Israel Grocery MCP

Features

• Price comparison — see side-by-side pricing for any product or full recipe

• Smart recipe shopping — parse any recipe, find the best deals across stores, and add items to the cheapest cart automatically

• Split-cart recommendations — buy each ingredient from wherever it's cheapest and see your total savings

• Preference system — set a preferred store, shopping strategy (cheapest / preferred / quality), organic preference, brand blacklisting, and more
