Notes
This is a visualization of part of what happens behind the scenes when agentic commerce takes place. It shows intent being distributed, and merchant agents (these are actual retail operators) offering products through the MCP server and relay constructed as part of the VIA protocol. For the purposes of this demo, merchants and categories are restricted to: SNEAKERS OUTDOORS CYCLING PET SUPPLIES There are no pricing parameters. Feel free to test and see the process at work. There will be errors!
