The WooCommerce MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT
StoreAsk is the WooCommerce MCP server that gives Claude and ChatGPT your store's real numbers, so your assistant becomes your strategy, marketing and merchandising team in one chat. Nothing to install on your site.
What a WooCommerce MCP server is
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use tools from another service. In Claude it's called a connector; in ChatGPT you add it as a custom MCP server.
StoreAsk is a remote MCP server. You paste one address into your assistant and sign in. From then on the assistant can call 21 tools that look up your WooCommerce data: sales summaries and breakdowns, why sales changed, prices over time, profit, customers, coupons, stock and individual orders.
The tools do the counting, so every figure comes from your store's orders, with the period, the order statuses counted and the date used. The assistant explains the result; it doesn't calculate it.
What it looks like in Claude and ChatGPT
StoreAsk is a connector for Claude and ChatGPT. Your assistant calls it whenever a question needs your store's numbers.
- 1In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- 2Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
- 3Name it StoreAsk, paste your connector URL and sign in.
No assistant? Use the chat in the StoreAsk app. Same answers, with charts.
Net sales were $4,212.40 last week (26 Oct to 1 Nov), down $1,034.10 from the week before. Here is the change by product:
Most of the drop came from fewer orders (71, down from 88). The Speckled mug sold 19 fewer units after it went out of stock on Wednesday.
How we got this: 26 Oct to 1 Nov 2026, orders dated by date paid, all statuses except Pending payment, Cancelled and Failed, as in your WooCommerce Analytics.
Your AI assistant knows a lot. StoreAsk lets it know your store.
On its own, an assistant can't see your orders, so it guesses or asks you to paste in exports. With StoreAsk it works from your real numbers, so it becomes your strategy, marketing and merchandising team in one chat.
Beat your best months
Find what drove your best months and have your assistant build the plan to beat them: which channels to double down on, which campaigns to run bigger, which products to push. And make sure your best sellers are in stock before peak season.
- What drove our three best months, and how do we beat them?
- What should we order before Christmas?
Make more on every order
Find the products carrying your profit and the ones dragging it down, which products sell the add-ons, and which first purchases turn into repeat customers. Then have your assistant propose prices, bundles and offers built on how your past changes actually played out.
- Which products could take a higher price?
- What do people buy together, and what bundle should we make?
Turn one-time buyers into regulars
See who bought once and never came back, and which regulars are going quiet. Have your assistant write the emails and offers that bring them back.
- Who used to buy every month but stopped? Write them a win-back email.

How it differs from WooCommerce's own MCP
WooCommerce's MCP lets an assistant edit your store. StoreAsk lets it understand your store, and help you grow it.
Answers you can act on
| StoreAsk | WooCommerce's MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Correct totals on any amount of data | Calculated on our side, exact across years of orders | The assistant gets raw orders a page at a time and has to add them up itself, so on big stores it samples, runs out of room or gets it wrong |
| Same numbers as WooCommerce Analytics | Same definitions: net sales, refunds, statuses, tax, shipping | The assistant decides how to count |
| Why something changed | Breaks a change down into orders, order size, refunds, products and channels | Not available |
| Profit and margin | With your product costs | No costs or profit |
| Channels and campaigns | Orders and profit by source and campaign | Raw order data only |
| Customers | Who stopped buying, repeat rate, best customers | Raw lists |
| Price history | What you charged and when, and the effect of each change | WooCommerce only keeps current prices |
| Bundles, coupons, stock pace | Bought together, coupon results, what runs out when | Not available |
| Context that sticks | Notes on your sales, campaigns and price changes, used in later answers | None |
| Proof | Every answer says how it was worked out, with a link to the orders | None |
Speed and your assistant's limits
| StoreAsk | WooCommerce's MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Seconds, from a synced copy | Slow on large stores: many API calls per question |
| Your Claude or ChatGPT usage | Compact, finished answers | Raw order data fills the conversation and burns through usage limits |
Your store and your site
| StoreAsk | WooCommerce's MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Load on your store | None when you ask: answers come from the synced copy | Every question runs on your server, alongside your customers' checkouts |
| Hosting | Hosted: nothing on your site to install, update, secure or keep compatible | A plugin running inside your WordPress, on your server |
| Store slow or down | Answers still work | Nothing works |
Access and setup
| StoreAsk | WooCommerce's MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Approve access in WordPress, paste one address. No plugin, no code | Install the MCP Adapter plugin, create an application password, configure the client |
| Where it works | Claude (web, desktop, mobile, Claude Code) and ChatGPT, plus StoreAsk's own chat | MCP clients you configure yourself |
| Several stores | All in one connection | One per site |
| Without you asking | Daily alerts and a weekly email | Only answers when asked |
| Your customers' details | Kept out of AI chats unless you turn names on | Names, emails, addresses and payment details can reach the assistant |
| Status | Available, with support | Developer preview |
WooCommerce's side checked against its developer documentation on 3 November 2026. WooCommerce AI, a separate extension, also offers an MCP server.

Questions
- What can I do with a WooCommerce MCP server?
- Anything a sharp analyst, marketer and buyer could do with your numbers. Have it dig through your last three Black Fridays, find the campaigns, channels and coupons that actually moved sales, and draft this year's plan and calendar around them. Ask it which products could take a higher price, and get a pricing proposal backed by how past price changes played out. Have it find the regulars who've gone quiet and write the win-back email. Ask what to stock up on before peak season, and get the order list. Your store supplies the facts; your assistant turns them into the plan.
- Does WooCommerce have its own MCP server?
- Yes, in developer preview. It's built for managing products and orders; StoreAsk is built for answering questions about how your store is doing. See the comparison above.
- Can I use a WooCommerce MCP server with ChatGPT?
- Yes. Add StoreAsk in ChatGPT as a custom MCP server with one address, then sign in.
- Do I need to install a plugin?
- No. You connect your store by approving access on WooCommerce's own screen in your WordPress admin. StoreAsk reads your store from outside.
- Is it self-hosted?
- No. StoreAsk is hosted, so there's no server to install or run.
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. Setup is approving access in WordPress and pasting one address into your assistant.
- Which assistants does it work with?
- Claude (on the web, the desktop app, the mobile apps and Claude Code) and ChatGPT. There's also a chat inside StoreAsk itself.
- Do the numbers match WooCommerce Analytics?
- They are counted the same way: the same definitions of net sales, refunds, coupons, tax and shipping, and the order statuses your store counts.
