For AI agents

• What: unofficial MCP server (model context protocol) for Okala (okala.com, اُکالا), an Iranian online grocery marketplace where local supermarkets, bakeries, fruit shops and chain stores deliver to an address. Queries work best in Persian; prices are in Toman.
• Install: uvx okala-mcp or claude mcp add okala -- uvx okala-mcp. Transport: stdio. Needs uv (Python 3.10+).
• Auth: none needed. An optional SMS login (ok_login) unlocks Okala's text search in ok_search. Env vars: OKALA_MCP_PROXY (HTTP proxy), OKALA_MCP_TOKEN (access token instead of the saved login), OKALA_MCP_TOKEN_FILE (where the login is saved).
• Access: the 12 shopping tools only read; there is no cart, order, payment or review tool. The 4 login tools act on the user's own login: ok_login sends an SMS to the user's phone, ok_login_verify saves the login, ok_logout deletes it. Ask the user before calling ok_login or ok_logout, never log in unless the user asks, and never ask for or repeat tokens.
• Tools: 16, all prefixed ok_. Every location tool needs lat and lon, so start with ok_locate. Typical sequence: ok_locate → ok_search → ok_compare, or ok_locate → ok_stores → ok_store_products.
• Use when: finding which stores deliver to an address, comparing one product's price and fees across nearby stores, or checking delivery slots, minimum order and today's deals.
• Do not use when: the user wants to order (no cart or checkout), or is outside Okala's delivery areas (Tehran and some other big cities).
• Output: compact JSON, prices in Toman (the API's Rial divided by 10). final_price is what the buyer pays, price is before discount, discount_pct is a whole percent, ratings are 0-5. Pass lat and lon from ok_locate, and store_id from ok_stores, between tools.
• Machine-readable: server.json, and the catalog of all Iranian MCP servers at iran-mcp (TOOLS.md, servers.json, llms.txt).

Why

On Okala every store sets its own price for the same carton of milk, and each one adds its own service and packaging fee and has its own minimum order. The site shows one store at a time, and there is no search box without logging in. An agent with okala-mcp checks every store that delivers to you in one go:

You: Where is Kalleh lactose-free milk cheapest near Yousef Abad, Tehran?

Agent: *calls* ok_locate(address="یوسف آباد") → ok_search(query="شیر بدون لاکتوز کاله", ...) → ok_compare(category_slug="low-fat-milk", ...)

Kalleh fat-free, lactose-free milk (1 L) is sold by 17 open stores nearby. Cheapest: یاران دریان گلریز at

147,875 Toman (12% off 169,000), 1.6 km away, first slot today 08-09, plus 10,500 service and 3,000 packaging.

The dearest store asks 180,000, so you save 32,125.

Real tool output from 2026-10-07; prices change all the time. Prices are in Toman.

Every reply is a compact JSON text block, so it does not flood the agent's context.

What it can do

• Locate an address (Persian) and list the stores that deliver there, with rating, distance, first slot and fees
• Find products near you by name: Okala's own text search after an optional one-time login, otherwise matched to Okala's categories
• Compare the same product across every nearby store, cheapest store first, with each store's fees
• Browse one store: a whole department sorted by price or discount, filtered by name
• Product details: price, discount, stock, max per order, brand, images
• Store details: minimum order, whether it serves your address now, every delivery slot of the day, customer reviews
• Deals: today's deal rows near you or in one store, and the biggest discounts of a store
• No shopping writes by design: no cart, no orders, no reviews posted (the optional login is only used for search)

Example prompts:

• "Which supermarkets near Vanak Square deliver within the hour, and what are their fees?"
• "Cheapest Kalleh full-fat milk near me, and is that store's minimum order a problem for one carton?"
• "What deals does store 11009 have today?"
• "Compare the price of 1 kg of rice across stores near Sadeghiyeh, Tehran."

Quick start

You need uv. No API key or account.

Claude Code

claude mcp add okala -- uvx okala-mcp

Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:

{

"mcpServers": { "okala": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["okala-mcp"] } } }

</details>

Cursor

Click Install in Cursor above, or add the Claude Desktop block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project).

VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

Click Install in VS Code above, or add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{

"servers": { "okala": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["okala-mcp"] } } }

</details>

Codex CLI

codex mcp add okala -- uvx okala-mcp

Or in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.okala]

command = "uvx" args = ["okala-mcp"]

</details>

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "okala": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["okala-mcp"] } } }

</details>

Windsurf

Add the Claude Desktop block to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Anything else

It's a standard stdio MCP server: run uvx okala-mcp, or pip install okala-mcp and run okala-mcp.

Tools

Start with ok_locate: every location tool takes lat and lon from it, and store_id comes from ok_stores.

Where and who delivers (4)

Products and prices (6)

Deals (2)

Optional login (4)

The 12 shopping tools and ok_account are annotated readOnlyHint: true. ok_login, ok_login_verify and ok_logout are not (they send an SMS or change the saved login), so your client asks before running them; ok_logout is also destructiveHint: true. At most 3 login codes are sent per hour.

How it works

  AI agent  (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)

│ │ MCP over stdio ▼ okala-mcp (runs on your machine) │ │ HTTPS └──────▶ apigateway.okala.com the JSON API behind okala.com

okala-mcp runs locally and calls the same endpoints the okala.com website uses, as a guest unless you log in. There's no hosted server in between, no API key, and nothing about you is sent anywhere else (only the delivery point you ask about goes to Okala). Requests go out through a Chrome-impersonating client, at most 2 at a time with a little jitter; a failed GET is retried up to twice.

Good to know

• Prices are in Toman. The API speaks Rial; every tool divides by 10.
