Leaft Foods

Leaft Foods is a New Zealand food-technology company, founded in 2019 by John Penno and Maury Leyland Penno and headquartered in Rolleston in the Selwyn district near Christchurch, that extracts Rubisco — the protein that drives photosynthesis and the most abundant protein on Earth — from green leafy crops such as lucerne. Its proprietary platform turns leaves into a neutral-tasting, highly digestible protein sold as the Leaft Blade consumer beverage, as a Rubisco protein isolate ingredient for food manufacturers, and as an Alfalfa Protein Concentrate for pet nutrition. The company raised a US$15M Series A led by Khosla Ventures. Its digital surface is a Shopify storefront that publishes a real agent-facing commerce API — a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) discovery document, an MCP endpoint for catalog, cart and checkout, an llms.txt / agents.md agent instruction set, and OpenID Connect discovery for customer accounts.

Leaft Foods publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Food, AgTech, Alternative Protein, and Ingredients.

Leaft Foods’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 6 more developer resources.

  name: Leaft Foods Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) API
  description: The agent-facing commerce API for the Leaft Foods storefront. The store implements the Universal Commerce Protocol
    (ucp.dev) natively through Shopify, exposing a UCP merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp and an MCP endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp
    that agents use to search the catalog, create a cart, open and update a checkout, and complete a purchase. Completing
    payment requires contemporaneous buyer approval. Read-only storefront JSON (products, collections, search, cart) is available
    without authentication, and customer-account OAuth/OIDC is served from Shopify's authentication issuer.

  description: The agent-facing commerce API for leaftblade.com, the direct-to-consumer storefront for the Leaft Blade protein
    beverage and a second Shopify shop operated by Leaft Foods (shop leaft-lightgrove.myshopify.com). It implements the same
    Universal Commerce Protocol surface as the corporate site — a merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp and an MCP endpoint
    for catalog, cart, checkout, fulfillment, discount and order — but unlike the corporate store it serves a live product
    catalog and additionally advertises Shop Pay as a payment handler. Agent instructions are published at both /llms.txt
    and /agents.md.
