Sylius and MCP: give assistants access to your commerce
Merchant challenge
An assistant needs to query real stock, variants and services rather than invent answers or basket actions.
Protocol
MCP (Model Context Protocol) standardises dialogue between AI assistants and tools.
What CartmelAI does
CartmelAI bridges Sylius data and actions with assistant tools: product search, details, variants, basket and tracking, according to activation. Bring channel context and your custom commerce rules into discovery, so the experience reflects the way your Sylius business sells.

What CartmelAI does
CartmelAI maps the Sylius capabilities selected for your project to UCP exchanges, helping compatible platforms understand your offer and how to continue the purchase. Targets include Google AI Mode and Gemini when available to the merchant.

Sylius and ACP: connect checkout to ChatGPT shopping journeys
Merchant challenge
Carry the customer’s buying intent into a coherent checkout while keeping merchant operations in place.
Protocol
Agentic Commerce Protocol standardises checkout exchanges, including basket calculation, availability, delivery, tax and purchase confirmation.
What CartmelAI does
CartmelAI connects the commercial information and actions needed by the activated journey with Sylius and the merchant’s payment services. The merchant keeps control of orders and commercial operations. Make channel context explicit when preparing checkout and passing the order to your Sylius operations.

Payment handled by merchant payment services
Payment details are handled by payment services, not by the catalogue layer. The merchant retains commercial operations.
Complementary layers. Clear destinations.
One assistant can use several complementary layers: tools, interactive interfaces and checkout are different capabilities.

Conversational app and interactive interfaces through MCP Apps. ACP purchase journeys subject to eligibility.

Google AI Mode / Gemini
UCP journeys according to platform availability.
Creating an app is separate from public listing. Connection and distribution follow each platform’s conditions. Google surfaces and integrated checkout depend on merchant eligibility and platform rollout.
Sylius AI chatbot or agentic commerce: what changes?
A Sylius chatbot is the conversational interface. A connected catalogue provides product facts. Agentic commerce adds commercial actions such as basket preparation and order tracking. CartmelAI supplies the technical connection between your store, the tools and the experience.
Connect, configure, test and launch
Connect your Sylius catalogue in CartmelAI, prepare the product data and choose the commercial actions to activate. Configure your app’s experience and channels, test representative customer journeys, then monitor their operation. Your agency can support the integration and your commerce rules; CartmelAI provides the technical connection.
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Sylius to an AI assistant with MCP?
Connect the Sylius data and services to CartmelAI, choose the search and commerce tools, and configure access for a compatible MCP client. Test product queries and activated actions before opening the experience to customers.

CartmelAI connects the basket, purchase and order-tracking functions selected for your integration. Checkout can continue on your store or use an eligible integrated platform journey.
Does creating an app publish it in a public directory?
App creation and configuration are separate from public listing. Distribution and connection follow each platform’s requirements.
Do I need to replace my store or agency?
Keep your Sylius store and commercial operations. Your agency can help prepare the integration, business rules and tests. CartmelAI connects and adapts the catalogue, tools and channels.
