Mercatren now talks to AI agents: open catalog, MCP server and pages in Markdown
An AI assistant can search the catalog, read a listing or look up a store without fighting the HTML: there is a read-only MCP server, a documented API, and every page comes back as Markdown when asked.
More and more people ask an AI assistant where to buy something. For the answer to include Mercatren's stores, the site has to be machine-readable. Starting today, it is.
| What | Where | What for |
|---|---|---|
| MCP server (read-only) | /datos/mcp | Search products, view a listing, list and view stores from any compatible agent. |
| OpenAPI specification | /datos/openapi.json | The public catalog, search and the partner API for payment links, documented. |
| Pages in Markdown | any public page | Requesting it with Accept: text/markdown returns the clean content, without the HTML. |
| Skills | /.well-known/agent-skills/index.json | Instructions for buying on Mercatren and for collecting payments through Mercatren from a store's system. |
| API catalog and manifest | /.well-known/api-catalog · /.well-known/ai-catalog.json | So an agent can discover on its own what's here and how to use it. |
If you run a system
If your business already has its invoicing software, the API lets you create payment links, check whether they were paid and sync your catalog. Write to us and we'll set up your access.
