Shopping and merchant agent templates land on GitHub
Anthropic published a blueprint for building commerce agents on Claude, so an engineering team can get a shopping or merchant agent running in days instead of scaffolding one from scratch. A Claude Code plugin comes with it.
Retailers already running shopping agents on Claude have seen carts up to 35% larger and shoppers 60% more likely to complete a purchase, Anthropic says. The repo holds working implementations of both: a shopping agent that searches the catalog and builds the cart, and a merchant agent that tracks inventory and drafts promotions, with a person approving changes before they go live.
The code deploys on the Claude API, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry or Google Cloud Vertex AI. The repository is on GitHub as anthropics/commerce-agents.

MCP OAuth tokens sit in plaintext on Linux
Claude Code’s MCP docs promise that tokens are “stored securely”. On Linux that means a plaintext JSON file at mode 0600, and only Anthropic can change that, since the public repo leaves out the core CLI.
