## Description

You can stop digging through raw transaction logs to figure out if your customers are actually coming back. This MCP connects your AI client to your ecommerce data so you can ask direct questions about customer behavior. You can use it to see exactly how many people are returning to shop again or to identify your most valuable customers based on their order history. It handles the math for period-over-period growth, making it easy to see if your retention is improving or slipping. Instead of building complex pivot tables, you just ask your agent for the numbers. It's built for anyone who needs to monitor loyalty metrics and customer lifetime value through a natural language interface.
