Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

The open store index for AI agents: merchants list real stock, agents find local food and stores.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shelfsignal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/shelfsignal",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add shelfsignal -- npx -y @reneturcios/shelfsignal mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shelfsignal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/shelfsignal",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "shelfsignal": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/shelfsignal",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is ShelfSignal safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.1) reached the registry 12 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Zendesk

ShelfSignal

The open store index for AI agents.

Local merchants list what they actually sell. AI agents find real food and real products nearby, score how likely each item is actually in stock, and check a validation receipt before they send a human across town. Merchants pay one flat price to get listed. Nobody takes 30% of their food.

DoorDash and the delivery apps built a closed index: they own the customer, scrape or rent the menu, charge the merchant 15-30% per order, and still cannot tell you whether the kitchen has the thing you want. ShelfSignal is the opposite shape:

  • Merchant-owned listing. The store submits its own stuff, its own prices, its own stock. The listing belongs to the merchant, not the platform.
  • Built for agents, not ads. One MCP server any agent can query: find stores, find items, check stock, validate the listing. No sponsored placement, ever.
  • Stock is a scored signal, not a claim. Every item carries a last-confirmed date. The likelihood engine turns that evidence into a 0-100 score with printed reasons, so agents stop bluffing "they have it" and start saying "confirmed today, likely in stock."
  • Validation receipts. Every listing carries checks an agent can verify: complete profile, real prices, fresh inventory, declared fulfillment. Tier: VERIFIED, LISTED, STALE, or INCOMPLETE.
  • Flat money. $100 Starter Store, one time, listed and validated. No per-order commission. See docs/PRICING.md. Merchants can join by email: docs/EMAIL-INTAKE.md.

Quick start

npm install

npm run build npm test

node dist/cli.js coverage node dist/cli.js search "birria" --city "San Francisco" node dist/cli.js stock sf-mission-taqueria-demo "Birria tacos" node dist/cli.js nearby 37.7599 -122.4148 --radius 5 node dist/cli.js ping sf-sunset-bakery-demo "Cardamom knot" in node dist/cli.js validate sf-mission-taqueria-demo node dist/cli.js doctor node dist/cli.js mcp # run the MCP server (stdio) node dist/cli.js serve # run the hosted registry API (http://0.0.0.0:8787)

Hosted registry API

A read-only HTTP API over the same registry, for agents and clients that do not speak MCP:

curl localhost:8787/v1/stores?city=San%20Francisco

curl localhost:8787/v1/stores/sf-mission-taqueria-demo curl "localhost:8787/v1/search?q=birria"

Only listings in the live state are served: listings still in the intake queue are excluded from list and search, and their detail route returns 404. Full reference: docs/API.md.

MCP tools

ToolWhat it does
search_storesFind stores by text, city, category, or type (with open-now signal)
find_nearbyStores near a lat/lng point, nearest first, with distance and open-now
search_itemsFind a food or product across stores, every hit carrying its stock verdict
get_storeFull listing: hours, address, fulfillment, items, stock
check_stockStock-likelihood verdict (score, band, reasons) for one item
validate_storeValidation receipt and tier for one listing
submit_storeValidate a merchant intake and preview its listing + receipt
list_coverageCities, categories, and store count in the index

For merchants

You run a store in the city. For $100 you get listed where the agents look:

  1. Fill the intake (10 minutes): who you are, where you are, your hours, and the stuff you sell with real prices. Template: examples/submission.example.json, field guide: docs/INTAKE.md.
  2. We validate it and your listing goes live with its first receipt.
  3. Update stock whenever it changes with one command or one message. Fresh listings rank as VERIFIED; stale ones decay honestly instead of lying to customers.

No commission. No tablet on your counter. No competing with your own listing.

How it works

  • The registry is the source of truth: registry/stores.json (v0.1, git-backed, every change reviewable).
  • The likelihood engine is deterministic: merchant-reported status, confirmation freshness, staple vs specialty. No model guesses.
  • The management layer is freshness: listings decay, validation re-runs on every read, and merchants see exactly what an agent sees. Roadmap in docs/MANAGEMENT.md.
  • Full design: docs/SPEC.md. Why this beats the delivery model: docs/VS-DOORDASH.md.

Bundled stores are sample data and are flagged demo: true in every response. Real merchants are never marked demo, and demo stores are never presented as real.
