Process Fulfillment Status Updates via MCP Server

The `update_order_status` tool lets your AI client change an order's status. You pass the order ID and a new status like "Shipped" or "Processed," and it updates Snipcart immediately. This is critical for automated fulfillment pipelines. Your agent can check if orders need updating, then run `update_order_status` to reflect physical shipment, keeping your store's records accurate.

Retrieve Specific Customer Information

Need details on one customer? Use the `get_customer_details(customer_id)` tool. It pulls all user data directly from Snipcart into your active context. You can then cross-reference this data with other services. For instance, check a customer's profile before running a discount code through `list_discounts`.

List and Analyze All E-commerce Orders

Start by calling `list_orders()` to get a list of every order. This action retrieves the core data needed for any audit or reporting job. After listing them, you can run other tools like `get_order_details(order_id)` on specific IDs to pull deep insights into what was purchased and when.
