Using Kindred Offers

Once integrated, Kindred Offers works automatically in the background. When shopping online:

3. Relevant offers and discount codes will be presented to you

Example prompts:

• "Find me deals for electronics on Walmart"
• "Please recommend 5 sneaker brands that are good for running (I'm in the US). I would also love offers if there are any for these"

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Connection Errors: Ensure your internet connection is stable and the MCP endpoint is correctly entered
• No Offers Appearing: Some retailers may not have active offers in our system
• Delayed Responses: During peak times, the server may experience slight delays
• Initial Prompt: When Claude first tries to use this service, it will request for you to allow it to use this external service. You can select "Allow always" so that it can always use and access Kindred Offers.
