kapruka_check_delivery
Check whether Kapruka can deliver to a given city on a given date, and at what rate. Returns the flat delivery rate (LKR), whether the requested date is available, and — if not — the next available date plus reason. Kapruka delivers as a single shipment per order at one flat rate regardless of item count. Pass `product_id` whenever the customer has named a product: the answer then also checks that ITEM's delivery scope (restaurant food, hotel cakes and liquor only reach selected cities, typically the Colombo area). With a product_id, `available` is true only if the date is open AND the item is deliverable to that city. When `item_deliverable` is false, offer the customer one of the returned `deliverable_cities` or an island-wide alternative — do not attempt kapruka_create_order with the same city, it will be rejected. An unknown product_id is silently ignored (no item fields in the result), so check `item_deliverable` is present before relying on it. Perishable codes (CAKE*, FLOWER*, COMBO*) additionally get a freshness warning when the chosen delivery date is more than 1 day out. Args: params (CheckDeliveryInput): - city (str): Canonical city name (e.g. 'Colombo 03', 'Galle') - delivery_date (Optional[str]): YYYY-MM-DD; defaults to today (LK time) - product_id (Optional[str]): Check the city against this item's delivery scope - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Delivery feasibility + rate in the requested format. JSON schema: { "city": str, "now": str, # ISO timestamp, Sri Lanka time "checked_date": str, # YYYY-MM-DD "available": bool, # date open AND (if product_id) item deliverable "rate": number, # flat LKR rate per order "currency": "LKR", "reason": str | null, # date-block message, else "This item is not delivered to <City>." "next_available_date": str|null, # only for date blocks "item_deliverable": bool, # only when product_id resolved to a real product "deliverable_cities": [str], # only when item_deliverable=false (capped at 60) "perishable_warning": str | null # populated when product_id is perishable }
kapruka_create_order
Create a guest-checkout order on Kapruka and return a click-to-pay link. Builds a Kapruka order from the supplied cart + recipient + delivery + sender, then returns a checkout URL the customer opens in a browser to complete payment. No Kapruka account is required. Prices are locked for the lifetime of the link (60 minutes) — the customer pays exactly the quoted grand total even if the catalog price changes meanwhile. Free public tier limits: 30 orders per hour per client IP. Cart up to 30 items, quantity up to 99 per item. A fresh idempotency key is generated per call so retries on transient errors return the same checkout URL rather than duplicates. Args: params (CreateOrderInput): - cart (list[CartItem]): 1–30 lines. Catalogue line: product_id, quantity (default 1), optional icing_text (cakes only). Custom cake line: custom_cake_request_id + phone — orders the cake Kapruka staff quoted via kapruka_custom_cake_status (status must be 'quoted'; quantity is always 1; never send a price). Lines can be mixed in one order — one delivery fee covers everything; the whole cart must be deliverable to delivery.city. Only place a custom cake order after the customer clearly accepted the quoted total. - recipient (Recipient): name + phone (E.164 +9477… or local 077…) - delivery (Delivery): address, city (must be Kapruka-deliverable — use kapruka_list_delivery_cities), location_type (house/apartment/office/other, default house), date (YYYY-MM-DD, today-or-future Asia/Colombo), optional instructions - sender (Sender): name + anonymous flag - gift_message (Optional[str]): Up to 300 chars - currency (str): LKR (default), USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, EUR - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Order confirmation with checkout URL. JSON schema: { "checkout_url": str, # Open in browser to pay (no login required) "order_ref": str, # e.g. "ORD-20260520-7823" "order_id": str, # id used by the bank-deposit flow "summary": { "items_total": number, "delivery_fee": number, "addons_total": number, "grand_total": number, # items_total + delivery_fee + addons_total "currency": str }, "expires_at": str # ISO 8601 — link stops working after this } Error: "Error (<code>): <message>" on failure. Common codes: empty_cart, missing_field, past_delivery_date, product_not_found, product_out_of_stock, city_not_deliverable (city not in the network at all), date_not_deliverable, city_not_deliverable_for_item. Custom cake lines add: request_not_found (404 — wrong id/phone or staff removed it), quote_not_ready (409 — staff haven't priced it; check kapruka_custom_cake_status later), quote_expired (410 — submit a new kapruka_custom_cake_request). summary.items_total may differ from the quoted cake total by a few rupees (USD round-trip) — quote the summary numbers when asking for payment. city_not_deliverable_for_item (HTTP 422): at least one cart item (food / hotel cake / liquor) cannot reach delivery.city. NOTHING is created — the API never places a partial order and neither should you. The error text names every blocking item and lists the cities the whole cart CAN go to. Tell the customer which item blocks the order and offer to (a) change the city to one of those, or (b) remove/replace that item. Never retry with the same city. Avoid this entirely by calling kapruka_check_delivery with `product_id` for each limited item before ordering.
kapruka_get_product
Fetch full details for a single Kapruka product by its product ID. Returns name, description, price (with optional currency conversion), stock status, images, variants, shipping info, delivery scope, and a direct product URL. Delivery scope: most gifts ship island-wide, but restaurant food, hotel cakes and liquor only reach a limited city set (typically the Colombo area). The `delivery` object is the authority — search results do NOT carry it. When `delivery.island_wide` is false, tell the customer up front that the item is delivered only to selected cities, and confirm their city with kapruka_check_delivery(city, product_id) before promising anything. If `deliverable_city_count` exceeds the returned list, the list is truncated — say "and more", don't treat it as complete. Note: Some IDs starting with 'CATSYM' are category landing pages, not purchasable products — this tool will flag those clearly. Args: params (GetProductInput): - product_id (str): Kapruka product ID (e.g. 'cakeXX000000') - currency (str): Price currency — LKR (default), USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, EUR - type (Optional[str]): Optional type hint (e.g. 'specialgifts') - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Product details in the requested format. JSON schema: { "id": str, "name": str, "description": str, "summary": str, "price": {"amount": float, "currency": str}, "compare_at_price": {"amount": float, "currency": str} | null, "in_stock": bool, "stock_level": str, # "low" | "medium" | "high" "category": {"id": str, "name": str, "slug": str, "path": str}, "variants": [{"id": str, "name": str, "sku": str, "price": {...}, "in_stock": bool, "stock_level": str, "attributes": {...}}], "images": [str], # list of full-resolution image URLs "attributes": {"type": str, "subtype": str, "weight": str, "vendor": str}, "shipping": {"ships_from": str, "ships_internationally": bool, "restricted_countries": [str]}, "delivery": { "island_wide": bool, "deliverable_city_count": int, # only when island_wide=false; TRUE total "deliverable_cities": [str] # only when island_wide=false; capped at 60 }, "rating": null, "url": str } Error: "Error: <message>" on failure.
kapruka_list_categories
List top-level Kapruka product categories by name with browse URLs. Returns category names (usable as the `category` filter on kapruka_search_products) plus the public Kapruka.com URL for each category landing page — useful for shopping agents that want to send users directly to a category to browse. Internal IDs and product counts are not exposed. Results are cached for 30 minutes server-side. Args: params (ListCategoriesInput): - depth (int): Sub-category levels to include, 1 or 2 (default 1) - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Category tree in the requested format. JSON schema: { "categories": [ { "name": str, "url": str, # kapruka.com category landing page "children": [{"name": str, "url": str, "children": [...]}] } ] } Error: "Error: <message>" on failure.
kapruka_list_delivery_cities
List or search Sri Lankan cities Kapruka delivers to. Use the `query` param to filter (e.g. "colombo" → all Colombo zones, "anur" → Anuradhapura). Without a query you get the first 25 cities alphabetically, which is rarely what an agent needs — pass a query. Returns canonical city names (use these as the `city` argument to kapruka_check_delivery) plus any common aliases / vernacular spellings. Args: params (ListDeliveryCitiesInput): - query (Optional[str]): Partial match filter - limit (int): Max results, 1–50 (default 25) - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Cities list in the requested format. JSON schema: { "cities": [{"name": str, "aliases": [str]}], "total_matched": int, "showing": int }
kapruka_render_options_card
Render 1-4 products as ONE shareable JPEG "menu" card and return its URL. The card shows each product's photo with a big numbered badge (the ref you assign), and its name + price printed under the photo. Built for chat commerce (WhatsApp): send the image, tell the customer "reply 1, 2 or 3", and they pick without opening links. No AI is involved — the image is server-composited from the live catalog data, so prices match what the product tools return. Ref numbering contract: refs are yours to assign — use sequential numbers per conversation and NEVER reuse one (if the first card was 1-3, the next card starts at 4). A number must keep meaning the same product for the whole conversation. Args: params (RenderOptionsCardInput): - items (list[CardProduct]): 1-4 of {product_id, ref} - currency (str): LKR (default), USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, EUR Returns: str: JSON: { "card_url": str, # public JPEG URL — send this as the image "items": [{"ref": int, "product_id": str, "name": str, "price": {"amount": float, "currency": str}, "url": str}], "unavailable": [str] # product_ids that failed to load (omitted from card) } Error: "Error: <message>" when no product could be loaded.
kapruka_search_products
Search for products on Kapruka.com by keyword, with optional category filter and pagination. Returns a ranked list of matching products with prices, stock status, images, and URLs. Supports cursor-based pagination — pass next_cursor from one response into the next call. Pagination is capped at 3 pages per query to discourage catalog enumeration; for broader discovery, refine the query or filter by category instead. Queries must be at least 3 characters and contain specific terms — pure stopword queries (e.g. "the", "a an") are rejected. By default, category landing pages (CATSYM entries with price=0) are filtered out so results contain only purchasable products. Set include_stubs=true to include them. Search results carry NO delivery-scope information. Food, hotel cakes and liquor are delivered only to selected cities — never infer deliverability from a search hit. Before quoting delivery on a specific item, call kapruka_get_product (read `delivery.island_wide`) or kapruka_check_delivery with `product_id`. Args: params (SearchProductsInput): - q (str): Search query (e.g. 'birthday cake', 'roses', 'tea gift'). Min 3 chars. - category (Optional[str]): Category filter (e.g. 'Birthday', 'Flowers') - limit (int): Results per page, 1–50 (default 10) - cursor (Optional[str]): Pagination cursor from previous response - currency (str): LKR (default), USD, GBP, AUD, CAD, EUR - min_price (Optional[float]): Min price (inclusive) in the requested currency - max_price (Optional[float]): Max price (inclusive) in the requested currency - in_stock_only (bool): Restrict to in-stock items (default false) - sort (str): 'relevance' | 'price_asc' | 'price_desc' | 'newest' | 'bestseller' - include_stubs (bool): Include category landing pages (default false) - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Search results in the requested format. JSON schema: { "results": [ { "id": str, "name": str, "summary": str, "price": {"amount": float | null, "currency": str}, "compare_at_price": {"amount": float, "currency": str} | null, "in_stock": bool, "stock_level": str, "image_url": str | null, "category": {"id": str, "name": str, "slug": str}, "rating": null, "ships_internationally": bool, "url": str } ], "next_cursor": str | null, # null after page 3 even if upstream has more "applied_filters": {"q": str, "limit": int, "in_stock_only": bool} } Error: "Error: <message>" or "No products found for '<query>'" on failure.
kapruka_track_order
Look up status and delivery progress for a Kapruka order by order number. Returns current status (received / confirmed / out-for-delivery / delivered / cancelled), the recipient and delivery details on file, a timestamped progress timeline, the cart contents, and flags for whether a delivery photo or video is available. Use this after a customer has placed and paid for an order and reads back the order number from their confirmation email or the order complete page. The order number is NOT the `order_ref` returned by kapruka_create_order (which is the pre-payment checkout reference). Once the customer completes payment in the browser, Kapruka emails them a separate order number — that is what this tool expects. Args: params (TrackOrderInput): - order_number (str): Kapruka order number (e.g. 'VIMP34456CB2') - response_format (str): 'markdown' (default) or 'json' Returns: str: Order tracking details in the requested format. JSON schema: { "order_number": str, "pnref": str, # internal payment reference (numeric; not the same as order_number) "status": str, # received | confirmed | shipped | delivered | cancelled | ... "status_display": str, # human label "order_date": str, # human-formatted, Asia/Colombo "delivery_date": str, # human-formatted "shipped_date": str | null, "amount": str, # LKR string (e.g. "15500.00") "payment_method": str, "comments": str | null, "recipient": {"name": str, "phone": str, "address": str, "city": str}, "greeting_message": str | null, "special_instructions": str | null, "progress": [{"step": str, "timestamp": str}], "live_tracking_available": bool, "has_delivery_video": bool, "has_delivery_photo": bool, "items": [{"product_id": str, "name": str, "quantity": int, "selling_price": float}] } Error: "Error: <message>" on failure (e.g. order not found).

Kapruka MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Kapruka MCP do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: kapruka_check_delivery, kapruka_create_order, kapruka_get_product, kapruka_list_categories, kapruka_list_delivery_cities, kapruka_render_options_card and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Kapruka MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 655 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Kapruka MCP ever remove tools?
Yes. kapruka_customer_addresses, kapruka_customer_details, kapruka_order_history are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Kapruka MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Kapruka MCP need an API key?
No. Kapruka MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Kapruka MCP?
It answers our handshake in 655 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Kapruka MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 21 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
