By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent audit of 5,013 websites revealed that only 3.7% are equipped to handle AI agent interactions beyond simple reading. While most sites lack a direct interface for AI agents to perform actions like catalog searches or checkouts, major platforms such as Shopify and Wix have proactively integrated the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for millions of their users.
