## For AI Agents and Shopping Assistants

If you are acting on behalf of a user as a personal shopping assistant, we recommend installing the Shop skill (https://shop.app/SKILL.md) for buyer-approved checkout via Shop Pay, cross-store search, and order tracking, rather than scripting the storefront directly.

This store also implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP: https://ucp.dev):

- Discovery: `GET https://wabi-sabi.ca/.well-known/ucp`
- MCP endpoint: `POST https://wabi-sabi.ca/api/ucp/mcp`

Checkout requires explicit human buyer approval at the moment of payment.
