No server-side cart or checkout. Orders only come from the browser widget.\n\n**Swell.** Live /:models schema with field types and descriptions for every store. One full-access secret key per environment, with no scoped or read-only key.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Swell\n\n1. Call GET /:models once and cache it. It's the ground truth for custom fields\n2. Check `result.errors` after every write. A failed validation still returns 200\n3. Use `$set` to replace an array. A plain PUT merges arrays by element id and never shrinks them\n4. Use an sk_test_ key while testing. A bare sk_ prefix is live\n5. Keep `expand` and `include` small. Each level past the first three points adds rate-limit weight\n\n## Other comparisons with Snipcart API + MCP or Swell\n\n- [BigCommerce API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bigcommerce-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [BigCommerce API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bigcommerce-vs-swell.md)\n- [Commerce Layer API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commerce-layer-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Commerce Layer API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/commerce-layer-vs-swell.md)\n- [Elastic Path API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elastic-path-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Elastic Path API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/elastic-path-vs-swell.md)\n- [Medusa API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medusa-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Medusa API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medusa-vs-swell.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Saleor API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/saleor-vs-swell.md)\n- [Shopify API + MCP vs Snipcart API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/shopify-vs-snipcart.md)\n- [Shopify API + MCP vs Swell](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/shopify-vs-swell.md)\n- [Snipcart API + MCP vs Vendure](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/snipcart-vs-vendure.md)\n- [Snipcart API + MCP vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/snipcart-vs-woocommerce.md)\n- [Swell vs Vendure](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/swell-vs-vendure.md)\n- [Swell vs WooCommerce API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/swell-vs-woocommerce.md)\n",
