Discond MCP: Connect Cursor or Claude to UAE Discount Search
Set up Discond MCP in under a minute. Let Cursor or Claude search UAE restaurant and merchant discounts — Fazaa, Entertainer, Talabat and more — with optional sign-in for full offer cards.
Discond MCP is the fastest way for AI agents to search the same UAE discount catalogue people browse on Discond. Paste one HTTPS URL into Cursor or Claude, ask a normal question (“best Japanese near JLT with Entertainer and Fazaa”), and get structured merchants, providers and deep links — without scraping pages.
Discond indexes live deals across 36 providers, including Fazaa, The Entertainer, Talabat, Careem and Zomato. This guide covers what Model Context Protocol (MCP) means here, how to connect in 60 seconds, when you need a sign-in token, which tools to prefer, and safe example prompts.
What is Discond MCP?
Model Context Protocol is a standard for AI clients to call tools on a remote server. Discond MCP exposes read-only discovery tools over Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.discond.ae/mcp. Health check: https://mcp.discond.ae/health. Human setup with copy-paste snippets lives on the Developers page.
Why use MCP instead of scraping Discond?
- Structured answers — merchants, providers, highlights and links instead of HTML soup
- One catalogue — compare Fazaa vs Entertainer vs bank programmes at the same place
- Deep links — jump straight into Discond place or business pages
- Optional auth — unsigned search works; your Discond login token unlocks full offer cards (same rule as the website)
Connect Discond MCP in 60 seconds
- Open Developers and copy
https://mcp.discond.ae/mcp. - Add a remote MCP server in Cursor or Claude pointing at that URL. Unsigned config is enough to search merchants and get deep links.
- For full offer cards: sign in with Google, open Account (or the token panel on Developers), copy your Discond login token, and set
Authorization: Bearer …in the client. - Ask something concrete: “Find Entertainer and Fazaa deals for Japanese near JLT.”
The login token is the same session JWT Discond stores after Google sign-in — the one that unlocks offer cards on the website. It is not a separate API key you invent, not a promo/redeem code, and not your Google password. Treat it like a password; do not paste it into public chats.
Unsigned vs signed-in
| Mode | What agents can do |
|---|---|
| No token | Search merchants, autocomplete names, list providers/categories, return teasers and Discond deep links |
| Login token | Everything above plus list/get offer cards, highlights, validity windows and redeem source_url / app_url |
This matches the consumer site: offer detail on Discond also requires sign-in. MCP does not open anonymous access to /offers.
Tools agents should prefer
- discond_find_discounts — primary workflow (place, provider, category, nearby)
- discond_autocomplete_businesses — messy or partial restaurant names
- discond_get_business — one merchant; attaches offers when authenticated
- discond_list_offers / discond_get_offer — token required; sort by discount or expiring
- discond_list_providers / discond_list_categories / discond_resolve_place — escape hatches for ids and ambiguous areas
Example prompts that work well
- “Using Discond MCP, find live dining discounts near Dubai Marina for Italian, then give me Discond links.”
- “Autocomplete ‘gazebo’ and compare providers at the best match.”
- “With my token connected, show the highest percentage offer at business id … and the redeem URL.”
Security and redemption
Discond remains an index: redemption still happens in the provider app or card programme. The agent’s job is to pick the best live option and hand you the link. Never share your access token in screenshots, GitHub issues or group chats.
If /health does not return {"ok":true,"service":"discond-mcp"}, check the URL on Developers and try again in a few minutes.
