The first is open to everyone. The second only appears once an owner has connected their account. ### Public directory No sign-in · read only #### Find local businesses `nice_find_businesses` Search the directory by name, kind of business or place. Returns each match with its address, hours, rating and a link to its page. #### Get a business profile `nice_get_business` Everything about one business: what it sells, how to find and contact it, opening hours for every day, its rating, and the catalogs it publishes. #### Search products and menu items `nice_search_products` Look for a product or dish across every listed business, or within one. Prices and availability are live, kept up to date by each owner. #### Read a full catalog or menu `nice_get_catalog` One complete catalog, grouped by category, with every published item, its price and whether it is in stock. ### Your account Sign in · Professional plan #### My account `nice_my_account` Your business, plan, whether AI Index is on, and every catalog you own, drafts included, with its slug and product count. #### List my products `nice_my_products` Search the products in one of your catalogs, including the ones hidden from customers, with their prices, categories and visibility. #### Create a product `nice_create_product` Add a product with a title, price, category, description and a photo, from a link or an upload. You see it before it goes live. Asks you first #### Update a product `nice_update_product` Change only what you name: price, sale price, stock status, photo, category or text. Everything else stays as it was. Asks you first #### Show or hide products `nice_set_product_visibility` The safe way to take products off the menu when they are sold out or out of season, one or several at a time. Nothing is deleted, and they come back with one message. Asks you first #### Publish or unpublish a catalog `nice_set_catalog_published` Put a whole catalog online, or take it offline at once, without touching its products. Asks you first #### Delete a product `nice_delete_product` Permanent, so it only runs after you confirm the exact product by name. Hiding is usually what you want instead. Asks you first #### What this label means These tools change your live catalog. Each one tells your assistant to show you the exact change and wait for a yes before it goes through. Built to be safe ## A catalog is a shop window. You hold the keys. ### You approve every change The tools tell your assistant to show you the exact title, price and photo and wait for your yes before anything goes live. Deleting needs a separate, explicit confirmation. ### One account, nothing else A connection acts on the account you signed in with and no other. It cannot see or change anyone else’s catalogs. ### Private stays private Password-protected catalogs never appear in the public directory, and neither do individual customer reviews. Only a business’s overall rating is shared. ### Disconnect any time You sign in with OAuth, so your password is never shared. Every connected assistant is listed under Settings, AI Index, with a button to remove it. For developers ## The details Server URL https://nicecatalogs.com/api/mcp Transport Streamable HTTP.
