BuyWhere launches self-serve commerce MCP, removing sales gates for AI agents

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

BuyWhere has launched a self-serve commerce MCP (Merchant Category Program) that removes traditional sales gates, allowing AI agents to integrate directly. The platform offers programmatic registration and API access, with free tiers for the first 1,000 requests daily. Key improvements include documented REST and MCP endpoints, reliable free tier quotas, and informative authentication failures, making it easier for tools like Claude Desktop and Cursor+ to access merchant data across Southeast Asia and Australia.
