WooCommerce MCP

Query and update WooCommerce products and orders through the WordPress MCP Adapter.

Officialby WooCommerce (Automattic)Runs on your computerChecked October 18, 2026

WooCommerce exposes store abilities, such as listing and editing products and updating orders, as MCP tools through the WordPress MCP Adapter plugin running on your own site. The feature is still a developer preview, and you connect through a small local proxy with a WordPress Application Password, so the tools respect that user's store permissions.

Who it is for

  • WooCommerce store owners comfortable in the WordPress admin
  • Developers and agencies who maintain WooCommerce sites

Prompts to try

Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.

Prompt 1
List all WooCommerce orders that are on hold and add a note asking the team to check the payment.
Prompt 2
Create a draft product called Linen Tote Bag priced at $35.
Prompt 3
Mark order 1042 as completed.

How to connect it

In Claude Code

  1. claude mcp add --transport stdio woocommerce_store --env WP_API_URL=https://YOUR_STORE/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server --env WP_API_USERNAME=YOUR_USERNAME --env WP_API_PASSWORD=YOUR_APPLICATION_PASSWORD -- npx -y @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest

In the Claude desktop app

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the app:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "woocommerce_store": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "WP_API_URL": "https://YOUR_STORE/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server",
        "WP_API_USERNAME": "YOUR_USERNAME",
        "WP_API_PASSWORD": "YOUR_APPLICATION_PASSWORD"
      }
    }
  }
}

Good to know

First install the MCP Adapter plugin on the site (wp plugin install mcp-adapter --activate). Use a WordPress Application Password, never your login password. The old /wp-json/woocommerce/mcp endpoint was removed in WooCommerce 11.3.

How we checked it

Checked WooCommerce's developer docs for its MCP integration (developer preview), the MCP code in the woocommerce/woocommerce repo (GPL-3.0-or-later, last change October 2026) and the npm proxy @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote (October 2026 release).
