No request rate limit or idempotency key was found in the API documentation, Adobe publishes no MCP server for Commerce, and a licence starts with a sales order.\n\n**Snipcart API + MCP.** Hosted MCP server with 38 documented tools and a self-hostable Bun build. No server-side cart or checkout. Orders only come from the browser widget.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Adobe Commerce (Magento)\n\n1. Ask which deployment the store is. The cloud service answers at `https://\u003cserver\u003e.api.commerce.adobe.com/\u003ctenant-id\u003e/` with no `/rest` prefix, and other stores at `https://\u003chost\u003e/rest/\u003cstore-view-code\u003e/`\n2. On the cloud service, request an IMS token with the `commerce.accs` scope and send the `Store` header to pick the store view\n3. On a 2.4 store, sign requests with all four integration credentials by OAuth 1.0a. A bare integration token is refused unless the merchant has switched that on\n4. Add `?fields=` to REST calls and set `searchCriteria[pageSize]`. Stores with input limits on cap a page at 300 items\n5. Don't retry `placeOrder` or a POST blindly. Read the cart or order back first, because no idempotency key was found\n\n### Snipcart API + MCP\n\n1. Use the agent for back-office jobs (orders, refunds, discounts, stock, abandoned carts), not for placing orders\n2. Start with a test-mode key (ST_ prefix) before switching to live (SL_)\n3. Send the key in X-Snipcart-Api-Key. OAuth-only clients can't connect\n4. Stay under 100 MCP requests a minute and 10 in flight per key\n5. Ignore unknown response fields. Snipcart adds fields without a new version\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Commerce (Magento) or Snipcart API + MCP?\n\nAdobe Commerce (Magento) scores 63.9 (B) on agent readiness against Snipcart API + MCP's 40.8 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
