Ametller Origen — Claude Desktop shopping extension

Shop your Ametller Origen online groceries by talking to Claude. The extension drives your own authenticated Ametller Origen session: it browses the catalog, reads your purchase history, and adds, changes, or removes items in your real cart so you and Claude fill it together.

You stay in control of payment. There is no checkout or payment tool, by design — Claude fills the cart and you review and pay on the Ametller Origen site, where Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) happens. Sign in once through a browser window (handling any 2FA); the session is stored locally on your machine and never leaves it.

It installs as a Claude Desktop extension (described by manifest.json) — load it unpacked via developer mode (see Install; the packed .mcpb doesn't install reliably). It can also run as a plain local MCP server.

How it works

The /ca/online store is a headless Salesforce Commerce Cloud (PWA Kit) storefront, so the extension talks to the documented SCAPI shopper APIs, authenticated with a SLAS token.

• Auth — a headed browser login (playwright-core driving your installed Chrome) lets you sign in; the extension captures the registered SLAS token (access + refresh + customer id) straight from the /oauth2/token response and saves it to ~/.ametller/session.json. Access tokens last ~30 min and are refreshed silently from the refresh token, so you only sign in about every ~90 days.

• Catalog — shopper-search (product search) and shopper-products (product detail).

• Cart — shopper-baskets (your real basket: add / set quantity / remove). Every mutation returns the updated basket, so there are no redundant round-trips.

• Orders — shopper-customers order history, used by reorder / "buy again".

Tools

All tools are prefixed with ametller_ so they never collide with another grocery extension's tools (e.g. a Mercadona one) when both are installed in Claude Desktop at the same time.

No checkout / pay tool — ever.

Deferred: a "my regulars" suggestion and delivery-slot lookup. Ametller fulfils via Instaleap, so slots live in a separate system, not SCAPI — to be added after recon.

Install

Install it unpacked (developer mode). This is the recommended and reliable path — the packed .mcpb does not currently install cleanly in Claude Desktop, so use the unpacked folder below.

As an unpacked Claude Desktop extension (recommended)

Load this folder directly. The build output (dist/) and runtime dependency (node_modules/playwright-core) are git-ignored, so after cloning you must produce them first:

npm install        # installs playwright-core into node_modules/
npm run build      # writes dist/server.mjs (inlines the shopping guide)

The folder then contains everything an unpacked extension needs:

manifest.json
icon.png
dist/server.mjs
node_modules/playwright-core

In Claude Desktop: Settings → Extensions → Advanced settings → "Install unpacked extension…", then select this folder (the one containing manifest.json). It loads as the "Ametller Origen" extension; run the ametller_login tool once, then try "show me milk options" (expect a photo-grid artifact) and "add 2 to my cart".

Requirements: Node ≥ 18 on your PATH and Google Chrome installed (the ametller_login tool opens it). Rebuild (npm run build) after changing anything under src/, then reload the extension.

As a local MCP server

If you don't want a Claude Desktop extension at all, run it as a plain MCP server:

npm install && npm run build
node dist/server.mjs

Point any MCP client at node /path/to/dist/server.mjs (set AMETLLER_BROWSER_CHANNEL=chrome).

As a packed Claude Desktop extension (.mcpb)

⚠️ Not currently recommended — Claude Desktop does not install the packed bundle reliably. Use the unpacked path above instead. Kept here for completeness.

npm run pack       # builds dist/, then packs ametller-origen.mcpb via @anthropic-ai/mcpb

Then open the resulting .mcpb with Claude Desktop. (The bundle includes dist/ and the production node_modules, i.e. playwright-core.)

Development

npm install
npm run spike      # guest read + basket round-trip against the live API (no login)
npm run login      # headed browser login -> ~/.ametller/session.json
npm run whoami     # verify the registered session (cart + orders)
npm run build      # esbuild bundle -> dist/server.mjs (inlines the shopping guide)
npm run test:mcp   # drive the built server over MCP, incl. a real cart round-trip
npm run icon       # regenerate the placeholder icon (icon.png)
npm run pack       # build -> ametller-unpacked/ + ametller-origen.mcpb + zip

Layout:

src/
  server.mjs          MCP server (the 12 tools)
  ametller/api.mjs    SCAPI client + compact mappers
  auth/slas.mjs       SLAS: guest PKCE token, refresh, JWT status
  auth/login.mjs      headed-browser token harvest
  auth/store.mjs      load the saved session
  shopping-guide.md   shopping playbook (bundled into the server)
scripts/              spike / login / whoami / test-mcp / make-icon / pack

Privacy

The session token lives only in ~/.ametller/session.json on your machine. The packaged bundle contains only the server, icon, manifest, and playwright-core — no credentials. All API calls go directly from your Mac to Salesforce Commerce.
