Storefront MCP is beta, switched on per store, has no back-office tools and documents no tool annotations.\n\n**Wix Stores and eCommerce API.** The developer docs are served as Markdown with an llms.txt index, and API keys carry permission scopes and a site restriction. No numeric REST rate limit or OpenAPI file was found, and status.wix.com records a platform-wide incident of 3 hours 17 minutes on 1 August 2026. A person must create the account and the key.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### BigCommerce API + MCP\n\n1. Give the agent a store-level API account with only the scopes the task needs, and delete it when done\n2. On a 429, wait X-Rate-Limit-Time-Reset-Ms before retrying\n3. Expect up to 10 minutes after a store owner enables the MCP before the URL answers\n4. The MCP stops at a checkout URL. Payment happens in the shopper's browser\n5. Point a coding agent at the docs MCP at https://docs.bigcommerce.com/_mcp/server\n\n### Wix Stores and eCommerce API\n\n1. Send the API key in `Authorization` with `wix-site-id` for site calls or `wix-account-id` for account calls, never both\n2. Fetch the product first and pass `product.revision` on every Catalogue V3 update, or the call fails with 409\n3. Use Cart V2 for new work. The older eCommerce Cart and Checkout APIs were deprecated on 5 August 2026\n4. Request `cursorPaging.limit` of at most 100 on Query Products and use Search Products for lookups by name\n5. Over MCP, read the method page with `ReadFullDocsArticle` before `CallWixSiteAPI`.
