How do I find my Akeneo API credentials?

Log in to Akeneo, navigate to **Connect** > **Connection settings**, and create a new connection. You will generate a Client ID, Secret, and a system user with its own Username and Password for the API.

Can I update product attributes via the agent?

Yes! Use the `update_product` tool and provide the product identifier along with the attributes you want to change. Your agent will submit a PATCH request to synchronize the data.

What is the difference between SKU and UUID in Akeneo?

The SKU (identifier) is your internal product code. The UUID is a unique system identifier generated by Akeneo. While both can be used, UUIDs are recommended for permanent links as identifiers can technically be changed.

Akeneo PIM + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Akeneo PIM MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Akeneo PIM tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
