The MCP server is experimental until 6.8, and 20 security advisories were published between May and September 2026, four of them critical.\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### Shopware\n\n1. Ask the merchant for an integration without --admin, tied to an ACL role and an MCP allowlist. Send sw-access-key and sw-secret-access-key headers to /api/_mcp\n2. Call shopware-tool-search first, then shopware-toolset-enable, and keep the Mcp-Session-Id header. A fresh session lists only three tools\n3. Pass dryRun=false to commit a write. shopware-media-upload has no dry run and uploads at once\n4. For shopping, call the Store API over HTTP with the sales channel's sw-access-key and keep the sw-context-token. The Store API MCP endpoint has no cart tools in core\n5. Send `includes` in search criteria to cut response size, and read the 429 body for the wait time\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`. Responses are cut at 50,000 characters by default\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Shopware or Wix Stores and eCommerce API?\n\nShopware scores 71.4 (BB) on agent readiness against Wix Stores and eCommerce API's 61.4 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Shopware and Wix Stores and eCommerce API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Shopware and Wix Stores and eCommerce API without installing anything?\n\nNo hosted endpoint is listed for Shopware.
