As a SWE at Rewe (at a completely different department), I can say that I find this pretty cool. I wonder if this is going to be a wakeup to management to relax the API restrictions.
- wazHFsRy 6mo agoI mean, definitely leads to me buying more stuff on Rewe than before.
- kleiba 6mo ago...or to tighten them.
- rvz 6mo agoYou should tell them to charge for the API.
- aweiher 6mo agoPlease pitch internally for an official Rewe MCP server. This is the future of doing groceries. Let us login with our credentials and let us do the search/filling the cart with agents. Totally fine to do the payment only on the web, so everyone can be sure they only order what was wished, and not 300 avocados.
- atollk 6mo agoThat's a good idea and actually was my first thought too. I sent a chat message so the product owner in charge is aware of the interest in something like it. I think a big issue here is the lack of standard - there is no established way of where an MCP server should be hosted so that agents are easily able to find it. Right now, the best solution I could think of would be to serve it at something like rewe.de/shop/mcp and you'd manually have to register it with your agent.
- wazHFsRy 6mo agoNice thank you. If something came out of this that would be amazing. I am not the biggest fan of mcp, as they are a waste of tokens though. I shot you a message on LinkedIn as well, was wondering if this caused some discussion internally at Rewe because it was immediately blocked.
- atollk 6mo agoI agree, regarding MCP. But also, it's the best thing we currently have, as far as I know. If you're aware of a better alternative, let me know.
