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**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### 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### 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, Agentzon or Snipcart API + MCP?\n\nAgentzon scores 51.4 (D) on agent readiness against Snipcart API + MCP's 40.8 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
