AirShelf Catalog
ai.airshelf/catalog · 1.0.0
Cross-vendor B2B catalog for AI agents: search, compare, find equivalents, request a quote.
Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.
Where it sits in the directory's order
What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 20 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

Connection test
The MCP handshake, then a request for the tool list, with no key and no data of yours. Run nightly, and by anyone, at most once every ten minutes per server.
It completed the handshake and listed 8 tools.

The tools it lists (8, as of 10 days ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
search_catalogSearch the AirShelf cross-vendor product catalog by natural-language query. The catalog covers industrial-automation, wiring-devices, digital-signage, business-display, mfp, barcode-printer, laser-printer, inkjet-printer, mechanical-keyboards, cybersecurity, threat-intelligence-platform. Industrial-automation and wiring-device rows are indexed by manufacturer part number, so a brand or part number in the query ("Pepperl+Fuchs retroreflective sensor", "IN5409") retrieves more reliably than a bare product type; those rows carry no normalized spec facets, so the `specs` filter does not apply to t
find_productsDiscover candidate products for a buyer need. Takes a need in natural language (e.g. "best value home espresso machine", market "TH"), checks the verified catalog first, then uses live web discovery only when the catalog has no candidates. Returns up to 3 candidates with explicit fit accounting. find_products is the quick candidate-list tool; research_shopping is the full verified-research job. For a specific brand+model, search_catalog is cheaper and returns the same live-lookup block on a miss. Response fields: • candidates[].verification — "catalog-candidate" for a catalog starting point
research_shoppingresearch_shopping is the full verified-research job; find_products is the quick candidate-list tool. It runs as a background job and returns status "running" with a research ID while the minutes-long research continues; the same research ID returns the run on later polls until completion. Unsafe medical, legal, financial-advice, and professional-service asks return status "refused" before any work is queued. Completed runs return a researched recommendation with per-claim source receipts, or an explicit refusal when evidence is insufficient. Missing decision details return clarification questi
get_productGet the full golden record (AirShelf's verified product record) and latest price for one catalog product by slug ("<manufacturer>-<model>"). Returns the product's specs and provenance (which page each fact came from), plus canonical_name (its exact catalog name). A field's evidence_sha256 is the SHA-256 of the source document AirShelf archived when it extracted that claim. A caller holding the same bytes can compare the hash to check that the cited document has not changed. AirShelf does not serve those archived bytes, and the hash does not promise they remain retrievable. Branch on commercia
How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
ai.airshelf/catalog, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
