WooCommerce Ecommerce woocommerce/products-create

Create a new WooCommerce product with a name, price, description, and other catalog attributes.

Requires the WooCommerce plugin active on WordPress 6.9+, with the experimental 'mcp_integration' feature flag enabled (WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Features). Abilities are only registered for requests hitting WooCommerce's own /woocommerce/mcp REST endpoint, and each request must authenticate with a WooCommerce REST API key (consumer_key:consumer_secret) sent via the X-MCP-API-Key header over HTTPS — the key's read/write permission scope must match the HTTP method used.

What it does

This ability creates a new product by dispatching a POST request through the wc/v3/products REST endpoint, using the same creatable schema WooCommerce exposes for that endpoint. Supported fields include name, product type, status, catalog visibility, description and short description, SKU, regular and sale prices, stock management fields, categories, and images, among others. None of these fields are flagged as strictly required in WooCommerce's own schema, so the ability accepts a minimal payload, though a usable product generally needs at least a name and price. The newly created product object is returned in the response.
