MerchandAise agent platform

Let agents help. Keep people in control.

Connect an AI assistant to the same design-to-order workflow your buyers use—then grant only the tools it needs and keep every consequential action behind the right confirmation.

Review an agent workflow Explore API contracts

One assistant. One governed workflow.

An assistant can help turn a description or uploaded reference into a supported product direction, product-native 3D view, and supplier-backed price, MOQ and delivery expectations. It should extend the MerchandAise workflow, not create a second source of truth.

The server card and external tool metadata are public for discovery. Each tool call still follows its declared security and workspace boundary, while buyer, proof and production approvals stay visible and attributable.

01 — Contracts

Discover the server. Then request the right access.

MCP discovery and governed tools

Use the public server card and external tools list for machine discovery, then honour each tool’s declared security, workspace and confirmation boundaries when an agent executes it.

From discovery to a governed action

01
Discover safely
Use the public MCP server card and tools list to identify MerchandAise and the current external tool inventory. Discovery alone grants no broad authority to quote, change state or place orders.
02
Grant the least privilege
Authorise only the tools, workspace and environment the assistant needs. Separate read-only exploration from actions that change a design, quote, approval or order state.
03
Confirm before consequence
Keep explicit human confirmation for sensitive actions, test stale-state and refusal behaviour, and prove recovery paths before production traffic is enabled.

What the agent must preserve

One versioned product state

The assistant works against the same design, commerce intent, supplier-backed quote, approval and order state as every other MerchandAise surface.

Commercial and supplier privacy

Where MerchandAise processes the buyer transaction, Hutter Products GmbH is the contracting seller and Merchant of Record under the MerchandAise brand. Private supplier identity, contacts and internal data are not exposed to an agent.

Proof gates stay human

A 3D view is not physical evidence. The confirmed quote explains any available customer-sample choices, costs, limitations, and timing. Approve the exact digital proof and complete mandatory technical checks and any required or selected sample approval before mass production. Existing accepted-order requirements remain binding.

Before an agent reaches production

A discoverable MCP server is only the beginning. Production readiness means the assistant has a bounded role, every consequential action has an owner, and failures return users to a safe state.

Map access by consequence

Classify every tool as read-only, advisory, state-changing, supplier-sensitive or order-affecting before granting it to an assistant.

Name every confirmation owner

Define who confirms product changes, quotes, digital proofs, production samples and orders—and what the assistant does when that person is unavailable.

Observe, refuse, and recover

Test invalid inputs, stale state, missing permissions, refusals, retries, telemetry and rollback paths before live traffic reaches the workflow.

FAQ

What can an AI agent do with MerchandAise?

An authorised assistant can use the tools approved for its workspace and environment, such as product discovery, design or quote guidance, and other explicitly enabled operations. The available tools and their permissions are determined during integration review.

Can an AI agent place orders automatically?

An authorized assistant can use the tools approved for its workspace and environment, such as product discovery, design or quote guidance, and other explicitly enabled operations. The available tools and their permissions are determined during integration review.

Is the MerchandAise MCP integration public?

The MCP server card and current external tool metadata are public for machine discovery. Individual tool calls follow their declared security model, and protected workspace, supplier, enterprise, quote and order operations retain their required authorisation and confirmations.
