MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that lets AI clients call tools on other systems. An ecommerce MCP server gives an AI assistant tools like "search products" and "get product" against a live catalog, so answers use real prices and stock instead of guesses. Pludor runs a public, read-only MCP server over every Pludor store's live catalog.

It's a server that speaks the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI clients call tools on other systems. For ecommerce, it gives an AI assistant tools like "search products" and "get product" against a live catalog, so answers use real prices and stock instead of guesses.
Read the server's manifest first - for Pludor it's pludor.com/.well-known/pludor-commerce.json, which lists the MCP server URL (HTTP and SSE) and its tools. Then add the server to your MCP client and call the tools: search products by what the user wants, then read product details. Pludor's server is public and read-only, so no authentication is needed.
Yes - it's public and read-only, and needs no authentication. Any MCP-compatible client can connect and use the product search and product detail tools at no cost.
Not yet. Pludor's MCP server is read-only today - checkout and order placement on a user's behalf are not exposed externally, because transacting requires a signed-in Pludor identity. Agents can search and read product details, but the purchase step isn't open to external agents yet.
Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect. If your client doesn't support MCP, Pludor's manifest also lists a plain HTTP tool API and a knowledge API you can call directly, so you're not locked into MCP-capable clients.
Pludor's MCP server exposes product search and product details - you can see the current tool list in the manifest at pludor.com/.well-known/pludor-commerce.json. In practice, an agent searches products by what the user wants, then reads the details of a specific product for real prices and stock.
Give them a live, machine-readable feed of your catalog. Pludor includes every store's products in its public AI shopping feed (JSONL in the OpenAI Agentic Commerce Protocol shape), a per-store Google Shopping XML feed accepted by Google Merchant Center, Meta and TikTok, plus the MCP server and knowledge API. Opening a free Pludor store puts your catalog in the MCP feed.
MCP is a standard way for AI clients to discover and call tools automatically; a plain HTTP API is something you call directly yourself. Pludor offers both: the MCP server for MCP-compatible clients, and an HTTP tool API plus a knowledge API listed in the same manifest for clients that don't support MCP.
Run Pludor's free AGI Audit (AI Agent Readiness) tool: paste a page and it shows what an AI agent can read and do there, with the fixes that matter. It's free to try with a limited number of runs per hour and no account needed.
You can open a Pludor store for free with no card and no item limit - every feature is on, with free monthly amounts of everything and pay-as-you-go credits (1 credit = 1 cent) past that. Pludor charges a platform fee of 4.99% + $0.90 per paid online order, and optional monthly plans bundle credits with bigger free amounts and lower fees.
Any client that supports MCP; the manifest also lists an HTTP API for those that do not.
Not yet - transacting on a user's behalf needs a signed-in Pludor identity and is not exposed externally.
