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**Vendure.** Full cart, coupon, shipping and payment flow in the GraphQL Shop API, with ErrorResult types an agent can branch on. No vendor-hosted API. Vendure Cloud is only partly available.\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### Vendure\n\n1. Keep the session token from the first Shop API response and send it on every call. It holds the active order\n2. Check each mutation result's `__typename` and `errorCode`. Expected failures return 200 with an ErrorResult\n3. Don't retry addItemToOrder blindly. Read the active order first, since a repeat adds the quantity again\n4. For server-side work, enable `api-key` in authOptions.tokenMethod and give the key one role in one channel\n5. Run 3.7.3 or later, and purge old job records, which may still hold session tokens\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Adobe Commerce (Magento) or Vendure?\n\nVendure scores 70.9 (BB) on agent readiness against Adobe Commerce (Magento)'s 63.9 (B), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Adobe Commerce (Magento) leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Adobe Commerce (Magento) and Vendure need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Adobe Commerce (Magento) and Vendure without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Adobe Commerce (Magento). Vendure has a hosted endpoint at https://readonlydemo.vendure.io/shop-api.\n\n### Are Adobe Commerce (Magento) and Vendure open source?\n\nYes. Adobe Commerce (Magento) is open source (Proprietary for Adobe Commerce under Adobe's General Terms and product-specific licensing terms. The Magento Open Source core is OSL 3.0).
