Ukrainian online craft meat store "Steaks of the Carpathians" has launched its own MCP server, which can be connected to ChatGPT and Claude. After that, the AI assistant gets access to the store's current catalog, can select products according to the user's request and leave an order request.
"Steaks of the Carpathians" told dev.ua about this.
The company calls its launch the second publicly announced MCP server in Ukrainian commerce after Silpo.
MCP, or Model Context Protocol, gives AI access to external tools and data. That is, instead of simply telling the user about products based on what the model has seen somewhere before, the AI agent can directly access the store's catalog and get up-to-date information.
The MCP server of "Steaks of the Carpathians" currently has four tools. AI can:
search for products in the catalog and see current prices and availability;
open details of a specific product;
talk about delivery and payment;
leave a request for an order.
For example, a user can write: "pick meat for a romantic dinner for two up to 2700 UAH" or "what's with aged beef?" or "compare ribeyes by price." The agent will refer to the catalog and select available options.
It doesn't come to automatic purchase. The place_order tool only creates an order with a basket, name and phone number. After that, the manager calls the client and confirms the order, delivery and payment. A separate account in the store is not required to work with MCP. The company says that authorization is anonymous, so the server does not receive the user's name or phone number until the user provides them during the order process.
"Previously, such technologies were available only to giants with large specialist departments. Today, even a small, innovative company can do this," said Vasyl Kish, a marketing specialist at Steaks of the Carpathians, commenting on the launch.
