MCP Server Auto-Generator

The MCP Server Auto-Generator publishes a public, read-only Model Context Protocol endpoint for a WooCommerce store, exposing 5 tools AI shopping agents can call directly, along with a .well-known/mcp.json file for auto-discovery and an activity log of which agents queried the store.

What it does

CrawlPod automatically generates and hosts a read-only MCP server for your WooCommerce store, exposing 5 tools that let a compatible AI agent query your product catalog directly: search_products, get_product, list_categories, get_store_info, and check_availability. A .well-known/mcp.json file is published so compatible agents can discover the endpoint automatically.

Every query against the endpoint is recorded in an activity log, so you can see which AI agents are actually using it and how.

Why it matters

AI shopping agents — ChatGPT, Claude, and similar systems — can browse a store's product catalog directly through MCP instead of scraping HTML, which is slower, less reliable, and prone to missing details a structured tool call would return cleanly. Exposing an MCP endpoint gives these agents a purpose-built way to answer questions about your products rather than falling back on an imperfect read of your site's markup.

How it works

  1. Enable MCP Server Auto-Generator from the CrawlPod dashboard.
  2. CrawlPod generates the endpoint and publishes .well-known/mcp.json for auto-discovery.
  3. Compatible AI agents discover and call the exposed tools.
  4. Review the activity log to see which agents queried the store.

Key concepts

ToolWhat it does
search_productsSearches the store's catalog by keyword, returning matching products.
get_productFetches full details for a single product by ID.
list_categoriesReturns the store's product category structure.
get_store_infoReturns general store information — name, policies, shipping, and similar details.
check_availabilityChecks whether a specific product is currently in stock.
.well-known/mcp.json (auto-discovery)
{
  "name": "Your Store Name",
  "protocol": "mcp",
  "endpoint": "https://your-store.example/wp-json/crawlpod/mcp",
  "tools": ["search_products", "get_product", "list_categories", "get_store_info", "check_availability"]
}

Limitations & fair usage

MCP Server Auto-Generator is available on the Ultra plan and requires WooCommerce installed alongside CrawlPod — there is no product catalog to expose without it. The endpoint is read-only: AI agents can query product and store information but cannot place orders or modify data through it. Queries run on a fair-use schedule to keep response times reasonable for all customers.
