Shopcore AI API gives an agent access only to documented store actions. It does not expose Python, the database, the file system, or backend access. MCP is not required: give a trusted agent the complete prompt shown during onboarding.
The prompt contains the exact Hive URL, key identifier, and token for your store. Access can later be managed under Site settings → AI agent access.
GET https://<your-hive-host>/ai/v1/methods/
Authorization: Bearer <your-token>
POST https://<your-hive-host>/ai/v1/invoke/
Authorization: Bearer <your-token>
Content-Type: application/json
{"method": "system.status", "params": {}}
Use the exact URL included in the Shopcore prompt. The current catalogue describes available method names, parameters, and risk levels. Initial methods include system.status, product list/details, page list, and site-name update.
Start with read-only, lower-risk methods and verify the store context before changing anything. API responses include status, store context, and a request_id; calls are recorded in the audit log.
401 means invalid credentials, 403 means access or billing is blocked, and 404 means a method or resource was not found.AI API is available on current plans except Start; Personal follows its trial terms.
