Rappi (Mexico) — Printing Press CLI

Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the rappi-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows:

   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install rappi --cli-only
   

2. Verify: rappi-pp-cli --version
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.5 or newer):

go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/food-and-dining/rappi/cmd/rappi-pp-cli@latest

If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.

When to Use This CLI

Reach for rappi-pp-cli when a user or agent needs Rappi Mexico catalog data in a structured, repeatable, proxy-free shape: discovering restaurants by city or category, comparing store coverage across CDMX/GDL/MTY, snapshotting a neighborhood's catalog to track newcomers and closures, or finding restaurants open at a non-current time. Do not use this CLI for ordering, cart, payment, or account flows — it is read-only by design.

When Not to Use This CLI

Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis.

Unique Capabilities

These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.

Local state that compounds

• restaurants diff — See newcomers and closures in any city + cuisine between two snapshots — answers "what's new in Roma Norte sushi this week" in one command.

  Pick this over a raw list when the user asks 'what's new' — the diff is the answer; you don't have to compute it.

  rappi-pp-cli restaurants diff --city ciudad-de-mexico --category sushi --since 2026-04-01 --agent
  

• restaurants top — Top-rated restaurants with both a minimum rating AND a minimum review-count floor — the listicle-grade filter Rappi UI hides.

  Reach for this when a user asks 'best burgers in Polanco' — it weeds out new restaurants with three perfect ratings.

  rappi-pp-cli restaurants top --city ciudad-de-mexico --category hamburguesas --min-rating 4.5 --min-reviews 100 --limit 10 --agent
  

• stores coverage — Cross-city, cross-store-type coverage matrix (CDMX × markets × pharmacies × liquor × express, all in one table) for the cities you sync.

  Best command for retail analysts asking 'where is Rappi expanding'; one query gives the whole MX picture.

  rappi-pp-cli stores coverage --cities ciudad-de-mexico,guadalajara,monterrey --agent
  

• stores coverage-diff — Delta-vs-last-snapshot of the (city, store_type) coverage matrix — see store openings and store-type expansions over time.

  Pair with weekly sync to spot expansion trends; agents can flag 'new pharmacy zone added in GDL'.

  rappi-pp-cli stores coverage-diff --since 2026-04-01 --agent
  

• restaurants by-neighborhood — Group restaurants by neighborhood within a city (Polanco vs Condesa vs Roma Norte) and rank by count or top-rated per neighborhood.

  When the question is 'which neighborhood has the most sushi options' or 'top-rated pizza per neighborhood' — this is the answer.

  rappi-pp-cli restaurants by-neighborhood --city ciudad-de-mexico --category pizza --agent
  

• restaurants multi-category — Restaurants listed under two or more cuisine categories — surfaces fusion places and mis-categorized spots in one query.

  Pick this when a user wants 'fusion sushi-mexicana' or to disambiguate a chain with multiple cuisine listings.

Agent-native plumbing

• restaurants open — Restaurants open at an arbitrary local time (e.g., "23:30 on Sunday") parsed from schema.org openingHours — beyond Rappi's "open now" view.

  Use this for late-night-eat queries and Sunday-morning planning where the live Rappi view is misleading.

  rappi-pp-cli restaurants open --city ciudad-de-mexico --at "23:30" --category sushi --agent
  

• restaurants near — Restaurants within a Haversine radius of a lat/lng with optional category filter — sorted by distance.

  Best for proximity questions when the user has coordinates (address geocoded externally) and needs a precise radius.

  rappi-pp-cli restaurants near --lat 19.4216 --lng -99.1700 --radius-km 2 --category tacos --agent
  

• stores adjacency — Stores of type A within a Haversine radius of stores of type B (e.g., pharmacies within 1km of supermarkets) — for concierge-style "one-stop trip" planning.

  Concierge agents picking a single trip route should reach for this over two independent radius queries. Requires --fetch-detail because list pages do not include store coordinates.

  rappi-pp-cli stores adjacency --type farmatodo --within-km 1 --of-type market --city ciudad-de-mexico --fetch-detail --agent

Finding the right command

When you know what you want to do but not which command does it, ask the CLI directly:

rappi-pp-cli which "<capability in your own words>"

which resolves a natural-language capability query to the best matching command from this CLI's curated feature index. Exit code 0 means at least one match; exit code 2 means no confident match — fall back to --help or use a narrower query.

Recipes

Weekly newcomers in a neighborhood

rappi-pp-cli restaurants diff --city ciudad-de-mexico --category sushi --since 2026-04-01 --agent --select added,removed

Pulls the added and removed restaurant rows between the requested baseline and the latest snapshot — the answer to 'what's new this week.'

Late-night options on a Sunday

rappi-pp-cli restaurants open --city ciudad-de-mexico --at "23:30" --day sunday --category tacos --agent

Walks synced restaurant openingHours and emits places open at the requested time + weekday.

Cross-city retail coverage

rappi-pp-cli stores coverage --cities ciudad-de-mexico,guadalajara,monterrey,puebla --agent

One markdown/CSV table of store counts per (city, store_type) cell across four cities.

Trim a big response with --select

rappi-pp-cli restaurants list-city --city ciudad-de-mexico --agent --select name,rating,review_count,url

Restaurant lists default to ~30 fields per row; --select narrows to just the four that matter for ranking.

Brand expansion across MX

rappi-pp-cli restaurants brand --name "Sushi Itto" --agent

Fuzzy-matches the brand name across every synced (city, category) snapshot and emits a presence matrix.

Auth Setup

No authentication required.

Run rappi-pp-cli doctor to verify setup.

Agent Mode

Add --agent to any command. Expands to: --json --compact --no-input --no-color --yes.

• Pipeable — JSON on stdout, errors on stderr

• Filterable — --select keeps a subset of fields. Dotted paths descend into nested structures; arrays traverse element-wise. Critical for keeping context small on verbose APIs:

  rappi-pp-cli promotions --agent --select id,name,status
  

• Previewable — --dry-run shows the request without sending

• Offline-friendly — sync/search commands can use the local SQLite store when available

• Non-interactive — never prompts, every input is a flag

• Read-only — do not use this CLI for create, update, delete, publish, comment, upvote, invite, order, send, or other mutating requests

Response envelope

Commands that read from the local store or the API wrap output in a provenance envelope:

{
  "meta": {"source": "live" | "local", "synced_at": "...", "reason": "..."},
  "results": <data>
}

Parse .results for data and .meta.source to know whether it's live or local. A human-readable N results (live) summary is printed to stderr only when stdout is a terminal — piped/agent consumers get pure JSON on stdout.

Agent Feedback

When you (or the agent) notice something off about this CLI, record it:

rappi-pp-cli feedback "the --since flag is inclusive but docs say exclusive"
rappi-pp-cli feedback --stdin < notes.txt
rappi-pp-cli feedback list --json --limit 10

Entries are stored locally at ~/.rappi-pp-cli/feedback.jsonl. They are never POSTed unless RAPPI_FEEDBACK_ENDPOINT is set AND either --send is passed or RAPPI_FEEDBACK_AUTO_SEND=true. Default behavior is local-only.

Write what surprised you, not a bug report. Short, specific, one line: that is the part that compounds.

Output Delivery

Every command accepts --deliver <sink>. The output goes to the named sink in addition to (or instead of) stdout, so agents can route command results without hand-piping. Three sinks are supported:

Sink	Effect
stdout	Default; write to stdout only
file:<path>	Atomically write output to <path> (tmp + rename)
webhook:<url>	POST the output body to the URL (application/json or application/x-ndjson when --compact)

Unknown schemes are refused with a structured error naming the supported set. Webhook failures return non-zero and log the URL + HTTP status on stderr.

Named Profiles

A profile is a saved set of flag values, reused across invocations. Use it when a scheduled agent calls the same command every run with the same configuration - HeyGen's "Beacon" pattern.

rappi-pp-cli profile save briefing --json
rappi-pp-cli --profile briefing promotions
rappi-pp-cli profile list --json
rappi-pp-cli profile show briefing
rappi-pp-cli profile delete briefing --yes

Explicit flags always win over profile values; profile values win over defaults. agent-context lists all available profiles under available_profiles so introspecting agents discover them at runtime.

Exit Codes

Code	Meaning
0	Success

Argument Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

1. Empty, help, or --help → show rappi-pp-cli --help output
2. Starts with install → ends with mcp → MCP installation; otherwise → see Prerequisites above
3. Anything else → Direct Use (execute as CLI command with --agent)

MCP Server Installation

Install the MCP binary from this CLI's published public-library entry or pre-built release, then register it:

claude mcp add rappi-pp-mcp -- rappi-pp-mcp

Verify: claude mcp list

Direct Use

1. Check if installed: which rappi-pp-cli If not found, offer to install (see Prerequisites at the top of this skill).
2. Match the user query to the best command from the Unique Capabilities and Command Reference above.
3. Execute with the --agent flag:

   rappi-pp-cli <command> [subcommand] [args] --agent
   

4. If ambiguous, drill into subcommand help: rappi-pp-cli <command> --help.
