WooCommerce MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects LLM agents to a WooCommerce store via its REST API (wp-json/wc/v3). It provides 40 tools covering products, product variations, categories, tags, orders, order notes, refunds, customers, coupons, and sales reports.

Setup

1. Generate WooCommerce API keys

1. In WordPress admin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API

2. Click Add key

3. Give it a description, select a user, and choose Read/Write permissions

4. Click Generate API key and copy the Consumer key and Consumer secret immediately (the secret is hidden afterwards)

Your store must use pretty permalinks (Settings > Permalinks) and should be served over HTTPS.

2. Install and build

npm install
npm run build

3. Configure environment variables

4. Run

stdio (for local MCP clients like Claude Desktop):

WOOCOMMERCE_STORE_URL=https://mystore.com \
WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_KEY=ck_xxx \
WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_SECRET=cs_xxx \
node dist/index.js

Example Claude Desktop config entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woocommerce": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/woocommerce-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "WOOCOMMERCE_STORE_URL": "https://mystore.com",
        "WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_KEY": "ck_xxx",
        "WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_SECRET": "cs_xxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Streamable HTTP (for remote/multi-client use):

TRANSPORT=http PORT=3000 \
WOOCOMMERCE_STORE_URL=https://mystore.com \
WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_KEY=ck_xxx \
WOOCOMMERCE_CONSUMER_SECRET=cs_xxx \
node dist/index.js

The server listens at http://localhost:3000/mcp.

Tools

All tools are prefixed woocommerce_ and use snake_case. Every list/get tool accepts a response_format parameter (markdown default, or json for structured data), and list tools support page/per_page pagination with a consistent envelope (total, count, has_more, next_page).

Products

• woocommerce_list_products - search/filter products (status, type, category, tag, stock, price, sale)

• woocommerce_get_product - full product detail

• woocommerce_create_product / woocommerce_update_product / woocommerce_delete_product

• woocommerce_list_product_variations / woocommerce_get_product_variation

• woocommerce_create_product_variation / woocommerce_update_product_variation / woocommerce_delete_product_variation

Categories & Tags

• woocommerce_list_product_categories / _create_ / _update_ / _delete_product_category

• woocommerce_list_product_tags / _create_ / _update_ / _delete_product_tag

Orders

• woocommerce_list_orders - filter by status, customer, date range, product

• woocommerce_get_order - full order detail (line items, addresses, totals)

• woocommerce_create_order / woocommerce_update_order / woocommerce_delete_order

• woocommerce_list_order_notes / woocommerce_create_order_note

• woocommerce_list_order_refunds / woocommerce_create_order_refund (destructive financial operation)

Customers

• woocommerce_list_customers / woocommerce_get_customer

• woocommerce_create_customer / woocommerce_update_customer / woocommerce_delete_customer

Coupons

• woocommerce_list_coupons / woocommerce_get_coupon

• woocommerce_create_coupon / woocommerce_update_coupon / woocommerce_delete_coupon

Reports

• woocommerce_get_sales_report - totals for a period or custom date range

• woocommerce_get_top_sellers_report - best-selling products for a period

• woocommerce_get_report_totals - status/count breakdown for orders, products, customers, coupons, or reviews

Design notes

• Auth: HTTP Basic Auth with the consumer key/secret, as recommended for HTTPS stores. If your server can't parse Basic Auth headers (rare, usually FastCGI setups), WooCommerce also accepts consumer_key/consumer_secret as query params - not implemented here since Basic Auth covers the vast majority of installs.

• Pagination: mirrors WooCommerce's own page/per_page model and echoes back X-WP-Total/X-WP-TotalPages response headers.

• Response size: responses are capped at ~25,000 characters; list tools truncate their items array with a truncation_message telling the agent how to narrow its query instead of silently dropping data.

• Destructive actions: delete_* and create_order_refund tools are annotated destructiveHint: true. Deletes default to WooCommerce's trash behavior where supported (force=false); refunds are irreversible and the tool description calls this out explicitly.

• Line-item edits on existing orders are intentionally out of scope for woocommerce_update_order to avoid an agent accidentally corrupting totals/stock counts; use woocommerce_create_order for new orders and woocommerce_create_order_refund for post-hoc adjustments.
