Woocommerce FAQs

Question 1

What is the WooCommerce MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows you to interact with your WooCommerce store programmatically using the WordPress REST API and JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. It enables management of products, orders, customers, and more.

Question 2

What are the authentication options?

Accepted Answer

The server supports both WooCommerce and WordPress API authentication. WooCommerce API access requires consumer keys (generated in the WordPress dashboard), while WordPress API methods require a WordPress username and password.

Question 3

Do I need WordPress API credentials for all methods?

Accepted Answer

No. WooCommerce methods require WooCommerce API consumer keys. WordPress-specific methods like managing posts need WordPress username/password credentials. Some methods require both.

Question 4

What can I manage with this tool?

Accepted Answer

You can manage products (including variations, categories, and tags), orders (including refunds and notes), customers, shipping zones and methods, taxes, coupons, payment gateways, and even retrieve store reports and system status.

Question 5

What is JSON-RPC 2.0 and why is it used?

Accepted Answer

JSON-RPC 2.0 is a lightweight remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. It's used for communication between the MCP server and your application, providing a standardized way to execute commands and retrieve data.
