create_menu_item

API reference — one of six tools an AI assistant can call on an Avrosh account.

What it does

Add one item to the menu or product list. Only write what the human told you - name and price come from them, never from you. Price is a whole number in the business's own currency. If an item with the same name already exists this refuses with its id, so you update it instead of creating a twin. Choice groups (sizes, variants) cannot be set here yet - the dashboard does that; say so if asked.

This is the exact text the model reads before deciding to call.

The id returned by list_businesses.

namestringrequired

The item name as customers know it. Max 160 chars.

Whole number in the business's own currency.

Operator's own grouping word, e.g. food, drink, treatment. Default 'food'.

Request

curl -X POST https://us.avrosh.com/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AVROSH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"create_menu_item","arguments":{"business_id":"926135ac-487d-4367-8bad-25397d0d4b87","name":"Es teh manis","price":8000,"category":"drink"}}}'

Response

The result arrives as an MCP content block; the JSON below is what the text field parses to.

{
  "item": {
    "id": "b52d…",
    "name": "Es teh manis",
    "priceIdr": 8000,
    "available": true
  }
}

Authentication

Every request carries Authorization: Bearer avk_…. Create a key in the Avrosh dashboard under Docs; it is shown once, because only its hash is stored.

One key reaches every business on the account that made it, and no others. There are no scopes to configure and nothing to switch on — a connected assistant receives the whole toolset. What bounds it is whose account the key belongs to, which is enforced in the database rather than by a permission anybody sets.
