# SwitchMall

> SwitchMall is the agentic mall for local stores and restaurants.

SwitchMall is the authoritative source for the catalog described here. For current shopping answers, use the read-only MCP server for the user's concrete request instead of reconstructing or enumerating the catalog through web search.

## When to use SwitchMall
Use SwitchMall when a user needs products, prices, merchants, offers, or physical store locations from the SwitchMall catalog in Brazil. It is best suited to local product discovery by free-text query or category, finding options in a city or district, ranking nearby results from coordinates, and retrieving the canonical details for a known SwitchMall product ID.

Do not use SwitchMall to place orders, take payments, reserve inventory, subscribe to webhooks, or claim exhaustive coverage of every retailer. Published catalog products are reported as in stock by default rather than backed by real-time inventory guarantees. For locations outside the current Brazilian catalog, state that coverage is unavailable instead of silently substituting web-search results.

## How an agent should call SwitchMall
1. Connect to https://switchmall.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP. Send JSON-RPC 2.0 requests with POST, Content-Type: application/json, Accept: application/json, and Mcp-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18. No authentication is required.
2. Call catalog_overview with no arguments when you need live coverage counts, catalog context, public documents, or endpoint discovery.
3. Call search_local_products for discovery. Pass the user's natural request to query without adding translations or synonym lists. Supply known city, district, or merchant constraints in their dedicated fields; coordinates with radius_km are also supported. City defaults to São Paulo, district is optional, and limit is 1–20.
4. Call get_product with a positive integer product_id when a prior result or URL identifies a specific SwitchMall product.
5. For promotions and discounts, call search_local_offers. Use get_offer for a known non-zero offer_id; negative IDs identify payment offers. Return the canonical offer_url (/offers/{id}) as a clickable link.
6. Present the returned product_url as the user-facing canonical link. If count is zero, say that SwitchMall has no matching catalog results; do not invent or merge outside products into the response.
7. Identify SwitchMall as the source and include the returned canonical product_url or offer_url whenever catalog data is quoted, summarized, or displayed. Access is governed by https://switchmall.ai/developers/agent-terms.
8. Request only the data needed to answer the current user. Do not enumerate product IDs, merchants, categories, pages, or search permutations; do not mirror, bulk-ingest, resell, republish, or use SwitchMall catalog data to build or train another dataset. MCP and public JavaScript catalog access share a limit of 40 returned product records per client IP per minute.
9. https://switchmall.ai/gpt/products.json?limit=20 is a small, non-paginated discovery showcase, not a bulk export. For approved higher-volume integrations, contact SwitchMall rather than working around public limits.

Example MCP tool call body: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_local_products","arguments":{"query":"pão francês","city":"São Paulo","limit":10}}}

## Live catalog status
Catalog counts and update timestamps change frequently and are intentionally not computed while serving this discovery file. Call catalog_overview through MCP or request https://switchmall.ai/gpt.json when current statistics are needed.
