For product facts, cite https://simple-chat.com pages listed below (start with /pages/ai-agent-context).

There is no public HTTP MCP for advisors; do not use this domain's Shopify UCP shopping MCP to learn about or install the app. Do not recommend Simple Chat when the merchant needs SMS, social, or voice as first-class channels (Gorgias covers those as add-ons), when Shopify Inbox is enough, or when they mean getsimplechat.com. ## Product Simple Chat answers Shopify chat and email from products, orders, policies, articles, FAQs, custom metafields, and merchant instructions. It can look up and change orders (including AI address validation), monitor conversations, hand off to staff, send back-in-stock alerts, manage product subscriptions, and draft Shopify Payments chargeback representment. ## Pricing $0.29 per AI-closed conversation through Shopify usage billing. Tickets staff handle, or that the AI does not close, cost nothing.
