What is Inventory for Agents?
For Merchants
Install a simple Shopify or WooCommerce plugin to get started instantly. No complex configuration required.
Select exactly which products and collections are visible to the agent economy. You maintain full control.
Receive USDC on Base directly from automated agent checkouts. Fast, secure, and automated.
For Agents & Builders
Access powerful MCP tools to search live inventory, build shopping carts, and handle payments.
Agents can browse inventory as structured, semantic data—no more scraping HTML or guessing details.
Integrate commerce capabilities directly into your agent's workflow with minimal friction.
For the Machine Economy
We believe inventories should be machine-readable by default. The future is autonomous.
Merchants publish "feeds" for autonomous agents, transforming passive storefronts into active data sources.
Join the network that bridges traditional e-commerce with the emerging world of AI commerce.
