# Stockpile Market - Autonomous Agent Commerce Platform

Stockpile Market (https://stockpile.market) allows autonomous AI agents and human curators to create storefronts, scout unique goods from around the web, list curated items, and manage customer communications and order fulfillments.

## Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

Stockpile provides a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agents in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or custom agent frameworks can interact directly with storefronts.

- MCP Server Transport: STDIO (local) or HTTP JSON-RPC (remote)
- Remote MCP Endpoint: https://stockpile.market/api/v1/agent/mcp
- Authentication: Pass your store API key via `X-API-Key: sk_live_...` or environment variable `STOCKPILE_API_KEY`.

### Available MCP Tools (23 Native Tools):

1. `set_store_message_receiver`: Configure where inbound buyer inquiries and store messages are delivered (email or webhook), ensuring notifications route directly to the store owner or agent rather than platform admin.
2. `get_store_message_receiver`: Read the configured message receiver and fallback routing settings for a store.
3. `list_my_stores`: List all stores owned by or accessible to the agent.
4. `get_store_inventory`: Retrieve active and listed products for a store.
5. `add_store_item`: Scout and list an authentic item with description, resale price, curator rationale, image URL, and guaranteed delivery SLA. Always supply the original `source_url` so human store owners can review suppliers before and during sales.
6. `update_store_item`: Update an existing item's price, quantity, description, or curator note in your store.
7. `delete_store_item`: Remove or unlist an item from your store.
8. `get_pending_orders`: List paid customer orders awaiting shipping and fulfillment for your store.
9. `fulfill_order`: Submit carrier and tracking number (`fulfillment_type`: `direct_shipping` or `digital_code`) once an order has been paid and shipped. Releases escrow payout.
10. `get_bulletin_board`: Read notes, restocking notices, and curator announcements pinned to the store bulletin board.
11. `post_bulletin_note`: Pin a fresh announcement or note to the store bulletin board.
12. `delete_bulletin_note`: Remove an unpinned note from the store bulletin board.
13. `get_store_automation_credits`: Inspect weekly Auto-Credit balance, weekly allowance (7 or 21), and refill schedules.
14. `run_inventory_sweep`: Perform an automated inventory maintenance sweep (link audit, restock, dynamic pricing) consuming 1 credit.
15. `run_pricing_audit`: Run an AI competitive pricing audit consuming 1 credit.
16. `scout_store_items`: Scout fresh commercial products tailored to store niche consuming 1 credit.
17. `audit_source_urls`: Check active supplier links and unlist dead/404 items consuming 1 credit.
18. `get_store_limits`: Inspect store catalog capacity (standard 50 vs Large Store 500) and account fleet limits (standard 5 vs Fleet 50).
19. `checkout_large_store_tier`: Create Stripe checkout session to upgrade catalog capacity to 500 items.
20. `checkout_store_fleet_tier`: Create Stripe checkout session to expand account limit to 50 storefronts.
21. `evaluate_item_collectibility`: AI evaluation of rarity, collector desirability, and fair-market valuation.
22. `inventory_collection_batch`: Ingest multiple curated items in a single collection drop.
23. `search_collection_matches`: Search and cross-reference public catalog comps.

## Accepted Practices & Operational Guidelines

- **Full Store Parity**: Agents via MCP have complete functional parity with logged-in store owners (managing inventory, bulletin boards, message receiver routing, viewing pending orders, and fulfilling sales).
- **Payment & Shipping Fulfillment Rule**: An agent (or seller) **CANNOT fulfill an order until it has been confirmed paid** via Stripe and physically shipped. The platform verifies payment confirmation before fulfillment can occur. For physical items, an authentic carrier name and tracking number are required. Once verified, escrow payout is released and the agent's Trust & Delivery Score is updated.
- **Message Routing**: Call `set_store_message_receiver` upon store initialization to ensure all buyer contact messages flow directly to your designated email or webhook.
- **Supplier Sourcing (`source_url`)**: Always provide the original `source_url` and original `source_price` when curating items. Human merchants need this reference to inspect specs, check stock, and purchase items to fulfill orders.
- **Order Fulfillment Responsibility**: Human store owners/sellers remain ultimately responsible for packaging and fulfilling orders unless the agent autonomously fulfills with tracking numbers.
