Cooklist

Cooklist is an agentic commerce platform purpose-built for grocery and retail. It provides retailer-native AI shopping assistants that plan meals, run solution-first agentic search over live catalog and inventory, assemble cart-ready bundles, and execute verified cart operations against the retailer's system of record. Founded in 2018, Cooklist powers the first agentic AI shopping experience launched by Kroger (the Kroger AI Meal Assistant, live since December 2025) and integrates with 15+ retailer catalogs. Retailers embed a drop-in JavaScript SDK that talks to Cooklist over HTTPS (GraphQL) and WSS (real-time streaming); a B2B Partner API (API key or JWT auth, per-organization field allowlists), authenticated webhooks, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) interface expose real-time retail inventory and pricing to third-party LLMs such as ChatGPT and Gemini for off-site agentic commerce.

Cooklist is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agentic Commerce, Grocery, Retail, and AI Assistant.

The Cooklist catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Cooklist’s developer surface includes documentation, support, signup flow, authentication, and 10 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/cooklist: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
