Please 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.



That'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.


Nice 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.


I 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.
