Reddit asks why online stores still haven't exposed product catalogs through MCP

A Reddit user asks why online stores still don't expose listings and carts to AI assistants over MCP.
Their suggested setup is simple: a homepage meta tag points to an MCP endpoint, anonymous users can browse public catalog data, and logged-in users can access personalized prices and loyalty discounts. The post argues the infrastructure already exists and that AI assistants with MCP support should make this kind of integration straightforward.
