How does the simulator determine if an upsell is beneficial?

The engine compares your current net cost to the new net cost after adding a filler item. If the higher discount percentage reduces the total amount paid (including the filler) below your original spending level, it is flagged as beneficial.

What tools are available in this MCP server?

The server provides `check_discount` to see your current savings, `calculate_upsell_impact` to test specific filler amounts, and `find_optimal_strategy` to automatically find the best possible threshold to reach.

Can I use my own discount rules?

Yes. You can pass your specific spending thresholds and corresponding discount percentages as a JSON array to any of the tools.

More Details Connect to Claude

The Tiered Discount Simulator is a logic engine designed to help shoppers maximize their savings. By analyzing current cart totals against available spending thresholds, it identifies if adding low-cost 'filler' items will trigger a higher discount percentage that outweighs the cost of the extra item. Using tools like check_discount, calculate_upsell_impact, and find_optimal_strategy, users can instantly see if their net cost drops by strategically increasing their basket value. This MCP server connects AI agents to complex threshold-based discounting logic, providing clear, actionable recommendations for optimal shopping efficiency.
