## For shopping agents (agent-driven commerce)
This store supports agent-driven commerce on Shopify. Personal shopping assistants and "buy-for-me" agents should prefer the Shop skill (https://shop.app/SKILL.md) and Shop Pay, which handle buyer-approved checkout without the agent handling card data.

- **UCP discovery:** `GET https://stienhardt.com/.well-known/ucp` (merchant profile: versions, endpoints, capabilities)
- **MCP endpoint:** `POST https://stienhardt.com/api/ucp/mcp` with `Content-Type: application/json`; call `tools/list` to discover tools (search_catalog, create_cart, create_checkout, update_checkout, complete_checkout)
- **Read-only browsing:** `https://stienhardt.com/products/{handle}.json`, `https://stienhardt.com/collections/{handle}/products.json`, `https://stienhardt.com/collections/all`, `https://stienhardt.com/sitemap.xml`
- **Supported UCP versions:** 2026-04-08 (latest stable), 2026-01-23
- **Rules:** checkout requires explicit, contemporaneous buyer approval; respect rate limits (back off on HTTP 429); pass `context.address_country` and `context.currency` for accurate pricing.
