salai-mcp

What This Skill Does

The salai-mcp skill integrates OpenClaw with the Salai platform, providing a specialized interface for Israeli grocery shopping. It acts as an intelligent assistant capable of querying real-time product pricing, comparing costs across various retailers, and managing a digital grocery cart. By leveraging the Salai MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint, the agent can perform advanced operations like semantic product searches, autocomplete, and cross-retailer inventory validation, ensuring that users find the best deals available in their local area.

Installation

To integrate this functionality into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/idoziv/salai-mcp

Ensure you have an active Salai account and have received beta access approval. You will need to obtain your API key from the Salai profile settings to authenticate the connection.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for power users who want to automate their grocery shopping routine. Common use cases include:

• Cost Optimization: Automatically comparing the total price of a full shopping list across different supermarket chains in Israel.
• Inventory Management: Building a weekly shopping cart based on specific product preferences and updating items dynamically.
• Smart Discovery: Finding alternative brands or complementary products that may be on sale at specific retailers.
• Rapid Search: Utilizing the autocomplete feature to quickly identify exact product SKUs for more accurate price tracking.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the cheapest place to buy a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, and a bag of coffee based on my current list."
2. "Add 2 bags of jasmine rice to my Salai cart and then tell me which store offers the lowest total for my entire cart."
3. "Show me the store list for Rami Levy and tell me if they have any discounts on laundry detergent right now."

Tips & Limitations

• Beta Status: The Salai MCP is currently in beta; ensure you are on the approved list to avoid authentication failures. If you receive an error, verify your API key status at app.salai.co.il.
• Store Scoping: Always prefer using retailerId + storeId for precise location filtering. subChainId is deprecated and may lead to inconsistent data.
• Ambiguity: If the agent struggles to find a product, use the autocomplete_products tool first to ensure the product name matches the retailer's catalog terminology.
• Privacy: Never share your Salai API key in public chat logs or plaintext files. Treat it with the same level of security as a password.
