Medusa Overview
The Medusa MCP server connects AI clients to the Medusa v2 Admin API for store operations and analytics. It provides read tools for orders, customers, products, inventory, promotions, catalog data, sales, customer behavior, and restocking, alongside write tools for supported management workflows. A generic Admin API request tool covers endpoints without dedicated tools, with read-only and blocked-operation safeguards. Use it when an MCP client needs structured access to a Medusa store, including local stdio or remote Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1.
Primary Use Cases for Medusa:
- Review orders, payments, refunds, and returns
- Analyze sales and customer trends
- Forecast inventory replenishment needs
- Update products, prices, promotions, and stock
