## Features

- Generate product schema markup for SEO
- Calculate discounts and pricing
- Generate common Shopify components like cart drawers
- Access code snippets and references for e-commerce development

## Quick Start

You can run ecomTools using npx without installing:

```bash
npx -y @mayurgodhani/ecomtools-cli@latest start
```

This will start the ecomTools MCP server that can be used with compatible AI assistants.

## MCP Configuration

If you're using an IDE or environment that supports Model Context Protocol (MCP), you can add the following configuration to your `mcp.json` file:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ecomtools-cli": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mayurgodhani/ecomtools-cli@latest start"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

This configuration allows your IDE to automatically start the ecomTools MCP server when needed.

## Installation

If you prefer to install globally:

```bash
npm install -g @mayurgodhani/ecomtools-cli
```

Then run it with:

```bash
ecomtools start
```

## Usage with AI Assistants

ecomTools is designed to work with AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once the server is running, your AI assistant can leverage it for e-commerce development tasks.

My product name is Premium Coffee Maker, description is High-quality automatic coffee maker with timer, price is $149.99. Currency I am selling in is USD. The product image is at https://example.com/images/coffee-maker.jpg. Generate product schema using ecomTools.

  "description": "High-quality automatic coffee maker with timer",
  "image": "https://example.com/images/coffee-maker.jpg",
  "offers": {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "price": 149.99,
    "priceCurrency": "USD"
  }
}
</script>
```

### 3. Find Code Snippets

**Example:**
```
Find code snippets related to "product card" using ecomTools.
```

**Result:**
```
# Shopify Product Card

A responsive product card component for displaying products in collections with image, title, price, and add to cart button.

```

### 4. Generate Code

```

**Result:**
```
# Generated Shopify cart-drawer Code

Based on your requirements: cart drawer component for mobile view

<!-- Cart Drawer HTML -->
<div id="cart-drawer" class="cart-drawer">
  ...
</div>
```

## Extending

ecomTools is designed to be extensible. You can add your own code snippets to the `data` directory.

### Adding Code Snippets

Create a new text file in the `data` directory with the following format:

```
Title: Your Code Snippet Title
Description: A brief description of what this code does
Code:
// Your actual code here
```

The file name should reflect the type of snippet (e.g., `cart-drawer.txt`).
