Agent Readiness for E-Commerce

If you sell products or subscriptions, agents are the new buyer proxy. Don't make them scrape.

Here are the 5 highest-leverage fixes you can make today to ensure LLMs correctly catalog your inventory and can check out on behalf of users:

1. Publish x402 Support

If you sell digital goods or API access, publish /.well-known/x402.json so agents know you support the Agentic Commerce Payment Required standard.

2. UCP or ACP Integration

For physical goods and complex shopping carts, implement the Universal Commerce Protocol or Agentic Commerce Protocol so agents have a deterministic API for catalog search and checkout flow.

3. Schema.org Product markup

Ensure every product page has a robust JSON-LD block with @type: Product and a nested Offer. Prices and availability must be machine-readable.

4. MCP Server Card

If you want agents in Claude Desktop or Cursor to search your catalog interactively, expose your product search via an MCP server and advertise it with /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

5. WebMCP

Expose an in-page add_to_cart tool via window.mcp so browser-based agents can add items to the user's cart without brittle DOM interaction.
