Why it matters
What it does and why it matters
WooCommerce turns WordPress sites into online stores. Its official MCP support, in preview at review time, builds on the WordPress MCP Adapter and exposes store abilities in two groups: products, with query, create, update and delete, and orders, with query, status updates and notes.
For store owners, that means asking about orders, updating product details and adding order notes by describing what you need.
WooCommerce documents the abilities but not exact tool names, so none are listed here. Every ability runs through WordPress permission checks, so connect with a shop manager account rather than an administrator. Product deletes and price changes affect sales directly, so we keep them behind approval.
