Woocommerce Mcp

woocommerce-mcp

A small, read-only Model Context Protocol server for WordPress + WooCommerce. It lets Claude (or any MCP client) answer questions about a live store — products, orders, sales, and blog posts — over the official REST APIs. No writes, no plugins to install on the store: it talks to the existing WordPress/WooCommerce REST endpoints.

Built and maintained by WPPoland, a senior WordPress developer working with WordPress since 2006. If you need this wired into a real store stack, we build WooCommerce ERP and API integrations and enterprise e-commerce architecture (headless, integrations, AI-ready data).

Tools

Everything is read-only. The server never creates, edits, or deletes anything in the store.

Install & build

From npm (package name is scoped - the unscoped woocommerce-mcp name is locked on the registry):

npm install -g @wppoland/woocommerce-mcp# or: npx @wppoland/woocommerce-mcp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/wppoland/woocommerce-mcp.gitcd woocommerce-mcpnpm installnpm run build

Configure

Set three environment variables:

Create the WooCommerce keys in WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API → Add key with Read permission. search_posts works without keys against any public WordPress site.

The keys are sent to your own store over HTTPS as REST query auth. Use HTTPS, and give the key Read access only.

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{  "mcpServers": {    "woocommerce": {      "command": "node",      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/woocommerce-mcp/dist/index.js"],      "env": {        "WP_URL": "https://shop.example.com",        "WC_CONSUMER_KEY": "ck_xxx",        "WC_CONSUMER_SECRET": "cs_xxx"      }    }  }}

Then ask things like "What were last month's WooCommerce sales?" or "List the 5 most recent orders that are on hold."

Verify

npm run check   # builds, then asserts all five tools register (no network/credentials needed)

Notes

• Node 18+ (uses the built-in fetch).
• Logs go to stderr so they never corrupt the stdio MCP protocol on stdout.
• API errors are surfaced with the store's message; credentials are never echoed.
