MCP Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for letting AI agents call tools — structured, named functions with typed inputs and outputs — against a live system, instead of scraping and guessing from HTML.

Every Suita-connected store exposes a real, spec-compliant MCP server at https://your-store.com/mcp, speaking JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP exactly as the protocol defines it. Any MCP-aware client — Claude's custom connectors, or any other MCP client — can connect to it directly.

Tools exposed

• get_products — list and filter published products by category, price, or attribute
• get_product — full product detail: price, stock, dimensions, material, brand, images
• search_products — keyword search across the full catalog
• get_inventory — real-time stock levels per SKU
• get_coupons — active discount codes and eligibility rules
• get_shipping_rates — shipping cost and delivery estimate for a product, quantity, and destination
• create_checkout — prepares a real order and returns a checkout link (opt-in, see AI Checkout)

Connecting Claude to your store

1. In Claude, add a custom connector and set its URL to https://your-store.com/mcp.
2. Claude calls initialize and tools/list automatically to discover what your store supports.
3. Ask Claude something like "search this store for a walnut dining table and check if it's in stock" — it will call search_products and get_inventory directly against your live data.
