Connect Shopline MCP to OpenAI Agents SDK

Key Capabilities
Process Full Order Lifecycles
The agent can fetch full order records using `get_order_details`. This gives your production system all the necessary data points for fulfillment, from purchase date to shipping status. You'll also use `list_orders` to check recent activity across many orders. It tracks when an order was placed and who bought it.
Manage Store Inventory Data
Need product info? Use `get_product_details` for granular data on any item, including descriptions and pricing. The agent pulls this detail into its workflow. It also accesses `list_products`, letting your system see every single SKU in the shopline store at once.
Track Customer Behavior
The toolset lets you list all customers via `list_customers`. Your agent can build out customer profiles for marketing or support tasks. Plus, `get_shop_info` gives context about the store itself. This helps your agent understand who it's working for.
