Unlock agentic power in StoreConnect: Build fast, scale smart, with MCP

What used to take weeks, now takes hours. Connect an agent to a store and use plain language prompts to build whole sites. No need for a front-end developer or designer. Prompt. Build. Repeat. Scale.

This does not just enhance how you work in StoreConnect. It changes how fast you can deliver value to clients, and how easily you can show them a proof of concept and a real working model.

Build with confidence on an agent-first foundation

StoreConnect is built directly on a solid Salesforce foundation. That means no disconnected data silos, no sync delays, and no middleware layers to worry about.

Now that AI agents can access and act in StoreConnect, this foundation gives agents and users a distinct advantage. They can reach in through a store’s MCP to ask for insights and update almost anything in a store, fast.

Here’s how it works.

• AI agents. Work with your preferred tool, including Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, Grok, and more.
• MCP access. Every StoreConnect store in every Salesforce organization has its own MCP. An MCP is a gateway through which authorized agents can act.
• Agent skills. Skills teach your agent how StoreConnect works. You provide these to your agent so it knows what to do.
• Permissions. Set up store roles to manage scoped permissions linked to a user, and to manage and limit what an agent can do.

This changes everything. You don’t ask an agent how to do something, you ask the agent to do it for you.

Get started with agents in StoreConnect

Just three steps, and they will take you less than an hour.

1. Get the skills. These live in the StoreConnect AI GitHub repo. Add them directly to your agent as a plugin, or use the skills as an open package.
2. Set up permissions. Add a store user in the org you want to access, and set scopes for allowing and limiting agent access.
3. Access your store. Initiate access to your store via MCP and sign in with a user token to enable agent permissions.

You’re now ready to start prompting.

AI agents bring new possibilities and opportunities

Imagine telling an AI agent to build a whole StoreConnect store based on an existing business’s store URL, and having it go directly to work.

This has actually happened.

In a recent demonstration, StoreConnect CEO Mikel Lindsaar provided a commerce store URL — a Shopify store — to an agent, and asked it to clone the site and create a fully functional store in StoreConnect.

The agent completed the task in approximately six hours, and it did a very thorough job. Work that would traditionally take a team weeks was compressed into hours.

But the possibilities go beyond making development faster. This changes the whole economics of project delivery.

• Proof of concept in a day. Reduce the manual work involved in development, configuration, and demo creation. Make a proof of concept in a day. Have a fully working site in two days. Generate two to three sites a week.
• Up to 90% lower labor costs. Automating repetitive implementation work creates significant opportunities to improve project margins and take on more work without simply adding more people.
• AI with guardrails. Agents can generate preview URLs for design and theme changes, while write actions move through human approval workflows before reaching production. AI can do the work while your team remains in control.
• Faster demo to deployment. Clone, configure, customize, and iterate rapidly rather than starting every implementation from scratch.
• Reduced API credit burn. StoreConnect’s MCP allows deep queries and development workflows to run directly against the Salesforce platform. Pay once using your agent tokens, not twice with Salesforce’s API layer.

MCP is not just another integration. It gives delivery teams a new way to interact with StoreConnect — one where AI can understand the environment, perform work, and iterate alongside the implementation team.

This fundamentally changes how commerce projects are scoped, priced, and delivered.

Win market share and solve complex commerce issues with agents

StoreConnect partners are increasingly being asked to help clients move away from fragmented commerce stacks. Shopify, legacy POS platforms, disconnected payment systems, and specialist applications can all create data silos and lead to additional integration work.

The gains that AI agents provide to partners include bringing complex commerce requirements into Salesforce while making implementation faster and more repeatable.

That opens the door to both win-back opportunities and entirely new commerce projects.

You can include rich descriptions in projects you develop with agents, and ask them to help you meet complex business requirements, such as:

• Complex business models. Support for B2B, B2C, D2C, subscriptions, memberships, donations, bookings, and other specialized commerce requirements, without forcing the client into a rigid commerce model.
• Enterprise POS. Describe the scope of replacing legacy POS platforms across large retail networks, with commerce and POS connected directly to Salesforce.
• Deeper personalization. Refer to specific Salesforce and custom objects and fields to build highly tailored commerce experiences, recommendations, and customer journeys.
• Security and compliance. Ensure support for compliance requirements including HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and PCI DSS.
• SEO-preserving migrations. Implement route mapping and redirects to protect existing search visibility when migrating from another commerce platform.

The bigger opportunity is not replacing another storefront. It’s making complex commerce easy, repeatable, and profitable.

Try it out on your own site first

The best way to understand how all this works is to try it for yourself, on your own site.

Here’s how.

1. Claim your Partner Single Store License. Register for your free single-store partner license (qualification requirements apply) and create your sandbox environment. Get your Partner Single Store License
2. Get MCP access. Register for access and start experimenting with the MCP server. Register for MCP early access
3. Migrate your own site. Clone or migrate your company website using MCP and the StoreConnect AI skills. Experience the difference for yourself before introducing it to a client.
4. Turn it into a service. Once you understand the workflow, package rapid, fixed-price migrations and implementation services for clients running on legacy commerce platforms.

The future of commerce delivery is here

The opportunity for StoreConnect partners is huge. Agents change the speed and economics of commerce delivery.

Build faster. Automate more. Take on more complex projects. Improve margins. Give your clients a commerce foundation that is ready for the agentic future.

StoreConnect and MCP make that possible now.
