WooCommerce MCP Server
WooCommerce's built-in MCP connects your store. Ask AI connects your entire stack: WooCommerce orders alongside Klaviyo campaigns, GA4 traffic, ad spend, Gorgias tickets, Xero accounting, and 17 other sources — all queryable in a single Claude conversation.

What is a WooCommerce MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that lets AI assistants like Claude query external data sources in real time. Instead of exporting CSVs or copying data into a chat window, the AI calls the MCP server directly and gets live answers from your store.
WooCommerce has no built-in AI features. Its reports are fixed views — they can't answer follow-up questions or explain why a metric changed. An MCP server fixes that: once connected, Claude or Perplexity can query your real WooCommerce data conversationally, and cross-reference it with your other tools.
Ask AI hosts the MCP server for you. Generate a read-only API key in WooCommerce, connect it in your Ask AI dashboard, and paste the MCP URL into Claude or Perplexity. That's it.
What WooCommerce data is available via MCP
Once connected, your AI can query all of the following from your live WooCommerce store.
Orders — totals, line items, statuses, refunds, shipping, payment methods
Products — names, prices, categories, variations, images, stock status
Customers — profiles, order history, lifetime value, account dates
Inventory — stock quantities, low-stock thresholds, backorder settings
Coupons — discount codes, usage counts, discount types, expiry
Revenue trends — daily, weekly, monthly breakdowns
Connection method
WooCommerce REST API key — generate a read-only Consumer key and Secret from WordPress admin. No plugin required. Nothing is installed on your site.
How to set up the WooCommerce MCP server
Four steps. Takes under 5 minutes from start to first query.
Generate a WooCommerce API key
In WordPress admin: WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > REST API > Add key. Set permissions to Read. Copy the Consumer key and Consumer secret.
Connect WooCommerce in Ask AI
Sign up, go to Data Sources, click WooCommerce, and enter your store URL plus the Consumer key and Consumer secret. Initial sync completes in seconds.
Get your MCP URL
Go to AI Tools in your dashboard. Your unique Remote MCP Server URL is ready immediately. No extra configuration needed.
Add to Claude or Perplexity
In Claude: Settings > Connectors > Add Custom Connector > paste your URL. In Perplexity: Settings > AI > MCP Servers > Add. Takes under 2 minutes.
Example queries you can ask
Once your WooCommerce store is connected via MCP, ask your AI tool questions like these:
“What was my total revenue this month compared to last month?”
“Which 10 products generated the most revenue in the last 90 days?”
“Show me customers who have placed more than 5 orders this year, sorted by total spend.”
“Which products are low on stock and had strong sales last month?”
“How many orders used a coupon code this quarter? What was the average discount?”
“What's my average order value trend over the last 6 months?”
More powerful with your other tools
The same MCP server also exposes Klaviyo, GA4, Google Ads, Xero, Gorgias, and 14 other sources alongside WooCommerce. Ask cross-platform questions that no single dashboard can answer.
“Which Klaviyo email campaigns drove the most WooCommerce orders this month?”
“What's my conversion rate by traffic source? Which GA4 channels bring the highest AOV?”
“My WooCommerce revenue was £50K — what's my actual net profit after Xero expenses?”
“Which products generate the most Gorgias support tickets relative to their sales volume?”

Frequently asked questions
What is a WooCommerce MCP server?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants query external data in real time. A WooCommerce MCP server gives Claude or Perplexity read-only access to your store — orders, products, customers, inventory — so you can ask natural language questions and get answers from your live data.
Do I need to install a WordPress plugin?
No plugin required. Ask AI connects to WooCommerce via the built-in WooCommerce REST API, which is included in every WooCommerce installation. You generate a read-only API key from your WordPress admin and paste it into Ask AI. Nothing is installed on your site.
Is this different from WooCommerce's built-in reporting?
WooCommerce's built-in reports are fixed views. They can't answer follow-up questions, combine data across tools, or explain why a number changed. With MCP, your AI can cross-reference WooCommerce orders with Klaviyo campaigns, GA4 traffic, Xero accounting, and more — all in a single conversation.
Which AI tools work with this MCP server?
Claude (claude.ai Pro/Team and Claude Desktop) and Perplexity Pro both support Remote MCP servers. ChatGPT and Gemini use different integration methods — Ask AI supports those too via Custom GPT Actions and REST API function calling.
Can I connect other tools alongside WooCommerce?
Yes. The same MCP server exposes all connected sources — WooCommerce, Klaviyo, GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Gorgias, Xero, and more. Once the MCP server is added to Claude, it can cross-query all of them in a single conversation.
Is my data secure?
All credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. We only ever request read-only API access. Your data is never used to train AI models. You can disconnect WooCommerce or delete your account at any time.
