Building and operating your Medusa store with agents

Medusa is a programmable commerce platform built for developers and agents to create and operate commerce applications.

It's no surprise to anyone that commerce, like most industries, is undergoing a fundamental shift. The workflows that once required humans-in-the-loop, such as building beautiful storesfronts, performing store operations, running ad campaigns, and more, are increasingly being handled by AI agents. We’ve seen this operational approach accelerate in the last months as new powerful models are released from the AI labs.

At Medusa, we're dedicated to enabling these new agentic workflows, whether it be creating bespoke agents for your customer service, building a new product details page, or integrating a new payment provider.

This post showcases some of the capabilities in Medusa’s AI toolbox, including agent skills, an MCP server, a dedicated vibe-coding platform Bloom, and more.

Build unique commerce applications

One of the most powerful things an agent can do with Medusa is build custom commerce features and automations specific to your business. With only a few prompts, you can implement a wishlist feature, a product review system, or an integration with your legacy ERP.

We make this possible by offering skills to coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. The skills give agents knowledge required to build robust commerce functionality with Medusa’s framework. The framework provides a set of primitives to the agent that function as contracts for how the features, integrations, and admin extensions are built directly within your project, as opposed to third-party applications bolted on your stack.

To install these skills and start using them with your agent, run the following command:

npx skills add medusajs/medusa-agent-skills
# choose the following skills:
# - building-with-medusa
# - building-admin-dashboard-customizations

Optimize your storefront

Building your store is the first step. Improving it to one that converts is another.

Medusa’s AI toolbox offers skills that give agents the context to do both. Create a storefront that matches your exact vision, and improve it to follow best practices for moving the needle on conversion, including SEO structure, navigation patterns, high-converting components like megamenus and product details pages.

To install these skills and start using them with your agent, run the following command:

1234
npx skills add medusajs/medusa-agent-skills
# choose the following skills:
# - building-storefronts
# - storefront-best-practices

These skills are agnostic to framework, and even commerce platform, so you can use them regardless of whether you use Next.js or Vite, and running on Medusa or Shopify.

Create agents to operate your store

Beyond building features and storefronts, Medusa's AI toolbox gives you skills to create custom agents that operate and manage your store for you. Create more general-purpose agents to ask questions about how your store is performing or more specific agents to automate product audits or customer service requests.

To install these skills and start using them with your agent, run the following command:

On-demand knowledge with MCP server

Medusa’s AI toolbox comes with an MCP server that enables agents to retrieve information from our documentation while building custom functionality and storefronts.

From marketplaces to payment and fulfillment integrations, agents can retrieve all the information they need to build your features.

To use the MCP server, install it in your AI agent:

What is next

The capabilities we highlight in this post are just the beginning. We’re continuing to expand our toolbox to make Medusa a platform where agents are first-class operators and builders rather than outside contributors.
