Can my AI agent update order statuses — like marking an order as shipped?

Yes. The add_order_history tool pushes a new status entry to any order. Provide the order ID, the OpenCart status ID (e.g., 3 for Shipped), and an optional comment. The status change appears immediately in the admin panel and triggers any configured email notifications.

Does it work with any OpenCart version?

This integration uses the native OpenCart REST API available in OpenCart 2.x and later. If your store is running OpenCart 1.x, the API endpoints won't be available. For OpenCart 3.x and 4.x, the API user setup is the same — just ensure the API user is enabled in System > Users > API.

What about IP restrictions — will the API reject requests?

OpenCart's API enforces an IP whitelist by default. When creating your API user, add the IP address of your server to the 'IP Addresses' tab. If you're running through a cloud proxy, add that proxy's IP. Without this step, all API requests will be rejected with a permission error.

OpenCart + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating OpenCart 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 OpenCart 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.
