1.1.3 — Clear pack comparisons and reliable saved choices

Comparisons now show what you actually buy: pack size, listed price per pack, chosen pack count, and line total. Click a product name in the table or View product under its photo to open the exact Lazada listing.

• Readable photo cards with separate quantity controls and rounded ratings; no default per-kg or per-litre prices.
• Saved shortlists survive service restarts. Missing, stale and already-submitted selections have distinct recovery messages.
• Refresh options keeps matching choices and quantities, then requires a fresh review. Submitted batches cannot be replayed after restart or partial failure.
• Legacy picker resources remain available to older conversations.

Validation: 50/50 isolated tests passed, including browser layout, link handling, restart persistence and partial-failure guards. A real eight-group comparison was read successfully after restarting the installed service. No live cart mutation or order was used for these checks. Grok and ChatGPT Work cloud remain unverified; website search relevance remains a known limitation.

Claude Desktop: download lazada-mcp.mcpb, open it and choose Install/Update. Start a fresh chat after updating if an existing conversation still reports an old tool schema. Saved sign-in is preserved.

v1.1.2 — Expandable product comparisons

Fixes long product comparisons appearing in a collapsed frame in Claude Desktop.

• The picker reports its height to the host and keeps its header and actions visible while products scroll.
• Expand opens fullscreen on supporting hosts; Collapse returns to the conversation. Selections and quantities survive mode changes.
• Unsupported or declined fullscreen requests retain a usable inline view with guidance.
• Older conversations retain their v2 resource address.

Verified in Claude Desktop: eight-group comparison, real product photos, Expand and Collapse. No cart changes or orders during this display test. All 46 isolated checks passed, including two browser tests. Codex/Grok fullscreen is not yet verified; search relevance remains a separate limitation.

Download the Claude Desktop bundle, open it, and approve Update/Install. Ask Claude to render the comparison again if an old embed remains cached. An expired shortlist must be regenerated.

Other clients can use the setup instructions. Saved Lazada login and the cart are preserved.

v1.1.1 — Claude Desktop startup fix

Fixes the Claude Desktop 1.1.0 startup failure.

Claude's built-in Node runtime is an Electron utility process. The old service launcher relaunched its GUI helper, causing helper crashes, an unexpected Keychain prompt and a disconnected connector. The Desktop bundle now includes checksum-pinned standalone Node runtimes for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, with their licenses. No separate Node installation is needed.

Re-run the same installer command and approve Update/Install in Claude:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- claude-desktop

Saved Lazada login remains in place. The Desktop download is approximately 80 MB because it includes both Mac runtimes.

Verified: native Claude update, cold service startup using the bundled Apple Silicon runtime, tool/resource discovery, signed-in session reuse and a live read-only product search. No cart changes or orders were made. Isolated suite: 44 passed, 1 optional browser test skipped. Intel execution and full visual shopping remain pending; product search can still include loosely related brands.

CLI clients continue to use their existing Node executable. MIT-licensed project; bundled Node includes its own license notices.

Install with one command

Claude Desktop on macOS:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/thebuilderscollective/lazada-community-mcp/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh -s -- claude-desktop

Use codex or claude-code for their CLI registrations (Node.js 22+ required). Use grok on the shared cloud computer to install the runtime and print configuration for its bot to register. Chrome is required. The Desktop command opens Claude's native install dialog for your review; it does not bypass that approval.

Included

• One shared login and shopping memory per computer; routine local shopping runs headlessly.
• Comparison tables followed by product-photo cards, with explicit missing-photo and ingredient-data coverage.
• Explicit quantities, promotion checks, and a fresh exact checkout review before any order.
• Version-pinned downloads and SHA-256 verification.

Verification and current limits

43 isolated tests passed; one optional browser adapter test skipped in the default run. Earlier bounded live read checks passed 12/12. Tests never place orders. The component's table/photo layout was verified with fixture data; fresh Claude Desktop/Grok installation and real in-chat image rendering still need owner verification. ChatGPT Work cloud and Windows remain unverified/unsupported as documented. See README and docs/TESTING.md for dated scope.

Source and release packages exclude saved login, shopping memory, private diagnostics, and local development history. Third-party dependencies retain their own licenses.

Public distribution verification

The published curl command was exercised with a fresh temporary npm cache and install directory. Download, checksum verification, real npm package setup, and an isolated MCP handshake passed: version 1.1.0, 25 tools, and headless default. The publicly downloaded Desktop bundle also passed checksum and MIT/version checks; native application opening was stubbed so installation approval remains with the user. No live account or client registration was changed by these checks.
