General
We are excited to announce Commerce MCP, a foundational technology that will power a new set of AI-driven commerce applications.
Commerce MCP is a lightweight, communication protocol that enables AI agents to understand and interact with commercetools domains. It provides standardized contracts for consistent behavior, allowing diverse AI agents to connect through a unified interface.
This protocol has been used for two variants, Essentials MCP and Developer MCP, to address two different use cases:
- Essentials MCP comes pre-built with an extensive set of tools for commercetools operations, giving it a deep understanding of commercetools API offerings.
- Developer MCP combines API schemas and documentation, together with developer prompts to generate higher quality code. With direct integrations for Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Visual Studio Code, JetBrains, and custom code generation tools, you can now enable AI-assisted development.
