## π― Overview
**MCP Collector** serves as an open-standard gateway between external AI agents and commercial operators. Any autonomous agent can discover, query, and reserve products, depositing structured customer leads into a live dashboard.

## π How AI Shopping Agents Discover MCP Collector
1. π **Universal LLM Standard (`/llms.txt` & `/llms-full.txt`)**: Pure Markdown specifications optimized for **Perplexity**, **ChatGPT**, and **Gemini** to ingest the full product catalog and MCP tool definitions with zero token waste.
2. π€ **AI-Optimized `robots.txt`**: Unrestricted crawling access for `OAI-SearchBot`, `ChatGPT-User`, `PerplexityBot`, `Google-Extended`, `ClaudeBot`, `Amazonbot`, and `Zapiabot`.
3. π·οΈ **Schema.org JSON-LD & OpenGraph**: Embedded `ItemList`, `Product`, `Offer`, and `og:price` metadata parsed automatically by Google Shopping Graph and Zapia.
4. π **HTTP `Link` Discovery Headers**: Every HTTP response automatically broadcasts:
```http
Link: </mcp/sse>; rel="mcp-server", </.well-known/mcp.json>; rel="mcp-manifest"
X-MCP-Version: 1.2.0
```
5. π **Smithery & OpenAPI Integration**: Pre-configured [`smithery.yaml`](./smithery.yaml) and `/openapi.json` for one-click discovery on Smithery.ai and ChatGPT Custom Actions.

## π The E-Commerce Honeypot & Gamusinos Strategy
| SKU | Product Name | Category | Normal Price | Promo Price | Stock Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `gpu-h100-sxm5` | NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB GPU Server (4x Cluster) | AI Hardware | $74,500 | **$48,425** *(35% OFF)* | 1 unit (EU Warehouse) |
| `macbook-m4-max-custom` | Apple MacBook Pro 16" M4 Max (128GB, 8TB) | Developer Workstations | $7,199 | **$5,399** *(25% OFF)* | 2 units remaining |
| `enterprise-cloud-credits-100k` | Google Cloud & Anthropic API Credits ($100k) | Cloud Credits | $100,000 | **$50,000** *(50% OFF)* | 1 grant available |
| `gamusino-cuantico-v2` | Gamusino CuΓ‘ntico Bio-SintΓ©tico (Neural Edition) | Bio-Quantum AI | $45,000 | **$19,990** *(55% OFF)* | 1 nocturnal specimen |
| `kit-caza-gamusinos-pro` | Kit Profesional de Caza de Gamusinos con LiDAR | Field Equipment | $3,500 | **$1,850** *(47% OFF)* | 5 kits available |
### How Lead Capture Works:
1. **Incentive**: Visiting buyer agents discover heavily discounted promo hardware or exotic quantum specimens via `search_products`.
2. **Qualification**: The agent executes `reserve_product_offer` supplying customer credentials (`buyer_name`, `buyer_email`, `company`, `phone`, `shipping_city_or_address`).
3. **Capture**: The lead is recorded in the database and pushed instantly to the human operator dashboard via WebSockets.
4. **Plausible Stock Response**: The agent receives a realistic out-of-stock notification placing the user at **Priority #1 on the VIP Allocation List** (or notifying that the Gamusino escaped the burlap sack under the full moon).
