Overview

AI-generated overview

Pollen lets an assistant manage a merchant's product catalog for AI-agent readiness: sync, enrich, fix, and publish products to Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCom.

What you can do
Check account status, plan, agent-ready percentage, and live pipeline progress for sync, enrichment, and writeback, plus cross-merchant category benchmarks and a Deep Audit of AI answer visibility and catalog gaps. List and read products with scores, structured facts, agent descriptions, and missing attributes. Trigger a full catalog sync and run multimodal enrichment on one product or the whole catalog. Apply automated catalog fixes for SEO titles and meta descriptions, tags, image alt text, and brand, and write merchant-supplied facts such as SKU, barcode, weight, and brand. Publish enriched data back to the store as metafields and replace a single product's shopper-visible description.
When to use it
Use it when a merchant wants to make their store catalog more discoverable to AI shopping agents, or needs to sync, enrich, audit, and publish product data across Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce from a chat.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at pollen.elytron.in; no environment variables or headers declared. Requires a Pollen merchant account with a connected store platform. The Deep Audit needs the $9 one-time purchase or a paid plan. Google and Meta connections require a human to open an auth URL in a browser.
Before you install
Several tools change the live store: sync_catalog, enrich actions, apply_fixes, apply_description, update_product_facts, and write_back_to_store write to the merchant's platform. apply_description overwrites a product's shopper-visible description. Picking an existing Meta catalog lets Pollen add and remove products in it, so confirm with the merchant first. Google and Meta consent must be granted by the human, and accepting Google terms creates a Merchant Center account.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pollen — Managed Agent-Readiness Layer in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/in.elytron%2Fpollen/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Tools

23

get_account_summary

Account summary

Get a high-level summary of the merchant's Pollen account: plan, agent-ready %, product counts, last sync/enrichment/writeback timestamps. Use this first if the user asks 'where do I stand?' or 'what's my status?'

Takes no parameters.

get_deep_audit

Deep Audit report

The Deep Audit report: the AI answer-visibility test (frozen shopper questions asked to Claude and Gemini - cited or not, with evidence), the catalog fix plan, and the worst-scoring products with their missing attributes. Access requires the $9 one-time purchase or any paid plan; without access this returns what the report contains and how to unlock it.

Takes no parameters.

list_products

List products

List products in the merchant's catalog with optional filters. Useful for 'show me products that haven't been enriched yet' or 'find products with the lowest scores'. Returns up to 50 per call.

ParameterslimitsearchsortByenrichmentStatus

get_product

Get product details

Fetch full enriched detail for one product by ID. Includes the structured facts, agent description, missing attributes, cultural references, and score breakdown.

ParametersproductIdrequired

get_pipeline_status

Pipeline status

Read live pipeline status for the merchant's shop: sync, enrichment (with progress), and writeback. Use when the user asks 'is anything running?' or 'how far along is enrichment?'

Takes no parameters.

get_network_insights

Network insights

Fetch Hive cross-merchant signal for the merchant's catalog: category benchmarks (avg images, top angles, etc.) alongside the merchant's own catalog stats for comparison. Use when the user asks 'how do I compare to similar stores?'

Parameterscategory

sync_catalog

Sync catalog

Trigger a full product sync from the merchant's platform (Shopify, WC, BC) into Pollen. Use before enrichment if products are missing or out of date.

Takes no parameters.

enrich_product

Enrich one product

Run Pollen's multimodal enrichment on a single product. Returns immediately with a job reference; check `get_pipeline_status` for progress.

ParametersproductIdrequired

enrich_all_products

Enrich all products

Run enrichment across the merchant's full catalog (PENDING + FAILED products). Returns a job reference; check `get_pipeline_status` for progress. This is the primary 'do the work' action.

Takes no parameters.

write_back_to_store

Publish to store

Push enriched data back to the merchant's platform as metafields/meta_data. Run after enrichment completes. Use when the user says 'publish' or 'push to my store'.

Takes no parameters.

get_fix_opportunities

Fix opportunities

Analyze the catalog's agent-readiness gaps and what can be done about each: points lost per score dimension, counts fixable automatically by Pollen (empty SEO meta, missing image alt text, thin tags), the 'needs you' checklist of physical facts only the merchant knows (SKU, barcode, weight, brand, photos) with product names, and per-product description candidates awaiting merchant approval. Start here when the user asks 'what's wrong?' or 'how do I improve my score?'.

Takes no parameters.

apply_fixes

Apply automated fixes

Run one of Pollen's automated catalog-wide fixes on the merchant's store: 'seo' (fill empty SEO titles + meta descriptions), 'tags' (add tags from enrichment facts to products with fewer than 3), 'altText' (fill empty image alt texts), or 'brand' (fill missing brand from enrichment or the store's own name - Shopify vendor / WC Brands). Fill-only-empty: values the merchant already set are NEVER touched. Queued on the worker - poll get_fix_opportunities fixStatuses for progress.

ParametersfixTyperequired

apply_description

Apply Pollen description

Replace ONE product's shopper-visible store description with Pollen's SANITIZED enriched version - the storefrontDescriptionCandidate shown by get_product, NOT the raw agentDescription (hedged sentences and enrichment meta-commentary are stripped before anything touches the store). This overwrites human-facing content, so you MUST show the merchant that exact candidate first and get their explicit approval before calling. Only applies when the store's current description is thin (<200 chars).

ParametersproductIdrequired

update_product_facts

Update product facts

Write merchant-supplied physical facts to the store - the 'only you know this' gaps Pollen can't fill from enrichment: SKU, barcode (GTIN/UPC/EAN), weight, and brand. Use when the merchant provides values ('all tees weigh 180 grams', 'barcodes from my supplier sheet'). sku/barcode/weight are per-variant: products with multiple variants need variantId (list them via get_product). Up to 25 updates per call; each returns applied + previous values and the product's new score.

Parametersupdatesrequired

get_setup_instructions

Setup instructions

Get the merchant-side setup steps Pollen cannot do via API - platform plugin/extension activation, SEO plugin note, surface connections still pending. Each section says exactly what to do and why. Use when onboarding or when the user asks 'what's left to set up?'.

Takes no parameters.

connect_google

Connect Google

Start (or restart) connecting the merchant's Google Merchant Center to Pollen. Returns an authUrl that the HUMAN must open in a browser to grant Google consent - an agent cannot click it. After they approve, call get_google_connect_status to see where the flow landed (it may pause on an account picker or Terms-of-Service acceptance; resume with pick_google_account / accept_google_terms). Once active, Pollen publishes the enriched catalog automatically.

Takes no parameters.

get_google_connect_status

Google connect status

Where the Google connection stands. status: none|selecting_account (call pick_google_account with one of the returned candidates)|tos_required (call accept_google_terms)|verifying|awaiting_approval|connector_pending (Pollen is finishing setup server-side - just re-check later)|active|claim_conflict|not_admin|error. When active, includes the live funnel stage (publishing/in_review/live) and approval counts.

Takes no parameters.

pick_google_account

Pick Google account

Resume a Google connect paused on the account picker (status selecting_account). Pass the accountId of one of the candidates returned by get_google_connect_status. On success Pollen finishes the handshake and publishes the catalog automatically.

ParametersaccountIdrequired

accept_google_terms

Accept Google terms

Resume a greenfield Google connect paused on Terms-of-Service acceptance (status tos_required). Only call this after the merchant has confirmed they accept the Google Merchant Center ToS (termsUrl from get_google_connect_status). Creates their Merchant Center account and finishes the handshake.

Takes no parameters.

connect_meta

Connect Meta

Start (or restart) connecting the merchant's Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Business catalog to Pollen. Returns an authUrl that the HUMAN must open in a browser to approve via Facebook Login - an agent cannot click it. Afterwards call get_meta_connect_status; the flow may pause on a business or catalog picker (resume with pick_meta_business / pick_meta_catalog). Once active, Pollen publishes the enriched catalog automatically.

Takes no parameters.

get_meta_connect_status

Meta connect status

Where the Meta connection stands. status: none|selecting_business (call pick_meta_business with a candidate)|selecting_catalog (call pick_meta_catalog with a candidate id or "__create__" for a fresh Pollen-managed catalog)|not_admin (the Facebook account isn't a Business admin - reconnect with the right account)|active|error. When active, includes the live funnel stage and approval counts.

Takes no parameters.

pick_meta_business

Pick Meta business

Resume a Meta connect paused on the business picker (status selecting_business). Pass the businessId of a candidate from get_meta_connect_status. May advance to the catalog picker (selecting_catalog) or go straight active.

ParametersbusinessIdrequired

pick_meta_catalog

Pick Meta catalog

Resume a Meta connect paused on the catalog picker (status selecting_catalog). Pass a candidate catalog id, or "__create__" to create a dedicated "Pollen - {shop}" catalog. NEVER pick an existing catalog without the merchant's explicit confirmation - Pollen will manage (add/remove) products in it.
