AutoID MCP Server v0.3.1

Read-only MCP server over the AutoID canonical WordPress/WooCommerce API.

This release includes the product, offer, grouped-variant and related-product behavior validated with the AutoID canonical API plugin v0.3.9.

MCP tools

• search_products
• get_product_group
• list_product_variants
• get_product
• get_product_offer
• get_related_products
• get_related_products_summary
• search_support
• fetch_support
• autoid_support_health
• autoid_api_health

Source of truth

The MCP server does not read WordPress SQL and does not calculate commercial or compatibility data itself. It reads the canonical API at:

https://www.autoid.ro/wp-json/autoid-ai/v1

Authoritative commercial fields:

• exact SKU MSRP EUR ex VAT: pret_lista
• exact SKU AutoID price EUR ex VAT: pret_autoid_euro
• grouped catalog MSRP from: grp_pret_lista_mic
• grouped catalog AutoID from: grp_pret_autoid_mic
• AutoID stock: stock_autoid
• distribution stock: stock_distributie

For a current exact-SKU price/stock answer, use get_product_offer. For Romanian customer-facing price output, use the canonical ron_display projection and prefer the inc-VAT value. RON is sourced from WooCommerce _regular_price / _sale_price; do not convert authoritative EUR prices into RON inside MCP.

RON display pricing

Canonical API v0.3.9 adds a compact RON projection without changing commercial authority.

Exact SKU cards use pricing.ron_display; exact live offers use price.ron_display. Typical fields are msrp_ex_vat, msrp_inc_vat, autoid_ex_vat, and autoid_inc_vat. Grouped products use FROM fields such as msrp_from_inc_vat and autoid_from_inc_vat.

Rules:

• customer-facing Romanian answer: prefer RON inc_vat
• B2B/ex-VAT context: RON ex_vat may also be shown
• EUR pret_lista / pret_autoid_euro remain the commercial authority
• RON values are WooCommerce storefront display/validation data
• never calculate RON by applying an FX rate to the EUR authority inside MCP

Related-product contract

get_related_products reads:

/wp-json/autoid-ai/v1/relations/{sku-or-model}

Supported relation types:

• accessory - stock-managed
• consumable - stock-managed
• software - not stock-managed
• service_contract - not stock-managed
• all

Compatibility is accepted only from the canonical API's product_tag evidence. WooCommerce product_cat determines whether the related entity is an accessory, consumable, software item or service contract.

For accessories and consumables, MCP defaults to availability=available:

stock_autoid > 0 OR stock_distributie > 0

The canonical API ranks AutoID stock before distribution-only stock. Out-of-stock items are intentionally extra catalog information and are not returned by default. Request availability=out_of_stock or availability=all only when needed.

For large consumable sets, filter using an exact category slug. Validated ZT610 examples include:

• ribboane-imprimanta
• role-de-etichete
• intretinere-imprimante

get_related_products_summary queries availability=all with a one-item page, then returns a compact projection of the canonical summary. Use it for total compatibility counts and out-of-stock counts without loading hundreds of catalog items into MCP context.

Validated datasets

MC9300 full relation graph at validation time:

• 85 accessories
• 23 software entities = 22 exact SKUs + 1 grouped product
• 130 service contracts
• 0 consumables
• 238 related entities total

ZT610 full relation graph at validation time:

• 85 accessories
• 752 consumables
• 29 software entities = 28 exact SKUs + 1 grouped product
• 69 service contracts
• 935 related entities total

ZT610 consumables at validation time:

• 32 with AutoID stock
• 206 supplier-only
• 514 out of stock

These numbers are validation snapshots, not hard-coded production data. MCP always reads the live canonical API.

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• public HTTPS hostname, recommended mcp.autoid.ro
• outbound HTTPS access to www.autoid.ro

No WordPress DB access, WooCommerce API key or WordPress administrator credentials are required.

Fresh install

unzip autoid-mcp-v0.3.1.zip
cd autoid-mcp-v0.3.1
npm install
cp .env.example .env
npm run build
npm run smoke:api
npm start

Environment variables:

AUTOID_API_BASE=https://www.autoid.ro/wp-json/autoid-ai/v1
MCP_PUBLIC_HOST=mcp.autoid.ro
PORT=3000
AUTOID_API_TIMEOUT_MS=15000

The public MCP endpoint is:

https://mcp.autoid.ro/mcp

HTTP process health:

https://mcp.autoid.ro/health

Canonical API readiness check:

https://mcp.autoid.ro/ready

Upgrade from v0.1.0 with systemd

Assuming the live application directory is /opt/autoid-mcp:

sudo systemctl stop autoid-mcp
sudo cp -a /opt/autoid-mcp /opt/autoid-mcp-backup-v0.1.0
sudo rm -rf /opt/autoid-mcp
sudo mkdir -p /opt/autoid-mcp
sudo cp -a ./autoid-mcp-v0.3.1/. /opt/autoid-mcp/
sudo cp /opt/autoid-mcp-backup-v0.1.0/.env /opt/autoid-mcp/.env
cd /opt/autoid-mcp
sudo npm install
sudo npm run smoke:api
sudo npm run build
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/autoid-mcp
sudo cp deploy/autoid-mcp.service /etc/systemd/system/autoid-mcp.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable autoid-mcp
sudo systemctl restart autoid-mcp
sudo systemctl status autoid-mcp

Then verify:

curl -s https://mcp.autoid.ro/health
curl -s https://mcp.autoid.ro/ready

Docker

The included Dockerfile intentionally uses npm install because this release archive does not include a generated lock file.

docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d --build

The container binds only to 127.0.0.1:3000; expose it through the supplied Nginx reverse-proxy configuration.

First MCP validation

After deployment, validate these tool calls in an MCP client:

autoid_api_health({})
get_product_group({ model: "MC9300" })
list_product_variants({ model: "MC9300", availability: "available", limit: 20 })
get_product_offer({ sku: "MC930B-GSHDG4RW" })
get_related_products({ target: "MC9300", relation_type: "accessory", availability: "available", limit: 20 })
get_related_products({ target: "ZT610", relation_type: "consumable", category: "ribboane-imprimanta", availability: "available", limit: 20 })
get_related_products_summary({ target: "ZT610", relation_type: "consumable" })

HestiaCP deployment note

If the host is managed by HestiaCP and a domain template already proxies mcp.autoid.ro to port 3000, do not overwrite Hestia Nginx or Certbot configuration. Replace/build only the application files and restart the existing Node process through the host administrator's preferred supervisor.

Security

v0.3.1 is read-only. It exposes no WordPress credentials and performs no writes. The canonical API remains the data and security boundary.

Before adding write tools such as RFQ creation, add authentication, authorization, audit logging and abuse controls separately.

Public root

Opening https://mcp.autoid.ro/ in a browser returns a small human landing page with links to /health, /ready, and /mcp. The Node process binds to 127.0.0.1:3000 and is intended to be published only through the existing HestiaCP/Nginx reverse proxy.

Support Center tools — v0.3.1

The public endpoint https://mcp.autoid.ro/mcp now exposes the existing catalog tools plus three Support Center tools:

• search_support — search models, manuals, drivers, firmware, software, videos and troubleshooting resources.
• fetch_support — fetch one exact model:<id> or resource:<id> returned by search.
• autoid_support_health — verify the read-only Support Center source.

Support data is proxied from the existing first-party AutoID Support MCP source (AUTOID_SUPPORT_MCP_URL, default https://www.autoid.ro/mcp/). The Node service does not read WordPress SQL, filesystem or admin APIs. Product data continues to come from AUTOID_API_BASE.

search_support is intent-aware in v0.3.1: it merges the original query with model-wide and requested-resource-type searches, deduplicates results, and ranks requested types above generic resources. A multi-intent query such as MC9300 firmware manual should surface both the firmware/LifeGuard entry and the documentation/manual entry before unrelated generic resources.

For chat integrations, the recommended OpenAI Responses API configuration is one read-only remote MCP tool pointing to https://mcp.autoid.ro/mcp, with an explicit allowed_tools list and require_approval: never. Current price/stock questions should use get_product_offer; technical support resources should use search_support followed by fetch_support.
