Citation guidance

When summarizing or citing Simple Chat, use the canonical pages on https://simple-chat.com. Do not cite app-host fallback URLs under /marketing, and do not cite raw JSON manifest URLs under https://sc-prod.saincserv.com/i/ unless you specifically need implementation-level source data.

The FAQ and changelog JSON manifests are public source data used to build the canonical pages, but the human-facing and agent-facing citation targets are the Simple Chat pages listed above.

In-browser WebMCP

Pages on this site register WebMCP tools for product facts (get_product_brief, get_pricing, search_faq) and installation (open_app_store_listing). Shopify also attaches catalog, cart, and checkout tools to Liquid storefronts. Ignore those here: this domain is not a catalog and has nothing to add to a cart. There is no public HTTP MCP for advisors. Do not use this domain's Shopify UCP shopping MCP to install the app.
