shauntrennery · x · 2026-08-10
Our Town, a South African marketplace for handmade goods, now supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing AI assistants like Claude to browse and purchase items on behalf of users. Users can ask for hand-thrown dinner sets, leather weekenders, or braai gifts under R500, all from verified local makers priced in rand. When ready to buy, the assistant directs users to the maker's checkout for direct payment.
