WebCake Storefront
Build pages and manage products, orders, and content on the WebCake/StoreCake storefront builder.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http webcake-storefront 'https://store.toolvn.io.vn/mcp' --header 'x-webcake-jwt: <Storefront Bearer JWT (or authenticate via the OAuth flow / ?jwt= link).>' --header 'x-webcake-session-id: <Session id (the builder'\''s wsid).>'

WebCake Storefront MCP
English · Tiếng Việt
Describe a store page in plain words — your AI builds it, validates it, and publishes it to your WebCake storefront.
⭐ If this saves you an afternoon of dragging blocks around, give it a star — every star keeps a solo project alive.
"Build a page for my coffee shop — a hero with a Shop Now button, a product grid, and an order form. Save it and publish."
…and a real, editable page appears on your WebCake/StoreCake site. No dragging blocks, no learning the schema, no hand-writing JSON.
🧩 How it works
This server is the bridge between your AI assistant and your storefront. The AI never guesses what a page looks like — it asks this MCP, which knows the entire BuilderX component model, validates the result, and saves it.

- You ask in plain language — goal, brand, sections, products, form fields.
- The AI learns the model from the MCP: the element catalog, the CSS-grid layout, the breakpoints — so it builds a real storefront page, not a guess.
- It assembles + validates the
{ sections: [...] }page source.validate_pagecatches duplicate ids, broken grids, and form fields without a name before anything is saved. - It saves to your site — dry-run preview first, then for real — and
publish_sitemakes it live. - You get the preview URL — open it, tweak in the editor, done.
Why it's reliable
| 📚 Knows the real model | Serves 130+ BuilderX component types (text, image, button, form, product grid, cart, countdown, gallery…) ported straight from the builder's own factory — the exact same shapes the editor produces. |
| ✅ Validates before saving | Structural checks (unique ids, valid grid, form fields with names, working event targets) so the page isn't broken when it lands. |
| 🛡️ Safe by default | Every write is dry-run first — preview the change, nothing touches your site until you confirm. |
| ✏️ Edits surgically | Ask for one change ("make the CTA green") and it edits only that element — every other id, style, and block stays exactly as it was. |
💡 Selling COD or online? It speaks the full commerce model too — products, variations, cart, orders, promotions, combos.
✨ What you can build
One sentence to your AI → a finished, editable storefront page:
| Just say… | |
|---|---|
| 🛒 Product page | "A one-product page for my skincare serum — gallery, price, an order form with cart." |
| 🏬 Storefront home | "A homepage — hero banner, featured product grid, a newsletter form." |
| ⚡ Flash sale | "A flash-sale page — big countdown, discounted product grid, a sticky Buy button." |
| 🎟️ Event / webinar | "A registration page — countdown, agenda, a sign-up form." |
| 💌 Invitation | "A wedding invite — names, date, a map, an RSVP form." |
| 📰 Blog / content | "A blog index with featured posts and a subscribe box." |
| 🔗 Link-in-bio | "A link-in-bio — avatar, short bio, 5 link buttons, socials." |
…then "make the CTA green" or "add a 4th feature" and it edits only that block.
🤖 Works in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any MCP-capable client — and the build guide + element catalog tools need zero backend calls, so you can explore the model before pasting a token.
Under the hood
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that teaches AI agents the WebCake/StoreCake storefront builder
(BuilderX) component model and connects them to the backend. The AI produces the full { sections: [...] }
page source; build_page creates the page and saves it, and publish_site makes the whole site live.
Beyond page authoring, it exposes your real store: pages & custom code, products, orders, collections, blog articles, promotions, combos, themes, customers, and automation — ~280 tools in total.
| Method | Best for | Auth |
|---|---|---|
| npx (local) — runs on your machine | Personal daily use, full control | browser login, or a token + session |
Remote (serve) — self-host Streamable-HTTP | Teams, the claude.ai dialog, always-on | ?jwt= link / x-webcake-jwt header |
The build + catalog tools (get_build_guide, list_elements, get_element, new_section,
validate_page) work with zero config; everything that reads or writes your site needs a token + session.
🚀 Get connected
Pick one. Both hand your AI tool the full storefront toolkit. No coding.
① npx — runs on your machine (recommended)
Zero install, always the latest version, needs Node.js 18+. One line configures your IDE:
# Interactive — pick your IDE(s) and paste your credentials
npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp install
# Non-interactive — configure every supported IDE at once
npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp install --ide all --token <token> --session <session-id>
# Remove the server from every IDE config
npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp uninstall
Targets: claude-desktop, claude-code, cursor, windsurf, vscode, or all.
Just want to run the server (configure by hand)? npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp.
② Browser login — no token copy/paste
npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp login
Opens the builder's connect page; click Connect and your token + session are saved locally and picked up automatically.
Remote URL — self-hosted, nothing per-client to install
npx -y webcake-storefront-mcp serve --port 8787
Then point any client at http://<host>:8787/mcp?jwt=<TOKEN> (clients that support headers can send
x-webcake-jwt instead; pick the site in chat with switch_site). Server-side secrets like PEXELS_API_KEY
live on the host — handy on a VPS.
⚠️ A
?jwt=link contains your personal token — treat it like a password and use HTTPS in production.
⚙️ Configuration
Two values are required: WEBCAKE_TOKEN (Bearer JWT) and WEBCAKE_SESSION_ID (sent as
x-session-id). You pick the site at runtime — just ask in chat and the AI calls list_my_sites /
switch_site (your choice is saved and reused next session), so no WEBCAKE_SITE_ID is needed.
Base URLs come from a named environment — set WEBCAKE_ENV (or --env) and you never type a URL:
WEBCAKE_ENV | api | app (login) | preview |
|---|---|---|---|
local | http://localhost:24679 | http://localhost:5173 | demo.localhost:24679/<siteId> |
staging | https://api.staging.storecake.io | https://staging.webcake.io | staging2.webcake.me/<siteId> |
prod (default) | https://api.storefront.webcake.io | https://webcake.io | <site_slug>.webcake.me |
Override a preset with WEBCAKE_API_URL / WEBCAKE_APP_URL. Optional, configured server-side:
PEXELS_API_KEY (search_images). Token / session / site can also be set
in chat via update_auth and switch_site — saved to a local config file at ~/.webcake-storefront-mcp/.
How to get your token + session
- Open the WebCake builder and log in.
- Open DevTools (
F12) → Network tab → click any API request. - In Request Headers:
Authorization: Bearer …→WEBCAKE_TOKEN;x-session-id: …→WEBCAKE_SESSION_ID. - No site id needed up front — in chat, run
list_my_sitesthenswitch_siteto choose the site (remembered next time).
🧰 The tools at a glance
~280 tools. The headline group builds pages; the rest read and edit your live store.

| Commerce | products · orders · collections · promotions · combos | token + session |
| Content & store | blog articles · themes / site style · apps · customers · send_mail | token + session |
| Backend code | HTTP-function CRUD (get_http_function, edit_http_function, run_function, debug_function…) | token + session |
| Context | get_current_context · list_my_sites · switch_site · update_auth · toggle_confirm_mode | token |
| Site plans | get_site_subscription (current plan, status, days left) · count_my_sites (by plan / custom domain / trash) · list_plans | token |
Every write defaults to dry_run=true — it previews the exact change and only touches your site when you re-run with dry_run=false.
