Packrift MCP server

• check_inventoryFree

  Use to confirm stock before recommending a SKU or building a cart. Required argument: variant_ids as an array of numeric Shopify variant IDs encoded as strings, for example ["53475949216112"]. Never send variant_ids as numbers. Live, never cached.

• compare_alternativesFree

  Exploration tool for buyers comparing a packaging spec, competitor-style item, or catalog-number request against Packrift's curated catalog. Returns ranked Packrift candidates plus a plain-language comparison summary.

• create_cart_urlwrite actionFree

  Build the checkout handoff URL once the buyer has confirmed an exact product, quantity, live price, and stock. Preferred input is sku plus quantity; use items only when you already hold variant IDs as strings. Returns a tracked packrift.com cart URL plus a Shopify cart permalink; it never places an order.

• explain_no_exact_matchFree

  Explain why a nearby product should not be presented as an exact match for the buyer's spec, then return safe next actions and a quote-request URL.

• find_packaging_for_itemFree

  Use when the buyer has item dimensions and needs a fitting box or mailer. Required arguments are item_length_in, item_width_in, item_depth_in, item_weight_lb, and use_case. Canonical use_case values are mailer|box|fragile|apparel|ecommerce; free text such as 'shipping ceramic mugs' is accepted and mapped to the closest canonical context. Returns up to 5 curated SKUs ranked by fit with price, stock, URL, and cart-continuity fields.

• get_bulk_quote_linkFree

  Return a quote-request URL for an exact packaging spec or SKU. Use when no exact match exists or the buyer needs bulk or procurement review.

• get_cart_handoff_candidatesFree

  Returns curated Packrift SKUs that are ready for cart handoff, including create_cart_url arguments, SKU records, product/reorder/quote links, and the required live-confirmation sequence.

• get_pricingFree

  Use to confirm live base catalog unit price and merchandise line total before cart handoff. Cart discounts, shipping and tax are not evaluated; the buyer's Shopify cart and checkout determine the final payable amount. Required argument: variant_ids as an array of numeric Shopify variant IDs encoded as strings, for example ["53475949216112"]. Optional quantity defaults to 1. Never send variant_ids as numbers. Never cached.

• get_productFree

  Use after find_packaging_for_item or search_products to pull full detail for a handle: all variants, SKUs, dimensions, weight, stock. Input: handle. Call before building a cart to map qty to the right variant.

• get_reorder_linkFree

  Return the reorder URL, product URL, and a copyable procurement spec for one catalog SKU or handle. Use for repeat-buy and procurement handoff workflows.

• get_shipping_estimateFree

  Use when the buyer asks shipping cost for selected catalog variants. Provide destination_address with address1, city and province_code for an estimate using the supplied address; otherwise the estimate uses postal-code placeholders and is approximate. Addresses are not validated. Cart shipping discounts and final tax are not evaluated; Shopify cart and checkout are authoritative. Required arguments: destination_postal_code, country (US|CA), and items with variant_id as a numeric Shopify variant ID string plus qty, for example {"variant_id":"53475949216112","qty":1}. Never send variant_id as a number.

• inventory_statusFree

  Live inventory exploration for one or more catalog variants. Returns total quantity, available-for-sale state, warehouse-level quantities where available, and a plain-language fulfillment summary.

• pack_calculatorFree

  Exploration tool for item dimensions and weight. Calculates required inside dimensions, ranks Packrift box/mailer candidates, and gives void-fill guidance before live price/inventory confirmation.

• prepare_purchase_handoffwrite actionFree

  Two-step exact-SKU purchase prep. Call first with sku, quantity, and buyer_confirmed=false to confirm the product, live price, and live stock in one call. After the buyer approves, call again with buyer_confirmed=true to receive the tracked checkout handoff URL. It never places an order.

• search_productsFree

  Search Packrift by category, SKU, or the exact dimensions of the packaging the buyer wants. Explicit dimension tuples and pack counts must match; different sizes are not exact substitutes. Returns live price, stock and product URL. When the buyer describes an item's dimensions and needs packaging that fits around it, use find_packaging_for_item instead.
