Agent-ready WooCommerce: let AI assistants shop your store
An MCP connector that lets Claude and ChatGPT search a WooCommerce catalog, check stock and delivery, build a cart, and hand the customer a secure checkout link, with no store rebuild.
The problem
Shopify stores now get agent access built in. WooCommerce and custom stores don't, so they're invisible when customers ask an AI assistant to find and buy something.
The solution
A connector over the WooCommerce REST API exposes the store as clear, typed tools. Agents can browse and build orders, but payment always happens on the store's own checkout page.
