Lotus Umbrella

For AI assistants

Ask your AI assistant about our umbrellas

Connect Lotus Umbrella to the assistant you already use and it can search our live catalogue, read our buying guides and order terms, and link to the page behind every answer. It uses the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), so it works in Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Claude Code, and Windsurf.

How MCP works

    Ask a question

  2. Your assistant

    Picks a Lotus tool

  3. Lotus MCP

    Runs it on our server

  4. Live catalogue

    Products, guides, order terms

You“Find windproof golf umbrellas with a fibreglass frame.”

Assistant → Lotussearch_products({ query: "golf", features: ["windproof"], frame: ["fibreglass"] })

Lotus → AssistantMatching products · item numbers · minimum orders · a page link for each

Questions about the MCP server

Which assistants can connect?

Any assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol over HTTP, including Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Claude Code and Windsurf. The steps for each are above.

Does it cost anything?

No. The server is free and needs no account or API key. Your assistant may need a plan that allows custom connectors.

What can the assistant see?

Only what anyone can read on this website: the public catalogue, order terms, buying guides, the FAQ and our company details. It cannot see other buyers’ inquiries or any customer data.

Can it change anything?

Only one tool sends anything: send_inquiry, which sends your inquiry to our sales team just like the website form. Your assistant should only use it when you ask, with your own name and email, after confirming the message with you. Every other tool is read-only.

Does it show prices?

Everything is made to order, so prices, minimum orders and lead times are confirmed by our sales team by email after an inquiry. Some products show an indicative price range.

Which languages does it answer in?

All the languages of this website. Your assistant passes your language, so product names, descriptions and links match it. Product text is shown in English where a translation is not yet available.

Is my conversation shared with Lotus Umbrella?

No. We only receive the tool calls your assistant makes, such as a product search, never your chat. If you send an inquiry, we receive what is in it, as with the website form.

Are there limits?

Inquiries sent through an assistant are limited to five an hour for each email address, to keep out spam. Searching and reading the catalogue is not limited for normal use.

For developers

The same server, described for machines. It speaks Streamable HTTP and supports current and 2025-era protocol versions.

Prefer to talk to a person?

Our sales team replies to every inquiry within 24 hours.
