Tool calling
MCP Server
A public Model Context Protocol server at https://tealpackaging.com/mcp, using Streamable HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0 and no authentication. Seven tools cover catalog search, product detail, live shop pricing, checkout links, quote requests, and the free sample kit. This is the right integration for an AI assistant that needs to answer packaging questions with real numbers.
Product data
Agent Product Feed
An OpenAI-native tab-separated feed containing 100 exact variant-and-quantity offers across 80 eligible shop products, regenerated daily. Each row carries the full order total, availability, image, seller and policy details, and a link that restores the matching product configuration. Use it when you want the eligible fixed-price catalog in one fetch rather than tool calls.
Programmatic payment
Agentic Commerce Protocol checkout
Teal implements the Agentic Commerce Protocol, version 2025-09-29, at https://tealpackaging.com/acp. Checkout sessions can be created, read, updated, completed, and cancelled. Payment settles through Stripe with a shared payment token. The buyable SKU today is TEAL-SAMPLE-KIT, the free sample kit at $19.99 shipping. This surface authenticates with OAuth2 client credentials, unlike the open MCP server.
Agent to agent
A2A Endpoint
An agent-to-agent JSON-RPC endpoint at https://tealpackaging.com/a2a, described by a published agent card. The card declares the Agent Payments Protocol extension, with card payments settling through the ACP checkout above, and supports intent and cart mandates. Streaming and push notifications are not offered.
API description
OpenAPI Document
A machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1.0 description of the public commerce API, covering the ACP checkout session endpoints and the MCP endpoint. Point a code generator or an API client at it rather than transcribing paths by hand.
Plain text context
llms.txt, llms-full.txt and pricing.md
Three plain-text files written for language models. llms.txt indexes the pages worth citing and states the claim scope that keeps an answer accurate. llms-full.txt is the longer company summary. pricing.md is a pricing reference readable in a single fetch. None of them require a parser beyond reading text.
Browser
Chrome Extension
The Teal DIM Weight and Box Size Calculator, version 1.0.0, is live on the Chrome Web Store. It estimates box volume, dimensional weight, planning billable weight, and product clearance. It is built on Manifest V3, requests zero browser permissions, and runs every calculation locally in the browser. The same calculator is available on the site with no install.
Integration FAQs
What is the fastest way for an AI assistant to integrate with Teal?
Add the MCP server. It is one command in the Claude Code CLI, or a short JSON block in any remote MCP client, and it needs no key or account. From there an assistant can search the catalog, read live per-unit shop prices, and file quote requests.
Does Teal have a REST quote API?
Not as a separate REST endpoint. The published OpenAPI document covers ACP checkout sessions and the MCP endpoint only. Quote requests are filed either through the request_quote tool on the MCP server or through the quote form on the site, and a specialist replies by email within one business day.
Which integrations require authentication?
Only the Agentic Commerce Protocol checkout, which uses OAuth2 client credentials because it moves money. The MCP server, the product feed, the OpenAPI document, and every plain-text file are open and need no credentials to read.
Can an integration place a full custom order end to end?
No. The sample kit can be bought through the Agentic Commerce Protocol, and any of the 81 shop products can be bought through Teal's merchant-owned checkout links. A custom specification is priced by a person and a digital proof is approved before anything prints, so a custom order always has a human in the loop.
How often does the product feed update?
The feed is regenerated daily and contains 100 exact variant-and-quantity offers across 80 eligible shop products, with the full order total for each listed quantity.
What order minimums and lead times apply through any integration?
Custom orders start from 50 units, or 100 or more for specialty rigid, from about $0.44 per unit at volume. Shop products carry their own per-product minimums. Production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval plus 2 to 5 business days for US delivery, and rush runs from about 4 to 7 business days after proof approval on qualified ready-to-print jobs.
