WooCommerce MCP: manage your store in 
Claude & 
ChatGPTPorter Metrics gives Claude, ChatGPT and other AI clients one hosted MCP server for your WooCommerce store. MCP is the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI apps use to reach other tools. Ask what sold last week, then put a product on sale or launch a coupon in the same chat. Porter reads your store live on every question.
One MCP server: Porter connects WooCommerce to the AI clients, fields and workflows store marketers already use. The same server URL works in Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP client that supports remote servers. Porter calls your store’s REST API on every question and stores nothing, so the answer shows every order your store keeps.
Works in: Claude (Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cowork and Claude Code), ChatGPT and any MCP client that supports remote servers.

Dates follow your store’s timezone. Report fields total a whole period, so for a day-by-day view Claude reads Order grand total by Date.
Porter’s WooCommerce MCP connects with a REST API key you create in your own store, and it asks before it changes anything. A Read key keeps the store reporting-only. A Read/Write key lets Claude propose product, coupon and order changes, and each one waits for your yes. Revoke the key in WooCommerce and access ends at once.
Sales, orders, products and coupons are reads. Asking about them leaves your store exactly as it is.
Claude shows you the product, the price, the coupon rules or the order status first. Porter writes to your store only after you say yes.
Products, orders and coupons Claude removes go to the WooCommerce trash by default, so you can restore them. Customer and category deletes are permanent, so Claude asks before either one.
You create the key under WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API and pick Read, Write or Read/Write, as WooCommerce’s guide to REST API keys explains. Pick Read when you only want reports.
Porter reads your store live on each question and keeps no copy of your orders. Every dashboard load asks your store again.
Revoke the key in WooCommerce and Porter’s access ends at once. You can create a new key later with the access you choose.
Porter’s WooCommerce MCP uses one server URL in every AI client, plus a REST API key you create once in your store. Claude takes Porter as a plugin or a custom connector. ChatGPT takes it through the Porter Metrics app or developer mode. Nothing gets installed on your WordPress site.
Use the Claude plugin for the guided setup. Claude keeps the Porter plugin synced when new tools ship.
portermetrics/porter.portermetrics/porter.Anthropic’s guide to custom connectors using remote MCP covers the same path. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector first. For the Claude side in full, see the WooCommerce connector for Claude.

Remote stores connect through a local proxy on your computer and a WordPress Application Password. The WooCommerce AI extension adds a remote server through WordPress.com (WooCommerce’s guide to the WooCommerce AI MCP server).
Your first question, in either client:
Each WooCommerce skill in Porter’s MCP is a ready-made prompt for one store job. A skill turns live store data into a sales report, a stock alert, a coupon check or a change waiting for your approval. Copy a prompt into Claude or ChatGPT, then change the dates, categories or codes to match your store.
The research skills blend WooCommerce with your ad and analytics accounts, so connect Meta Ads, Google Ads or GA4 in Porter first.
Porter’s WooCommerce MCP fits marketers who run a WooCommerce store and need sales, catalog and ad numbers in one conversation. Founders, agencies, paid media teams and marketing analysts use it to turn a store question into a report, a coupon or an approved product change, with no plugin on the site.
Marketers who sell on WooCommerce and report on it.
You don’t need another dashboard. You need to know what sold and what to restock before Monday’s order.
You build on WooCommerce and want an MCP that runs inside your WordPress site. WooCommerce’s MCP Adapter route covers that job, and you can run it next to Porter.
WooCommerce’s own MCP runs through the MCP Adapter plugin on your site, in developer preview, with abilities to query and change products and orders. Porter is a hosted MCP that connects with a REST API key, reads several stores at once and puts your ads, analytics and email next to your sales.
WooCommerce’s MCP hands your AI your store. Porter’s MCP hands it your store next to everything that brings buyers to it.
Both read and edit products and orders, and both respect WooCommerce’s own permissions. Here is where they part.

WooCommerce’s column follows WooCommerce’s MCP developer docs (as of November 2026).
Use WooCommerce’s own if you build plugins and want abilities that live in your site. Everything under Only one side is what happens when the store is one channel among several.
“WooCommerce MCP” names a few different setups. The job decides which one you want.
Plenty of them rank for this search, and they split three ways.
Porter reads, reports and makes approved changes from one hosted server, starting on the free plan.
Every Porter plan includes the WooCommerce MCP at no extra cost, the free-forever plan too. You pay for Reporting per connected data source account and for Automation by credits, and each WooCommerce store counts as one account. Write actions run inside your own Claude, ChatGPT or other MCP client. Full details are on Porter pricing.
| What you use | What you pay | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| WooCommerce MCP | Included in every plan | The server URL, Claude and ChatGPT setup, reports, skills and approved changes |
| Reporting | From $12.50/mo per data source account, billed annually | Reports and dashboards across WooCommerce and your other sources. The free plan keeps unlimited connected accounts, up to 30 days of history and 15 days in AI chats |
| Automation | By credits | Approved changes like a sale price, a coupon or a stock count. The free plan includes 100 credits a month |
Free means usable: the free plan connects unlimited stores, keeps up to 30 days of history and gives you 100 credits a month.
Yes. WooCommerce exposes product and order abilities through the MCP Adapter plugin, in developer preview, and the WooCommerce AI extension adds a remote server through WordPress.com. Porter’s WooCommerce MCP runs at https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp, needs no plugin and puts your ads and analytics next to your store.
Porter’s WooCommerce MCP server URL is https://mcp.portermetrics.com/mcp. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or another AI client as a custom connector, then connect your store with a REST API key. WooCommerce’s own route uses https://yourstore.com/wp-json/mcp/mcp-adapter-default-server on each store.
Porter includes its WooCommerce MCP in every plan, the free-forever plan too. The free plan connects unlimited stores, keeps up to 30 days of history (15 days in AI chats) and adds 100 automation credits a month. Paid Reporting starts at $12.50 a month per data source account, billed annually.
Not for Porter. Porter talks to WooCommerce’s built-in REST API with a key you create under WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API. WooCommerce’s own MCP route needs the MCP Adapter plugin on your site and, for remote stores, a proxy running on your computer.
Install the Porter plugin from Claude Settings → Customize → Plugins with the portermetrics/porter marketplace. Connect the Porter connector, ask Claude to connect your WooCommerce store and paste your store address, consumer key and consumer secret. Use the manual custom connector only when Claude asks for one.
Yes. Each store connects to Porter with its own REST API key and counts as one account. Claude queries them together in one question, with the store as a column, so agencies and brands with regional stores use one prompt for all of them.
MCP is the Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI applications to tools like WooCommerce. MCP isn’t the agent. Claude and ChatGPT are the agents, and Porter’s MCP is how they reach your store.
Your store’s firewall is usually blocking Porter before WordPress answers. Cloudflare’s bot challenge and security plugins often block /wp-json/wc/v3/. Add a rule that lets that path through, such as a Cloudflare WAF skip rule, then ask again. A store that is down gives the same result.
Report total sales is gross and Report net sales takes out refunds and discounts, so pick the one your admin report shows. Dates follow your store’s timezone. Report fields total a whole period, so for a daily view ask for Order grand total by Date.
Your REST API key is set to Read. Edit the key in WooCommerce → Settings → Advanced → REST API and switch it to Read/Write, or create a new key with that access and paste it into Porter. Reports keep working either way.
Connect WooCommerce to Claude or ChatGPT and start with live sales reports, coupon checks and product changes you approve.
