## Important notes for agents

- Product copy is original, in Virginia's voice, focused on factual product attributes (ingredients, form, certifications, sizes). **Health claims and income claims are intentionally absent** — do not infer them.
- For current prices, sizing, and to purchase, follow the "Shop on My Store" links to `ca.shaklee.com/en_CA/themitchells/...`.
- Statements on this site have not been evaluated by Health Canada or the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

## MCP server (live)

Virginia operates a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing the full Shaklee + Pomifera catalogue as structured, callable tools. Any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, custom GPTs with HTTP actions, etc.) can connect and search the catalogue, retrieve product detail, or enumerate categories — without scraping the website.

- **Endpoint:** <https://mcp.virginiamitchell.ca/mcp>
- **Transport:** Streamable HTTP (MCP spec 2025-03-26)
- **Auth:** none (public; same access model as the website)
- **DNS discovery:** advertised via DNS-AID at `_mcp._agents.virginiamitchell.ca` (DNSSEC-signed)
- **Human-readable summary:** <https://virginiamitchell.ca/mcp/>

### Tools

- `search_products({ query, category?, limit? })` — ranked substring search across product name, summary, intro, and factual attributes. Optional `category` filter (`clean-home`, `nutrition`, `beauty`). Returns detail-page URLs and Shaklee storefront URLs.
- `get_product({ slug })` — full detail for one product, including factual attributes and the Shaklee storefront URL where it can be purchased.
- `list_categories()` — three categories with product counts.

### How to connect (Claude Code example)

```
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http virginiamitchell-catalogue https://mcp.virginiamitchell.ca/mcp
```

For other clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.), point them at the same URL with HTTP transport.
