MCP connections let daoco read and write data in your commerce and site tools through governed connections. You connect providers once on Connections, then inspect or update store and site data from brand chat with /mcp or natural language. Writes use the scopes you grant at connect time. daoco proposes changes in chat first; for SEO or live content updates, confirm the exact diff before anything is published or mutated on the provider.

​
Before you start

Enable MCP connections for your workspace in Preview Features. Without that opt-in, the MCP tab and /mcp slash command do not appear.

Who provides each MCP server

ProviderMCP serverWhat that means
Shopify Admindaoco-hosted Shopify Admin MCPBuilt and operated by daoco for DAOCO workspaces. Curated tools for catalog, merchandising, inventory, SEO, metafields, bulk updates, and store summaries. Connect with your your-store.myshopify.com domain and Admin API OAuth.
SquareSquare-hosted remote MCP (Square MCP docs)Official Square Model Context Protocol server at mcp.squareup.com. daoco connects over OAuth with the scopes you approve. Tool surface follows Square’s API catalog (items, orders, customers, payments, sites, and more).
WordPressWordPress.com-hosted MCP (WordPress.com MCP docs)Official WordPress.com MCP at public-api.wordpress.com. Requires a WordPress.com account with MCP enabled on your profile. Access matches your WordPress.com role and the read/write tools you enable there.
Square and WordPress are third-party MCP servers. daoco does not operate those endpoints; we broker OAuth, route delegated chat runs, and enforce approval rules on top of their tools.
Some providers may show as unavailable in Add MCP if they are not configured for your daoco environment yet.

Provider capabilities

​
Shopify Admin (daoco)

Typical read workflows:
  • List or search products, collections, locations, inventory levels, and metafields.
  • Pull product SEO, media, variant, and merchandising summaries.
  • Run aggregate product, inventory, and store-summary analytics.
Typical write workflows (when OAuth scopes allow):
  • Create, update, or delete products and collections.
  • Update product SEO titles and descriptions.
  • Adjust variants, options, inventory quantities, and tags.
  • Set or delete metafields; run bounded bulk product updates (often with a preview step before execution).
Shopify OAuth in daoco requests Admin API read and write scopes for products, inventory, content, online store pages, files, price rules, discounts, and order reads. Narrower scopes at connect time limit which writes the assistant can perform.

​
Square (Square-provided)

Square’s MCP exposes their REST API through tools such as service discovery and API requests. In practice, teams use it for:
  • Catalog — items, categories, and related catalog data.
  • Orders and payments — order lookup, checkout-related data, refunds, and payment context.
  • Customers — customer profiles, groups, and segments.
  • Merchant operations — locations, inventory, invoices, loyalty, team, and Square Online sites where applicable.
daoco’s Square connection requests read and write scopes for items, orders, and customers (ITEMS_*, ORDERS_*, CUSTOMERS_*). The exact API calls available depend on Square’s MCP tool catalog and your authorized scopes. See Square’s MCP documentation for the full service list and beta status.

​
WordPress (WordPress.com-provided)

WordPress.com MCP tools are grouped around site content and configuration. Common areas include:
  • Content authoring — create and update posts and pages (role-dependent).
  • Site editor context — inspect site structure and editor-related context.
  • Posts search and post details — find and read content across connected sites.
  • Site statistics — traffic and performance summaries where your role allows.
  • Site settings, users, comments, plugins — available primarily for administrators.
Enable MCP and choose read/write tools on your WordPress.com MCP settings before connecting in daoco. Tool access follows WordPress.com’s MCP tools reference and your user role on each site.

​
Connect an MCP provider

1

Open Connections

Go to Connections from the manage sidebar.
2

Switch to MCP

Select the MCP tab (next to social accounts).
3

Add MCP

Click Add MCP and choose a provider.
4

Complete OAuth

For Shopify Admin, enter your shop domain, then authorize in the popup window. For Square or WordPress, follow the provider OAuth flow.
5

Confirm status

After redirect, verify the connection shows as healthy on the MCP tab. Review granted scopes for Shopify when shown.

​
Manage MCP connections

On the MCP tab you can:
  • View health: See whether a connection is healthy, retrying, or needs reconnect.
  • Review scopes: For Shopify, see which Admin API scopes were granted.
  • Reconnect: Re-authorize if tokens expire or the provider revokes access.
  • Disconnect: Remove a connection you no longer need.
daoco does not expose raw API tokens in chat. Queries run through approved MCP servers for your organization.

​
Read vs write in chat

ActionHow it works
ReadAsk for reports, lookups, audits, or summaries. The assistant uses MCP tools to fetch current provider data.
WriteAsk to create, update, delete, or publish on the provider. The assistant uses write-capable MCP tools only when your connection scopes allow it and your message clearly requests that change.
SEO or live content changesThe assistant maps URLs to real resources, shows a proposed diff, and waits for your explicit approval before applying changes on Shopify, Square, or WordPress.
/mcp List my top Shopify products by inventory and suggest a restock post for low-stock items.

/mcp Update SEO title and description for product [id] — show me the diff before saving.

/mcp What collections exist in my Shopify store? Summarize them for a homepage refresh.

/mcp Show recent WordPress posts and draft three social captions from the newest article.

/mcp List open Square orders from the last 7 days and flag unusually large baskets.
You can also ask naturally when the request is clearly about connected store or site data; /mcp is a fast way to start that kind of work.
/mcp appears in the slash menu only when MCP connections is enabled for your workspace.

​
Limits and safety

  • Work runs through delegated, governed MCP access—not arbitrary third-party servers you paste into chat.
  • Only Shopify, Square, and WordPress connections you set up on the MCP tab can be used.
  • Scopes matter: connect-time OAuth scopes define which read and write tools are allowed.
  • Human approval: destructive or live SEO/content changes expect explicit confirmation in the thread before daoco applies them on the provider.
  • daoco does not show raw API tokens in chat; tokens stay on the connection record and MCP transport layer.

​
Troubleshooting

I do not see the MCP tab or /mcp
  • Confirm MCP connections is enabled under Preview Features and saved.
  • Refresh the page after saving.
OAuth popup blocked
  • Allow popups for daoco in your browser, then try Add MCP again.
Connection shows degraded or reconnect required
  • Open Connections → MCP and reconnect the provider.
  • For Shopify, confirm the shop domain and that required Admin scopes were granted.
Square or WordPress unavailable in Add MCP
  • The provider may not be configured for your deployment yet. Contact support@daoco.org if you expect it to be available.
Chat says no MCP server is available
  • Connect at least one healthy MCP provider on the MCP tab before using /mcp.
Social publishing still uses social accounts on the Social accounts tab. MCP connections are separate from X, Instagram, TikTok, and other social OAuth.
