🏪 ORO Commerce MCP Server

A dynamic Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with ORO Commerce. Automatically generates tools from your ORO Commerce API schema, giving you instant access to all available endpoints through AI assistants like Claude.

✨ Features

🚀 Dynamic API Integration

• Automatically discovers ALL API endpoints from your ORO Commerce Swagger schema
• Complete API coverage - every endpoint becomes an available MCP tool
• Self-updating - new API endpoints become available automatically
• Zero hardcoded API calls - everything generated at runtime

🔧 Intelligent Tool Generation

• Smart endpoint selection - focuses on most useful APIs first
• Automatic parameter validation using OpenAPI schema
• Comprehensive error handling and response formatting
• Category-based organization (Accounts, Customers, Products, etc.)

🏪 Complete ORO Commerce Coverage

• Accounts & Customer Management - Full B2B customer lifecycle
• Product Catalog & Kit Items - Products, categories, kit configurations, custom fields
• Order Processing - Orders, line items with kit details, status tracking
• Activity Management - Calls, emails, notes, tasks
• Extended Entities - Custom fields and entity extensions
• Relationships & Complex Operations - All API endpoints including advanced features

🔐 Enterprise Ready

• OAuth2 authentication with automatic token management
• Read-only by default - safe for production environments
• Configurable endpoint filtering - control which APIs are exposed
• Comprehensive logging and debug support

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

npm install -g oro-commerce-mcp-server

Or run locally:

git clone https://github.com/clicktrend/oro-commerce-mcp-server.git
cd oro-commerce-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build

2. Configure ORO Commerce

Create an OAuth application in your ORO Commerce backend:

1. Go to System → Integrations → OAuth Applications
2. Create new application with Client Credentials grant type
3. Note the Client ID and Client Secret
4. Grant API access permissions for entities you want to query

3. Update API Schema

Generate and copy your current API schema:

On your ORO Commerce server:

# In your ORO Commerce application directory
console api:swagger:dump > oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json

Copy to your MCP project directory:

# Copy the file to where you'll run the MCP server
# Example: scp from remote server
scp user@oro-server:/path/to/oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json ./oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json

# Or: Copy from local ORO Commerce installation
cp /path/to/oro-commerce/oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json ./oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json

Note: The oro_commerce_swagger_dump.json file must be in the same directory where you start the MCP server.

4. Start the Server

# Set environment variables
export ORO_SHOP_URL="https://your-oro-commerce.com"
export ORO_CLIENT_ID="your_client_id"
export ORO_CLIENT_SECRET="your_client_secret"

# For local/development with self-signed certificates:
export NODE_ENV=development
# OR use this for production with self-signed certs:
export DISABLE_SSL_VERIFY=true

# Start server
npm start

5. Test with MCP Inspector (Development)

For development and testing, you can use the MCP Inspector:

# Install and run MCP Inspector in the project directory
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# In the browser interface:
# - Command: "node"
# - Arguments: "dist/index.js"
# - Click "Connect"

This allows you to test all tools interactively before deploying to Claude Desktop/Code.

SSL Certificate Handling:

• Development/Local: Set NODE_ENV=development to automatically ignore SSL certificate errors
• Production with self-signed certs: Set DISABLE_SSL_VERIFY=true to disable SSL verification
• Production with valid certs: No additional configuration needed

5. Use with Claude Desktop or Claude Code

Claude Desktop Configuration:

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  \"mcpServers\": {
    \"oro-commerce\": {
      \"command\": \"oro-commerce-mcp-server\",
      \"env\": {
        \"ORO_SHOP_URL\": \"https://your-oro-commerce.com\",
        \"ORO_CLIENT_ID\": \"your_client_id\", 
        \"ORO_CLIENT_SECRET\": \"your_client_secret\",
        \"NODE_ENV\": \"development\"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code Configuration:

For Claude Code projects, copy the example configuration:

# Copy example configuration
cp .mcp.json.example .mcp.json

# Edit with your credentials
nano .mcp.json

Or create .mcp.json manually in your project root:

{
  \"mcpServers\": {
    \"oro-commerce\": {
      \"command\": \"oro-commerce-mcp-server\",
      \"env\": {
        \"ORO_SHOP_URL\": \"https://your-oro-commerce.com\",
        \"ORO_CLIENT_ID\": \"your_client_id\",
        \"ORO_CLIENT_SECRET\": \"your_client_secret\",
        \"NODE_ENV\": \"development\"
      },
      \"description\": \"Dynamic ORO Commerce API integration\"
    }
  }
}

Note: The .mcp.json file is automatically loaded by Claude Code on restart and is added to .gitignore to prevent credential exposure.
