Project: dynamically generating MCP servers for e-commerce platforms
Unknown_4nonymous · reddit · 2026-09-19
A developer is starting a project to auto-generate MCP servers from e-commerce platform API surfaces (Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, custom storefronts), so agents get one consistent tool interface for product discovery, inventory, carts, and orders. Open questions include: reliably mapping OpenAPI/GraphQL schemas (or scraped undocumented APIs) into well-typed MCP tools; per-store OAuth auth and multi-tenant isolation; whether a normalized abstraction layer over heterogeneous product/inventory schemas is worth the complexity or just leaks; static pre-generation vs on-demand runtime; and guardrails against destructive actions like real purchases and refunds. They seek architecture feedback, codegen war stories, and collaborators.
