UCP Catalog

Let AI shopping agents find and read your catalog the way they expect to, so your products are on the table when an assistant shops for a customer. The extension answers the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) 2026-08-25 catalog binding from your own store: discovery, search, batch lookup and product detail, with the same guest prices and availability your storefront shows, and nothing else. Checkout stays yours.

Latest version: 1.0.0 — changelog

The business profile an agent receives at /.well-known/ucp, formatted for reading

Who it's for

  • Merchants onboarding AI shopping platforms that speak UCP protocol version 2026-08-25: the module negotiates exactly that version and refuses older profiles.
  • Stores selling in several markets: the catalog is switched on per store view, and every price is quoted in that store view's currency.
  • Catalogs built on simple, virtual, downloadable and configurable products with Magento Inventory (MSI) stock, which is where availability comes from.
  • Teams that need agent access to be read-only: the profile advertises catalog capabilities only, never carts, checkout, payments or orders.

Why it matters

  • Agents discover your catalog at a standard address, /.well-known/ucp, with no integration project on your side.
  • The price an agent quotes is the guest price on your product page, to the minor unit, so a customer who arrives from an assistant sees no surprise.
  • Only platforms you have onboarded get data: an unknown agent profile is refused with HTTP 424, and the module never fetches a URL an agent supplies.
  • Nothing to host or schedule: no cron job, no queue consumer, no sessions. The endpoints are stateless and answer from your existing store.
  • Switch it off for one store view and that store view's discovery and catalog endpoints go offline at once, while the others keep serving.

See it in action

  • You set a product's price to 12.34 USD on a store view. You get an agent reading {"amount":1234,"currency":"USD"} for that product, the same figure the Luma product page shows.
  • You set Enable UCP Catalog to Yes on one store view and leave another on No. You get GET /.well-known/ucp answering the business profile on the first, and HTTP 404 with {"code":"disabled"} on the second.
  • You get correlated batch answers: a lookup for ["ucp-qa-1","missing-sku"] returns the one real product with an inputs entry naming the identifier it matched, plus an info message coded not_found for the other.

What you get

FeatureBenefit
Enable catalog access for a store viewOpen the catalog to agents market by market: switch one store view on, keep only the platforms you trust in its profile list, and close it again without touching the others
Verify discovery and agent accessSee what an agent receives before a platform does: the business profile, a product's price in minor units, a batch lookup and a search page with its cursor
Discovery at /.well-known/ucpAgents find each store view's catalog endpoint and the protocol version without you publishing anything by hand
Catalog search (ucp/catalog/search)Agents search by name or SKU text, filter by category and price, and page through results with a cursor that never repeats a product
Batch lookup (ucp/catalog/lookup)Up to 50 SKUs or identifiers per call, deduplicated, each answer correlated to the identifier that matched
Product detail (ucp/catalog/product)Every option value of a configurable product with exists and available flags, and the variant a selection resolves to
Guest price parityTax display, catalog price rules, fixed product tax and currency follow the store view, so quotes match the storefront
Stateless endpointsAgent traffic starts no PHP session and adds no session records

  • No SaaS, no callbacks — the module answers from your Magento installation and never calls a third-party service; unknown agent profiles are refused without a remote fetch.

Good to know

  • Catalog reads only. Carts, checkout, payments, identity linking and orders are not part of this extension, and the discovery profile does not advertise them.
  • Grouped and bundle products are outside this release; simple, virtual, downloadable and configurable products are served.
  • Discovery requires an HTTPS storefront URL, and availability requires Magento Inventory (Magento_InventorySales stays enabled).
  • Text search matches product name and SKU with SQL LIKE; there is no semantic search. Private catalogs and B2B permission extensions need a dedicated eligibility adapter before the catalog is opened to agents.

Supported on PHP 8.1–8.5 with Magento Open Source or Mage-OS on the 2.4 line (magento/framework ^103.0). Adobe Commerce has not been separately qualified.
