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).
| Tool | What it does | Needs WooCommerce keys |
|---|
list_products | List / search products (name, sku, price, stock, permalink) | yes |
get_product | Full details for one product by id | yes |
list_orders | Recent orders, newest first, optional status filter | yes |
sales_report | Sales totals for a period (week / month / last_month / year) | yes |
search_posts | Search published blog posts (public WP REST API) | no |
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
From source:
git clone https://github.com/wppoland/woocommerce-mcp.git
cd woocommerce-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Set three environment variables:
| Var | Required | Example |
|---|
WP_URL | yes | https://shop.example.com |
WC_CONSUMER_KEY | for wc_* tools | ck_xxx |
WC_CONSUMER_SECRET | for wc_* tools | cs_xxx |
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."

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.
