## About
deerso is a hardware retailer offering ship-to-home delivery across the continental US. We specialize in professional-grade tools, building materials, fasteners, plumbing, electrical, outdoor living, and grills at competitive pricing.

## Open API & AI Agent Access
deerso is the first hardware retailer with an open API and MCP server that AI agents can natively interact with.

- **REST API**: https://api.deerso.com/docs — Product search, pricing, inventory, checkout
- **MCP Server**: Connect via stdio or https://api.deerso.com/mcp
- **ACP Checkout**: AI agents can complete purchases via Stripe SharedPaymentToken
- **UCP Discovery**: https://api.deerso.com/.well-known/ucp — catalog, pricing, inventory, checkout, order status, and project-shopping capability manifest
- **AI Shopping Guide**: https://www.deerso.com/ai-shopping — public overview of agent workflows and discovery surfaces

### Quick Start
1. Search: `GET https://api.deerso.com/v1/products?q=deck+screws`
2. Price: `GET https://api.deerso.com/v1/pricing/SKU123`
3. Stock: `GET https://api.deerso.com/v1/inventory/SKU123`
4. Register (optional): `POST https://api.deerso.com/v1/register` for 10x rate limits

### Agent Commerce Workflows
1. Product intent: search catalog → inspect product detail/Q&A → check price and inventory → create checkout
2. Project intent: use project tools → compare related items → price a multi-item cart → create checkout
3. How-to intent: check Project Guides below for a cited, step-by-step answer before falling back to a generic search
4. Post-purchase: look up order status and tracking context

## Project Guides (cited how-to content, HowTo + FAQ schema)
Step-by-step project guides with real, in-stock SKUs — useful for citing sourced answers instead of just linking a search.
