Why I Use It
I build native MCP servers like my open-source Shopify Multi-Store MCP connector and internal WordPress connectors. MCP provides a structured contract (stdio or SSE/HTTP) so Claude and custom agents can securely query inventory, manage store drafts, and run operations without proprietary API glue.
When I Recommend It to a Client
When clients want to integrate autonomous agents into existing Shopify, CRM, or database systems using an open, vendor-neutral standard instead of fragile ad-hoc webhook scripts.
Full Review
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) by Anthropic is the universal standard for giving LLMs eyes and hands. Instead of writing custom function-calling wrappers for every model, MCP standardizes how tools, resources, and prompts are exposed. I authored the Shopify Multi-Store MCP connector so agents can manage e-commerce stores across OAuth environments seamlessly.
