> AI-powered grocery shopping for India — a [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for the [Milkbasket](https://www.milkbasket.com/) API.

Connect your AI assistant (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or any MCP client) to your Milkbasket account and let it handle your daily groceries — log in with OTP, browse products, build your cart, check your wallet, and review your full order summary, all through natural language.

**What you can do with this:**
- Ask your AI to find products — "Search for low-fat milk under ₹50"
- Build and manage your cart — "Add 2 Amul butter, remove the lassi"
- Check your order before delivery — "Show me my cart with the full bill"
- Keep track of your wallet — "What's my Milkbasket balance?"
- Fetch account details — "What city and hub am I assigned to?"

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18 or higher
- A Milkbasket account (Indian mobile number)
- An MCP client (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc.)

    "milkbasket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anujsup/milkbasket-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 2: Global install

```bash
npm install -g @anujsup/milkbasket-mcp
```

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "milkbasket": {
      "command": "milkbasket-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Option 3: Local install

```bash
npm install @anujsup/milkbasket-mcp
```

}
```

## Cursor setup

Add the config to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project root (project-level) or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global):

### Products

## Authentication Flow

```
1. auth_request_otp  →  { phone: "9XXXXXXXXX" }
2. Receive OTP via SMS
3. auth_verify_otp   →  { phone: "9XXXXXXXXX", otp: "XXXX" }
4. You are now logged in
```

## Security & Privacy

**This server runs 100% locally on your machine.** Your phone number, OTP, and tokens never leave your device — they are never sent to any third party, including the AI assistant. Here's exactly what happens:

- Your phone number is sent **directly** from your machine to Milkbasket's servers to request an OTP
- The OTP you share with the AI is passed **directly** from your machine to Milkbasket to verify login
- The AI model only sees the response (success/failure) — it cannot intercept or store your credentials
- Access tokens are stored in your **OS keychain** (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, Linux Secret Service) using `keytar` — the same secure storage used by apps like VS Code and 1Password
- If `keytar` is unavailable, an **AES-256-GCM encrypted file** is used as fallback
- You can log out at any time using `auth_logout`, which clears all stored tokens immediately

## Cart Flow

```
search_products  →  find productId and price
add_to_cart      →  { productId, price, quantity }
remove_from_cart →  { productId, price, quantity: 0 }  ← set 0 to delete
get_extended_basket  →  full checkout view
```

## What you can ask your AI

Once connected, just talk to your AI naturally:

| What you say | What happens |
|---|---|
| "Log me in to Milkbasket" | Sends OTP → verifies → stores token |
| "Search for paneer" | Calls `search_products` and returns matches |
| "Add 2 Amul Gold milk to my cart" | Calls `add_to_cart` with the right product |
| "Remove the lassi from my cart" | Calls `remove_from_cart` with quantity 0 |
| "Show me my cart with full bill" | Calls `get_extended_basket` with itemized bill |
| "What is my wallet balance?" | Calls `get_wallet_balance` |
| "What are my account details?" | Calls `get_user_details` — name, city, hub, membership |
| "What deals are on today?" | Calls `list_products` for flash deals |
| "Log me out" | Clears tokens from keychain |

## Example usage in Cursor

```
Search for Amul milk products
→ search_products({ query: "amul milk" })

Add 2 units to cart
→ add_to_cart({ productId: 1234, price: 28, quantity: 2 })

View full cart with bill breakdown (product names, discounts, delivery fee, GST, payable)
→ get_extended_basket()

Reduce quantity by 1
→ remove_from_cart({ productId: 1234, price: 28, quantity: 1 })

Remove product entirely
→ remove_from_cart({ productId: 1234, price: 28, quantity: 0 })

Check wallet balance
→ get_wallet_balance()

Get account info
→ get_user_details()
```

TDQS

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 16 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Tools are mostly distinct, with clear separation between auth, catalog, cart, and flash deal operations. The main potential confusion is between get_basket and get_extended_basket, and between add_to_cart and add_flash_deal_to_cart, but detailed descriptions explicitly differentiate them.

Naming Consistency4/5

Tool names follow a readable snake_case convention, but mix prefixes: 'get_' for retrievals, 'auth_' for authentication, and action verbs like list_, search_, add_, remove_. This is predictable within each functional area, though not a single uniform verb_noun pattern across all tools.

Tool Count4/5

16 tools is slightly above the typical 3-15 well-scoped range, but appropriate for the breadth of features: authentication, catalog browsing, cart management, wallet, and flash deals. Each tool serves a clear purpose without excessive redundancy.

Completeness4/5

The core shopping lifecycle is well covered: browse/search products, view cart (light and detailed), add/remove items, and handle flash deals. Authentication and wallet access are also included. Minor gaps exist, such as no explicit 'update quantity' tool and no checkout flow, but these are workable via existing tools or are out of scope.
