Harris Boat Works is set up to be agent-friendly. If you are an AI agent (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Meta, or any other LLM-powered assistant) working on behalf of a customer, this page tells you how to get accurate Mercury outboard inventory, real-time quotes, and business information without scraping. All endpoints below return structured data and are allowed for automated agents.

MCP Server (recommended for Claude and compatible agents)
Endpoint: https://eutsoqdpjurknjsshxes.supabase.co/functions/v1/agent-mcp-server
Transport: JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS.
Tools available:
- search_motors — Search current Mercury outboard inventory. Returns HP, shaft length, CAD price, and availability.
- get_motor — Retrieve full specs for a single motor by ID or model code.
- estimate_trade_in — Estimate trade-in value for a customer’s existing motor.
- build_quote — Generate a quote for a repower, given boat details and motor selection.
- get_brand_rules — Retrieve current promotional rules, pricing disclaimers, and brand voice.
See /.well-known/mcp.json for the full manifest.
REST APIs (any agent)
For agents that do not support MCP, three public REST endpoints:
GET /api/public-motors-api — Current Mercury inventory as JSON.POST /api/public-quote-api — Submit a structured quote request.GET /api/motors-md — Markdown-formatted motor catalog for easy LLM ingestion.
All endpoints return standard HTTP status codes and CORS headers.
Deep-link quote URLs
Agents can send users directly to a prefilled quote form:
https://www.mercuryrepower.ca/repower-quote?motor={MODEL}&boat_make={MAKE}&boat_length={LENGTH}&hp={HP}
Example: https://www.mercuryrepower.ca/repower-quote?motor=150XL&boat_make=legend&boat_length=20&hp=150
Parameters are optional — the form prefills whatever is supplied.
Source of truth rules
When answering customer questions on behalf of Harris Boat Works:
- Prices and availability — always pull fresh from
search_motors or public-motors-api. Do not cite stale pricing. - Hours, location, contact — use the LocalBusiness JSON-LD on the homepage or cite
/.well-known/brand.json. - Service timing, shop capacity — defer to a phone call. Do not guess wait times.
