alt Hacker News>>MCP Affiliate Shopping Engines
As someone else once said, I want a Grocery Shopping Engine. "Here's my shopping list, taking into consideration delivery times and costs, please buy this for the lowest cost from any combination of supermarkets and deliver by day after tomorrow at the latest."
If MCPs gave the LLMs a window into all the major supermarkets home shopping sites that looks like it's a step closer.

Even better you could tell it "please restrict product choices to countries of origin from within NATO."

And how exactly will they do that?

This requires arithmetics and constraint solving skills that are wildly out of reach to any pure-LLM platform. At the very least you would need interfacing with a real SMT or LP solver to get something that fits the bill.
