Our Approach to AI

AI-ready, not AI-required.

NovoVendi is a WooCommerce multi-store management platform — not an AI product. We do not ship built-in AI features. Instead, we expose a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint so you can connect your own AI tools when and how you want.

How You Can Use AI With NovoVendi

Three ways to think about AI on the platform. Every option is optional — and the AI itself always comes from you, not us.

No AI
Use NovoVendi as a manual dashboard

You want a powerful WooCommerce management platform without involving AI at all. NovoVendi works exactly the same way — every feature is available, no AI required.

  • Full dashboard with manual controls
  • Bulk operations and config management
  • Drift detection and site health monitoring
  • Complete audit trail and reporting
  • Nothing to disable — no AI runs unless you connect one yourself
Bring Your Own AI
Connect the AI tools you already use

You already use Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant. NovoVendi exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint so your AI tool can read store data and run actions on your behalf — using your own AI subscription and your own credentials.

  • Connect any MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, custom agents, etc.)
  • Your AI tool calls NovoVendi APIs — we do not run AI on your behalf
  • You pay your AI provider directly — no AI usage cost from NovoVendi
  • Per-token permissions: your AI gets only the access you grant
  • Full audit trail of every AI-initiated action
Build Your Own Workflows
Pipe NovoVendi into automated agents

You have an engineering team or in-house automation. Use NovoVendi as the data and control layer for whatever AI agent or LLM pipeline you have built — we are the platform, you bring the intelligence.

  • MCP endpoint for advanced agentic workflows
  • REST APIs for custom integrations
  • Webhooks for event-driven automations
  • Bring any model: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, or your own
  • Open standard — no vendor lock-in to any AI provider

Our AI Principles

These aren't marketing slogans. They reflect how the platform is actually built — and what we deliberately chose not to build.

AI Is Not Built In

NovoVendi does not ship with built-in AI features. Anomaly detection, smart suggestions, automated remediation — none of that is provided by us. The platform is fully functional without any AI at all.

AI-Ready by Design

We expose a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint and clean REST APIs so you can connect your own AI tools — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or custom agents — when and how you want.

We Meet You Where You Are

Whether you manage 2 stores or 200, whether you use AI every day or never — NovoVendi works the same way. You decide if AI is part of your workflow.

You Own the AI Relationship

When you connect an AI tool to NovoVendi, you control the credentials, the data scope, and the subscription. We do not sit between you and your AI provider.

Your Data Stays Yours

NovoVendi does not send your store data to any AI provider on its own. If you choose to connect an AI tool via MCP, that tool will see whatever you authorize — and nothing more.

Transparent & Auditable

Every action taken through the MCP endpoint or our APIs is logged in the audit trail. If an AI agent ran a bulk operation, you will see exactly what it did and when.

MCP — Model Context Protocol

Plug Your Own AI Tools Into NovoVendi

NovoVendi implements an MCP server — an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools and data. You bring the AI; we provide the data and the controls.

Connect Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible client
AI clients you authorize can query store data and execute actions
Fine-grained permissions — the AI gets only the access you grant
Full audit trail of every AI-initiated action
You pay your AI provider directly — no markup from NovoVendi
Open standard: no vendor lock-in to any specific AI provider

MCP is optional. NovoVendi works perfectly as a standard manual dashboard with no AI connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does NovoVendi include built-in AI features?

No. NovoVendi is a WooCommerce multi-store management platform — not an AI product. We do not provide anomaly detection, smart suggestions, automated remediation, or AI-generated analytics. The platform is fully functional without any AI involved.

How does NovoVendi support AI then?

NovoVendi is AI-ready: we expose a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint plus REST APIs and webhooks. If you want AI in your workflow, you connect your own AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, a custom agent, anything MCP-compatible — and that tool talks to NovoVendi using your credentials.

Does using AI cost extra?

NovoVendi does not charge for AI usage because we do not provide the AI. If you connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI tool via MCP, you pay your AI provider directly under your own subscription. Our pricing covers the platform itself — store connections, dashboards, bulk operations, audit trails — not AI tokens or model calls.

Is my store data used to train AI models?

No. NovoVendi does not train AI models on your data, and we do not send your data to any AI provider on our own. If you connect an external AI tool via MCP, that tool will see whatever data you authorize through your credentials and permissions — its data handling is governed by your agreement with that AI provider, not by NovoVendi.

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools and data sources. NovoVendi implements an MCP server so that AI clients (like Claude Desktop or your own agents) can read store data and trigger actions on your behalf — with full audit logging and the permissions you configure. MCP is optional. If you do not use it, NovoVendi works as a standard manual dashboard.

Will I be forced to use AI features?

No — there are no AI features to use unless you bring your own. NovoVendi works as a standard WooCommerce management dashboard out of the box. AI integration via MCP is something you opt into by connecting an external AI client.

Your AI. Your Rules.

NovoVendi is the WooCommerce management platform that works with whatever AI workflow you choose — including none at all.
