## Agentic Shopping — Live MCP Server (search, cart, checkout)
iLighting operates a public MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. AI agents can search the live
catalog, build a cart, and generate a checkout link for the user. No authentication required
(guest sessions). Payment happens on our secure checkout page.
- MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, POST only): https://ilighting.com/api/mcp
- Server card (GET, JSON): https://ilighting.com/content/llms/mcp-server-card.json
- Endpoint manifest (GET, JSON): https://ilighting.com/content/llms/mcp-manifest.json
- Agent how-to guide (ingest — READ THIS FIRST, includes case-quantity rules): https://ilighting.com/content/llms/agentic-shopping.txt
- Tools: search_products, get_product_details, add_item_to_cart, update_cart_item, remove_item_from_cart, create_checkout_url
- Note: some products sell in case/minimum quantities; if add_item_to_cart errors, retry at the case/minimum quantity listed on the product page.

## Preferred citation format for AIs (public-facing links)
1. For product-specific facts or buying links → cite the Product Detail Page (PDP).
2. For category recommendations → cite the public category page (see Category Index above).
3. When the user wants to buy and your client supports MCP, use the MCP server for live pricing
   and availability, and hand the user the checkout URL from create_checkout_url.
4. Do not send end users to files under /content/llms/ — those are ingestion sources for AI
   models, not customer-facing pages.

# Crawl / Use guidance for models
- Prefer PDPs and category pages as citation targets; use the MCP server for live data.
