## About

Salsmart searches branch-level grocery prices in Israel, built from the public price-transparency files that retailers publish. You can look up products by Hebrew or English name, manufacturer or barcode, and check which branches are covered and how fresh their source files are. Results are in ILS and include citation URLs and fetch times.

The hosted endpoint uses Streamable HTTP and needs no sign-in or API key. Both tools are free and read-only. Fair-use limits are 60 requests per minute and 500 per UTC day per network address. Coverage is partial, and prices do not confirm stock.

## What it can do

- Search products by Hebrew or English name, manufacturer or barcode
- Compare branch-level prices in ILS across covered retailers
- Get up to 20 matching products per search with citation URLs
- Check which branches are covered and how fresh their price files are
- See retailer fetch times and price-change dates

## Tools (2)

- `search_products`: Search branch-level grocery prices by Hebrew or English name, manufacturer or barcode; returns up… (read-only)
- `get_data_status`: Return covered branches and the freshness of their retailer price files. (read-only)

## Example prompts

- "Search for Tnuva milk and compare prices across the covered branches."
- "Look up barcode 7290000111186 and show the branch prices."
- "How many branches are covered, and which price sources are stale?"
- "Find the price of hummus in Hebrew and cite the sources."

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http salsmart https://salsmart.com/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **salsmart** should show as connected.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Salsmart** and paste this URL:

```url
https://salsmart.com/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Salsmart&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fsalsmart.com%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://salsmart.com/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.

2. Enter a name for the server.

3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://salsmart.com/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.

4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.

Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=salsmart&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3NhbHNtYXJ0LmNvbS9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salsmart": {
      "url": "https://salsmart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=salsmart&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fsalsmart.com%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"salsmart","type":"http","url":"https://salsmart.com/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "salsmart": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://salsmart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salsmart": {
      "serverUrl": "https://salsmart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add salsmart --url https://salsmart.com/mcp
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.salsmart]
url = "https://salsmart.com/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http salsmart https://salsmart.com/mcp
```

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "salsmart": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://salsmart.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://salsmart.com/mcp`.
