Developers

Integrate through MCP or the commerce APIs, authenticated with OAuth or an API key. Credentials and access settings are issued self-serve from the console.

• search_businesses — search merchant commerce data.
• get_business_profile — retrieve a complete merchant profile.

• Identity — name, description, location, service area and languages.
• Catalogue — products and services, with pricing and availability.
• Operations — hours, ordering, delivery, payment and lead times.
• Contact — official business contact channels.
• Credentials — registrations, licences and certifications, with their status.
• FAQ — questions and answers written or approved by the merchant.
• Exclusions — what the business does not offer.

Responses are JSON. Every fact carries a source URL, a status and a last-updated time. Missing data is returned empty, never inferred.

• Business-declared — stated by the merchant through a verified domain, the console or an uploaded file. Not independently checked.
• Official — confirmed by a named official source, such as a registry or licensing authority. Ti-bag does not currently verify against official sources, so regulated claims remain business-declared.

A drop-in tag that signals the Ti-bag crawler when added to a site. Onboarding completes when the domain owner verifies ownership through DNS.

The MCP server and commerce APIs are being submitted for formal recognition across AI platforms. Any model or agent that supports MCP or standard APIs can integrate.

All developers receive the same terms and rate limits. Payment does not affect ranking or placement.

Tools that send information to a merchant, such as a quote request, require confirmation from the end user.

Data is served to answer the end user’s query. Caching, storage and model-training permissions are documented in the console; other uses require permission.

Access logs record which application queried which profile. Merchants see aggregate query volumes and the questions asked.

• Structured data only — no instructions, recommendations or promotional text.
• Missing data is returned empty, never inferred.
• Every fact includes its source, status and last-updated time.
• The merchant is the source of every claim; Ti-bag structures, it does not author.
• Ranking uses relevance and status only. Payment has no effect on placement.
• Text intended to manipulate AI systems is removed or flagged; offending profiles can be suspended.
• All developers receive the same terms and the same rate limits.
• Business-declared data must never be presented as officially verified.
