The buyer pays on a private page, so a person completes each purchase. No status page, security.txt or registered seller address was found on agentzon.co, and 34 of 500 listed items cannot be bought.\n\n**Medusa API + MCP.** MIT core you can self-host, with Medusa Cloud running the same APIs and no GMV fee. The official MCP server is docs-only and limited to Cloud accounts.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Agentzon\n\n1. Search with GET /api/products. Use only items with checkoutAvailable true and a non-null unitAmount, because a null price means unavailable, never free\n2. Send every item and quantity in one POST /api/checkout, with a new Idempotency-Key for each purchase attempt and the same key only to retry that basket\n3. Show the buyer the product image from /api/products/{id}/image and get their approval before opening the checkout URL\n4. Tell the buyer that catalogue prices exclude sales tax, that shipping is U.S. only and that change-of-mind returns exclude hygiene and food items\n5. Keep the checkout URL and the orderToken private. A paid status confirms payment, not shipment\n\n### Medusa API + MCP\n\n1. Send x-publishable-api-key on every /store call. It decides which sales channels and products the agent sees\n2. Ask for only the fields you need with `fields`. Store routes reject relations nested more than three deep since 2.20.0\n3. Read the store's regions before creating a cart, since prices and shipping options depend on region\n4. Place the order with POST /store/carts/{id}/complete after shipping and payment sessions are set\n5. Read the release notes before upgrading a minor version. Breaking changes land there\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Agentzon or Medusa API + MCP?\n\nMedusa API + MCP scores 63.5 (B) on agent readiness against Agentzon's 51.4 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
