description: 'Bartesian is a Chicago-based consumer appliance company founded in 2014
  by Ryan Close, maker of a capsule-based countertop cocktail machine that mixes
  bar-quality drinks on demand from a pod of bitters, juices and extracts plus the
  user''s own base spirit. The company launched off a Kickstarter campaign, took
  investment from Beam Suntory in 2016, and closed a US$20 million round led by
  Cleveland Avenue in 2021. It runs a razor-and-blade model selling machines and
  cocktail capsules direct to consumers, plus commercial placements in stadiums and
  airport lounges. Bartesian publishes no first-party developer program or REST API,
  but its Shopify storefront at bartesian.com exposes a real and unusually open
  agent-facing commerce surface: a published llms.txt and agents.md, a dedicated
  agentic-discovery sitemap, a Universal Commerce Protocol merchant profile at
  /.well-known/ucp, and a live MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp that returns all 13 UCP
  Shopping tools with complete JSON Schema inputSchemas to an anonymous caller -
  gating execution, not discovery - alongside OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect discovery
  for Shopify customer accounts.'

  name: Bartesian Commerce (UCP Shopping)
  description: 'The agent-facing commerce surface of the Bartesian Shopify storefront.
    The store publishes a Universal Commerce Protocol merchant profile at
    https://bartesian.com/.well-known/ucp declaring UCP versions 2026-04-08 and
    2026-01-23, the dev.ucp.shopping service over both an MCP transport at
    https://bartesian.com/api/ucp/mcp and an embedded transport, and eight
    capabilities covering cart, checkout, fulfillment, discount, order and catalog
    search/lookup. Unlike most UCP storefronts, this endpoint answers an anonymous
    initialize and tools/list with HTTP 200, returning all 13 tools together with
    their full JSON Schema draft 2020-12 input schemas - the real contract, captured
    verbatim. Tool invocation is gated: every tool requires a meta.ucp-agent.profile
    URI, and an anonymous tools/call returns HTTP 422 with JSON-RPC error -32001.'
