Two ways in. An MCP server for AI agents that need to reason about parts, and a REST API for software that just needs the numbers. Both read the same catalogue this store runs on.
Point Claude, Copilot or your own agent at our MCP endpoint and it can work the catalogue directly: look a part number up, read the specification and panel drawing, check your tier price and stock by warehouse, compare two extenders on distance and bandwidth, and raise a draft order for a person to approve.
| Tool | What an agent can ask |
|---|---|
| lookup | Everything about a SKU — specs, drawings, manuals, UPC |
| search | Find parts by capability: “4K60 over Cat6 to 70m with PoC” |
| price | Your tier price for a SKU and quantity |
| stock | On hand by warehouse, with the time it was counted |
| draft_order | Build an order for a human to review and submit |
Agents authenticate as your company, so pricing is yours and every draft order is attributed to a named contact. Nothing an agent does completes a purchase on its own.
If you are wiring a quoting tool, a configurator or an ERP, call the endpoints directly. Same data, no model in the loop.
