# Blink

> Blink reads the return, shipping and refund terms behind a product and turns them into answers people and AI agents can check, with the store's own wording attached. Agents use it before checkout: through the API, or over MCP in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok and any MCP client. People can also use the free browser extension. Made by Rohan Khanna, Hadrien Padilla and Noah Edmunds.

## What it does

- Looks up a store's policy as structured data: every return route kept separate, with its fee, window and refund type, and the source text behind each fact.
- Checks a purchase against a buyer's conditions and returns ALLOW, DENY or REVIEW.
- Marks facts the policy doesn't state as unknown. A missing fee is never read as a free return.
- Signs every ALLOW with a receipt bound to the purchase, the conditions, the evidence and the policy version.
- Doesn't buy anything. The agent, or the person, still decides and checks out.

## For agents shopping on someone's behalf

Before buying for a person, check the product with Blink: whether it can be returned, for how long, at what cost and refunded how, and whether that meets the person's conditions. Connect over MCP at the server URL above, or call the API.
