(01) The problem
An established tackle shop ran its entire catalog and order flow manually through the PrestaShop back office. Product updates, stock checks and order status changes ate hours every week, and no one on the team could script against the store's API.
(02) What I did
- 01
Audited the store's API surface and authentication model before promising anything — found and documented the OAuth constraints that had blocked previous attempts.
- 02
Built an MCP-based integration layer exposing products, orders, customers and stock as callable tools.
- 03
Coordinated rollout with the store team: what gets automated first, what stays manual, and how errors surface.
(03) The outcome
Catalog operations (price, stock, product data) now scriptable end-to-end.
Order state changes and customer lookups automated through a single tool layer.
The store team keeps their familiar back office — automation runs alongside, not instead.
