SnappShop MCP Server

# 🛒 SnappShop MCP Server

A high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SnappShop. This project allows LLMs (like Claude) to search for products, fetch detailed specifications, and browse categories from SnappShop in real-time.

🌟 Key Features

• Dual-Runtime Architecture:

  • Python Server: For local development and power users.

  • ArvanCloud Edge: A serverless, Iranian-edge implementation for global users and zero-latency access.

• API-Driven: Replaced unreliable HTML scraping with a direct integration of the apix.snappshop.ir JSON API.

• Strict Normalization: Ensures identical data shapes between Python and JavaScript runtimes.

• Currency Safety: Explicitly handles the Toman/Rial (1:10) conversion to prevent pricing errors.

🚀 Quick Test (Live Demo)

You can test the MCP protocol implementation directly via the ArvanCloud Edge deployment: 👉 Live Endpoint: https://snappshop.dr98mav-hhdrz.arvanedge.ir

Test it in your browser:

• List Tools: https://snappshop.dr98mav-hhdrz.arvanedge.ir/tools

• Note: The /call endpoint requires a JSON POST request to execute tools.

📖 What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI models to connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of the AI just "guessing" or using old training data, an MCP server gives the AI real-time capabilities.

How it works with SnappShop:

1. Claude realizes you want to find a product on SnappShop.

2. Claude sends a request to the MCP server: "Call search_products with query='Samsung Galaxy'".

3. The Server fetches live data from the API, normalizes it, and sends it back.

4. Claude reads the live data and gives you an accurate answer with real prices and links.

🛠️ Deployment & Configuration

1. Local Python Server

Best for users with a local Python environment.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py

2. ArvanCloud Edge (Production)

Deploy worker/src/arvan_edge_mcp.js to ArvanCloud Edge. This is the recommended way for global users as it handles the Iranian network egress automatically.

⚙️ Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (usually located at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows).

Option A: Using Local Python (Direct)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snappshop-local": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:/path/to/snappshop-mcp/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Option B: Using the ArvanCloud Edge (via Inspector Bridge)

Since Claude Desktop expects a local process, we use the MCP Inspector to tunnel the remote Edge server into Claude.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "snappshop-edge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector",
        "https://snappshop.dr98mav-hhdrz.arvanedge.ir"
      ]
    }
  }
}
