Custom and headless stores can build exactly the MCP they need.
If your store runs on a custom build, a headless setup or a platform with no MCP server, you can write a small MCP server over your own API. The official MCP SDKs make this a modest project, and you decide exactly which tools exist and what each is allowed to do.
The same advice applies as everywhere else: expose read-only tools first, authenticate properly, log what the assistant does and never share keys in prompts.

Switch platform
by commercetools
Managed or self-hosted MCP for products, categories, carts and orders on commercetools, with selectable tools.
Note: Early access service without an SLA; tool selection decides how much write power an agent gets.
by Saleor
Read-only server for channels, orders, products and inventory on Saleor Cloud, with an open-source version for self-hosters.
Note: Early first iteration; OAuth and analytics tools are still planned.
by You or your agency
Use the official MCP SDKs to expose a few well-defined tools over your own API, such as order lookup or stock check.
Note: You own the security. Start read-only and add logging and rate limits.
These connect to your ad accounts, analytics, email and payments tools, not to the store software, so they do not depend on your platform.

Yes. You can build a small server over your own API with the official SDKs, or use an automation bridge for simple actions. Ads, analytics, email and payments servers work regardless of your store platform.
