Short answer

How can I change my iFood prices or availability using AI?

Your AI uses the iFood MCP to pull your current product list and push changes directly to your store. You can tell it to hike prices for a holiday or hide a dish when you run out of ingredients. Here is how the process works.

The outcomes

What changes in your store

The AI handles the technical updates so you can focus on the kitchen.

SYNC

Live catalog access

The AI pulls your current product list. You get an accurate view of what customers see on iFood right now.

EDIT

Instant price shifts

Tell the AI to adjust costs for specific items. It updates the prices in your iFood catalog immediately.

STOCK

Availability control

When you run out of an ingredient, tell your agent to mark the item as unavailable. This prevents orders you can't fulfill.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI prepares the changes based on your words. You decide when to confirm or revert any bulk updates.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a change.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the iFood backend.

  1. Read the menu

    The AI first looks at your current offerings to find the specific items you want to change.

    get_catalog

  2. Identify the item

    It matches your natural language request to the correct product ID in your system.

    get_catalog

  3. Apply the update

    The AI sends the new price or availability status to iFood.

    update_catalog_item

  4. Confirm the change

    The AI verifies the update was successful and tells you the new state of the item.

    update_catalog_item
