## MCP tools (16)

### `ok_login` (~160 tokens)

Log in to Okala (sends an SMS code)

Log in to the user's Okala account, which unlocks Okala's real text search in ok_search
(brands and product names, inside one store too). Optional: every other tool works as a guest.

Only call this when the user asked to log in and gave THEIR OWN phone number. It sends an SMS code to
that number (at most one every 2 minutes). If the client can show a form, the user types the code there
and the login finishes in this call. Otherwise the reply says `code_sent`: ask the user for the code and
call ok_login_verify. Nothing is ordered or changed in the account.

Input parameters:

- `phone` (string, required): The user's Iranian mobile number, e.g. '09121234567'.

### `ok_login_verify` (~86 tokens)

Finish the Okala login

Finish a login started with ok_login: the code the user received by SMS. Saves the login on this
machine (it refreshes itself); afterwards ok_search uses Okala's text search.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The SMS code, e.g. '12345'.
- `phone` (string, required): The user's Iranian mobile number, e.g. '09121234567'.

### `ok_account` (~50 tokens)

Okala login status

Whether the server is logged in to Okala (and as which phone, masked). Logged in = ok_search uses
Okala's text search; guest = category matching. To log in: ok_login.

### `ok_logout` (~25 tokens)

Log out of Okala

Delete the saved Okala login on this machine; the server continues as a guest.

### `ok_locate` (~130 tokens)

Find a delivery address

Turn an address into coordinates (lat, lon) for every other tool, plus the street address of the best hit.

Use first when the user gives an address or place name; then pass the chosen candidate's lat / lon to
ok_stores, ok_search, ok_compare or ok_deals. Candidates can mix similar names: check `description`.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required): Address or place in Persian, e.g. 'میدان ونک' or 'یوسف آباد'.
- `city` (string): City name in Persian, e.g. 'تهران', 'مشهد'.

### `ok_stores` (~206 tokens)

Stores that deliver to a point

Okala stores that deliver to a point, in the site's order: id, type, rating, distance, earliest
slot and the fees added to every order (service, packaging, delivery; Toman).

Use after ok_locate. Pass store ids to ok_store (minimum order, slots), ok_store_products, ok_product
and ok_deals; to compare one product across stores use ok_compare. `count` = matches before `limit`.

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `limit` (integer): Max stores to return, in the site's order.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `open_only` (boolean): Leave out stores that are closed / cannot deliver now.
- `store_type`: Only one kind: SuperMarket, Bakery, FruitMarket, ChainStore (Ofogh, HyperFamily) or Opack.

### `ok_store` (~166 tokens)

Store details and delivery slots

One store as seen from the delivery point: whether it delivers there now, minimum order (Toman),
rating, distance and location, the earliest slot, and every still-open delivery slot of the next days
(Tehran local time).

Use before recommending a store: the basket must reach `minimum_order`. Fees per order are in
ok_stores; written reviews in ok_store_reviews.

Input parameters:

- `all_slots` (boolean): Also list full slots with an available flag.
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `store_id` (integer, required): Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

### `ok_store_reviews` (~160 tokens)

Store reviews

Read customers' reviews of a store: 1-5 stars, comment, date and the reasons they ticked
(liked: product variety, ...; disliked: expiry date problems, ...).

Use as a quality check before recommending a store; LowestRate shows the complaints first.
The average rating and rating count are in ok_stores / ok_store.

Input parameters:

- `full_text` (boolean): Return whole comments (default: cut at 400 characters).
- `page` (integer): Page number, from 1.
- `page_size` (integer): Reviews per page.
- `sort` (string): Newest first, or by star rating.
- `store_id` (integer, required): Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

### `ok_categories` (~162 tokens)

Category tree

Category tree (id, slug, Persian name, children) of everything sold near a point, or in one store.

Use to find the slug for ok_compare / ok_store_products when ok_search's guess is off, or to show
what a store sells. Level-1 slugs (departments, e.g. 'dairy-products') work in ok_store_products.

Input parameters:

- `depth` (integer): Levels to return: 1 departments, 2 + sub-categories, 3 all.
- `lat`: Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `lon`: Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `store_id`: Instead of a point: one store's categories.

### `ok_search` (~244 tokens)

Search products near a point

Find products by text near a point (or in one store with store_id), best matches first, then
cheapest (Toman). `mode`: "text" = Okala's own search (logged in; brands and product names too, up
to 12 per store); "category" = guest fallback matching the query to nearby category names (a pure
brand name may find nothing: pick a slug from ok_categories; store_id needs login, else use
ok_store_products with name_contains).

Use for "how much is X near me". Then: ok_compare (several stores, with fees), ok_product (one store).

Input parameters:

- `lat`: Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `limit` (integer): Max products to return.
- `lon`: Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `query` (string, required): What to buy, in Persian, e.g. 'شیر کم چرب', 'پنیر لیقوان', 'تن ماهی'.
- `store_id`: Search inside this store only (needs login), e.g. 11009.

### `ok_compare` (~220 tokens)

Compare prices across stores

Which open nearby store sells the same product cheapest: a category and/or brand from every store,
grouped by product id, each store's price cheapest first; products sold by most stores come first.

\`stores` has each store's distance, earliest slot and fees (true cost = items + fees; the minimum
order applies, see ok_store). At most 12 products per store: narrow with a deeper slug or brand_id.

Input parameters:

- `brand_id`: Brand id from ok_brands / ok_search (e.g. 1 = Kalleh); with a slug = that brand in the category.
- `category_slug`: Category slug from ok_search / ok_categories, e.g. 'milk'.
- `in_stock_only` (boolean): Only products that can be ordered now.
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `limit` (integer): Max products to return.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.

### `ok_store_products` (~236 tokens)

Products of one store

A whole category of one store (the API returns all of it at once), sorted and optionally filtered by
name, prices in Toman. `total` counts the matches before limit / offset.

This is the way to search inside one store: pass a level-1 department slug (ok_categories with
store_id, e.g. 'dairy-products') plus name_contains. Details of one product: ok_product.

Input parameters:

- `category_slug` (string, required): Category slug (latinName) from ok_categories / ok_search, e.g. 'milk', 'dairy-products'.
- `in_stock_only` (boolean): Only products that can be ordered now.
- `limit` (integer): Max products to return.
- `name_contains`: Keep only products whose name contains every word, e.g. 'کم چرب'.
- `offset` (integer): Skip this many matches (paging).
- `sort` (string): cheapest / most_expensive (price to pay), discount (biggest % off), default (site ranking).
- `store_id` (integer, required): Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

### `ok_product` (~132 tokens)

Product details in a store

One product in one store: price and discount (Toman), stock, max per order, brand, category,
images and description. `sold_here: false` = this store does not sell it (try ok_compare).

The product id is the same in every store; the price and stock are per store.

Input parameters:

- `full_text` (boolean): Return the whole description (default: cut at 600 characters).
- `product_id` (integer, required): Product id from any list, e.g. 269658.
- `store_id` (integer, required): Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

### `ok_brands` (~103 tokens)

Find brands

Brand ids for ok_compare (`brand_id`) and slugs. Okala publishes only a short list of featured brands;
any other brand is looked up by its Latin slug (as in okala.com/brands/<slug>; ok_product returns
brand_slug, ok_search returns the brands of its results with ids).

Input parameters:

- `name`: Brand name in Persian or Latin, or its slug, e.g. 'کاله', 'kalleh', 'mihan'.

### `ok_deals` (~150 tokens)

Current deals

Deal rows running now, with their end time (UTC) and top products (Toman, discount, store).

Without store_id: the home-page rows across every open store that delivers to the point. With
store_id: that store's rows plus its biggest discounts. Open a whole row with ok_offer(carousel_id).

Input parameters:

- `lat` (number, required): Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `per_row` (integer): Products to show per deal row.
- `store_id`: Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

### `ok_offer` (~182 tokens)

One deal row in full

Every product of one deal row (from ok_deals), Toman. Without store_id: across all open stores that
deliver to the point, with each store's product count and price range; with store_id: that store only.

Input parameters:

- `carousel_id` (integer, required): Deal row id (carousel_id) from ok_deals.
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude from ok_locate, e.g. 35.7372.
- `lon` (number, required): Longitude from ok_locate, e.g. 51.4154.
- `page` (integer): Page number, from 1 (20 products per page).
- `sort` (string): default (row order), cheapest / most_expensive (price to pay), discount (biggest % off).
- `store_id`: Store id from ok_stores, e.g. 11009.

## Common questions

### What is the Okala MCP server?

Okala is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.sepehr071/okala-mcp. Unofficial read-only Okala: grocery stores that deliver to you, compare prices across stores. This page covers its PyPI package (okala-mcp).

### Is the Okala MCP server safe to use?

Okala scores 64 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 22 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Okala MCP server expose?

Okala exposes 16 tools: ok_login, ok_login_verify, ok_account, ok_logout, ok_locate, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,412 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Okala MCP server still maintained?

Okala is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 22 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Okala MCP server under?

Okala declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
