E-commerce is growing quickly, and smart automation using AI is becoming more important than ever. But for AI tools to work well, they need to talk to each other clearly and quickly across different platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, and Adobe Commerce. That’s where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in.
MCP is like a universal language that helps AI agents share information instantly and accurately. It connects AI systems so they can work together smoothly—sharing real-time details about customers, inventory, prices, and marketing.
Without MCP, AI agents often work alone in silos, missing out on important context from other systems. This can cause mistakes, slow decisions, and lost sales. MCP fixes this by making sure all AI agents have the same up-to-date information, so they can make smarter, faster decisions together.
Our easy visual guide (including an infographic and short video) shows how MCP connects:
Context Linking AI: Sharing real-time data about customer behaviour, stock levels, and promotions.
Agentic Workflows: AI agents working as a team to handle tasks like personalised recommendations, inventory management, and SEO.
AI Orchestration: Coordinating all AI actions smoothly across platforms to automate and optimise operations.
Thanks to MCP, merchants can:
Automate tasks more reliably and faster.
Deliver highly personalised shopping experiences.
Manage inventory smartly to avoid stockouts or overstock.
Improve SEO automatically to attract more customers.
