| Data Richness | Limited by HTML | Full API data |
The Target implementation is actually **cleaner and more reliable** than the Amazon one!
## Future Enhancements
Easy to add:
- 🔜 Target product search (intercept search API)
- 🔜 Target cart management
- 🔜 Order tracking details
- 🔜 Filter by date range
- 🔜 Filter by status
All would follow the same API interception pattern!
## Status: READY TO TEST! 🎉
The server is built and ready. Just need to:
1. Export your Target cookies
2. Update Claude config
3. Restart Claude
4. Ask about your Target orders!
