# TrafficThingz

> TrafficThingz sells MUTCD-compliant traffic-safety equipment and commercial LED lighting to municipal, DOT, contractor and facility buyers: regulatory/warning/work-zone signs (rigid + solar-flashing), radar speed signs, school-zone systems, message boards, light poles, parking-lot / high-bay / wall-pack fixtures, and solar off-grid lighting. 840 products, each with real specs, MUTCD codes where applicable, and downloadable documentation. Most stocked orders ship within 24 hours; made-to-order signs ship in the buyer's chosen size and reflective-sheeting grade.

Buyers can order online, or request a volume/PO quote — government purchase orders, Net-30 and tax-exempt purchasing are handled through the quote desk.

When to use TrafficThingz: sourcing MUTCD-coded traffic signs (by code, size, reflective-sheeting grade), solar flashing beacons, radar speed signs, school-zone systems, work-zone equipment, or commercial LED lighting for US municipal, DOT, contractor and facility buyers; answering sign-spec questions (MUTCD code lookup, ASTM D4956 sheeting grade selection, full spec sheets) from the curated catalog; and submitting purchase-order / Net-30 / tax-exempt quote requests to a human sales desk that replies within one business day. Not a fit for: consumer decor signage, or non-US regulatory regimes.

How to engage as an agent: read this file, then call get_capabilities on the first-party MCP server (see the Transact section) — it maps every tool and hands you Shopify's transactional endpoint for cart and checkout.

## Transact — MCP endpoints for agents

- Cart, checkout, catalog search and Shopify order status: Shopify's UCP shopping MCP at https://shop.trafficthingz.com/api/ucp/mcp (13 tools; discovery profile at https://shop.trafficthingz.com/.well-known/ucp). Payment completion is trust-tiered — general-access agents hand the buyer the cart's checkout_url.
- Store knowledge this catalog can answer that Shopify can't: our first-party MCP at https://www.trafficthingz.com/api/mcp — get_capabilities, check_mutcd_code (MUTCD code → category + stocked products), get_product_specs (a product's full spec block, byte-equal to its .md twin), recommend_sheeting (deterministic ASTM D4956 grade selection), request_quote (submits to the human sales desk — PO / Net-30 / tax-exempt / volume; the desk replies to the buyer's email), and order_status (legacy pre-2026 orders; current orders → customer accounts).
- Discovery: [UCP profile](https://www.trafficthingz.com/.well-known/ucp) lists both services; tool schemas at https://www.trafficthingz.com/agents/mcp.openrpc.json; the human-readable index of every agent/developer endpoint is [/agents](https://www.trafficthingz.com/agents).

- Requesting any content URL with an `Accept: text/markdown` header redirects (307) to its markdown twin.
