# Asal Banoo

Unofficial read-only Asal Banoo: search cosmetics and skin care, compare prices, sizes, deals.

The tools below come from the `asalbanoo-mcp` MCP server. If they are not available, install it with `claude mcp add asalbanoo -- uvx asalbanoo-mcp`, or add `"asalbanoo": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["asalbanoo-mcp"]}` to the client's MCP servers config. It needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). Restart the session after installing.

## Tools

- `ab_search`: Search Asal Banoo products by keyword: price, discount, stock and rating of each match.
- `ab_find_cheapest`: Find the cheapest in-stock products for a keyword, one flat list sorted by current price (Toman).
- `ab_browse`: List the products of a category or brand (or the whole shop) with sorting, price range, stock and attribute filters.
- `ab_filters`: List the attribute filters of a category or brand listing (volume, hair type, skin type, gender, origin...)

## Rules

- Prices are Toman. Convert before comparing with a Rial figure from anywhere else.
- Read-only: no login, basket, booking, order or payment. Give the user the link to finish on the site.
- Keep request rates low. These are undocumented site APIs that can change or rate-limit.
- On timeouts or HTTP 403 outside Iran, set `ASALBANOO_MCP_PROXY` to an HTTP proxy with an Iranian IP.
