CommerceVault EDD MCP Server

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

CommerceVault (mcp-edd-analytics-vantage) is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides structured access to Easy Digital Downloads (EDD) APIs for sales analytics, product management, customer data, and license/entitlement tracking. It acts as a middleware orchestrator between AI agents and WordPress EDD installations, exposing REST endpoints through a standardized interface.

What It Does

• Product Catalog Access: Query, filter, and synchronize digital product listings with pricing, categories, and metadata
• Order Management: Retrieve order history, payment status, fulfillment data, and refund information
• Customer Analytics: Access customer profiles, lifetime value, purchase frequency, and segmentation data
• Sales Reporting: Real-time analytics for revenue, GMV, AOV, churn rate, and cohort analysis
• License Management: Track license keys, activation codes, and entitlement tiers for digital products
• Webhook Integration: Bidirectional event relay for order completions, refunds, and customer updates

Installation

Real-World Examples

Example 1: Daily Sales Dashboard

async function generateDailySalesDashboard(date) {
  // Fetch today's orders
  const orders = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_orders", {
    date_start: date,
    date_end: date,
    status: "completed"
  });

  // Calculate metrics
  const totalRevenue = orders.reduce((sum, order) => sum + order.total, 0);
  const avgOrderValue = totalRevenue / orders.length;

  // Get top products
  const productSales = {};
  orders.forEach(order => {
    order.items.forEach(item => {
      productSales[item.product_id] = (productSales[item.product_id] || 0) + item.quantity;
    });
  });

  // Get refunds
  const refunds = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_orders", {
    date_start: date,
    date_end: date,
    status: "refunded"
  });

  return {
    date,
    totalOrders: orders.length,
    totalRevenue,
    avgOrderValue,
    refundCount: refunds.length,
    topProducts: Object.entries(productSales)
      .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
      .slice(0, 5)
  };
}

Example 2: Customer Lifetime Value Analysis

async function analyzeCustomerLTV(customerIds) {
  const results = [];

  for (const customerId of customerIds) {
    const customer = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "get_customer", {
      customer_id: customerId,
      include_purchases: true
    });

    const orders = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_orders", {
      customer_id: customerId,
      status: "completed"
    });

    const ltv = orders.reduce((sum, order) => sum + order.total, 0);
    const firstPurchase = orders[orders.length - 1]?.date;
    const daysSinceFirst = Math.floor(
      (new Date() - new Date(firstPurchase)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)
    );

    results.push({
      customerId,
      email: customer.email,
      ltv,
      orderCount: orders.length,
      avgOrderValue: ltv / orders.length,
      daysSinceFirst,
      purchaseFrequency: orders.length / (daysSinceFirst / 30) // orders per month
    });
  }

  return results.sort((a, b) => b.ltv - a.ltv);
}

Example 3: License Management Automation

async function renewExpiredLicenses() {
  const licenses = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_licenses", {
    status: "expired",
    expiry_date_end: new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0]
  });

  const renewalResults = [];

  for (const license of licenses) {
    try {
      // Get customer info
      const customer = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "get_customer", {
        customer_id: license.customer_id
      });

      // Create renewal order
      const renewal = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "create_order", {
        customer_id: license.customer_id,
        products: [{
          product_id: license.product_id,
          price: license.renewal_price
        }],
        license_renewal: license.license_key
      });

      renewalResults.push({
        license: license.license_key,
        customer: customer.email,
        status: "renewed",
        orderId: renewal.order_id
      });
    } catch (error) {
      renewalResults.push({
        license: license.license_key,
        status: "failed",
        error: error.message
      });
    }
  }

  return renewalResults;
}

Common Patterns

Caching Strategy

// Enable cache for frequently accessed data
const getCachedProduct = async (productId) => {
  const cacheKey = `product:${productId}`;
  
  const cached = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "cache_get", {
    key: cacheKey
  });
  
  if (cached) return cached;
  
  const product = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "get_product", {
    product_id: productId
  });
  
  await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "cache_set", {
    key: cacheKey,
    value: product,
    ttl: 3600
  });
  
  return product;
};

Pagination Handling

async function getAllOrders(filters) {
  let page = 1;
  let allOrders = [];
  let hasMore = true;

  while (hasMore) {
    const response = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_orders", {
      ...filters,
      page,
      per_page: 100
    });

    allOrders = allOrders.concat(response.orders);
    hasMore = response.has_more;
    page++;
  }

  return allOrders;
}

Webhook Verification

function verifyWebhookSignature(payload, signature) {
  const crypto = require('crypto');
  const hmac = crypto.createHmac('sha256', process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET);
  const computed = hmac.update(JSON.stringify(payload)).digest('hex');
  
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(signature),
    Buffer.from(computed)
  );
}

// In webhook handler
app.post('/webhooks/edd', (req, res) => {
  const signature = req.headers['x-edd-signature'];
  
  if (!verifyWebhookSignature(req.body, signature)) {
    return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
  }
  
  // Process webhook
  processEDDEvent(req.body);
  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors

Problem: 401 Unauthorized responses

Solution: Verify API credentials and endpoint URL

// Test authentication
const test = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "test_connection", {});
console.log(test); // Should return { connected: true, api_version: "2.0" }

Rate Limiting

Problem: 429 Too Many Requests errors

Solution: Enable adaptive rate limiting in config

// config/adapter.json
{
  "rate_limiting": {
    "enabled": true,
    "strategy": "adaptive",
    "max_retries": 3,
    "backoff_multiplier": 2
  }
}

Cache Invalidation

Problem: Stale data returned from cached queries

Solution: Manually invalidate cache on updates

// After updating a product
await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "update_product", {
  product_id: 123,
  price: 49.99
});

// Invalidate cache
await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "cache_delete", {
  key: `product:123`
});

Webhook Delivery Failures

Problem: Webhooks not being received

Solution: Check webhook endpoint configuration and firewall rules

# Test webhook endpoint
curl -X POST https://your-app.com/webhooks/edd \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-EDD-Signature: test" \
  -d '{"event": "test"}'

Data Synchronization Issues

Problem: Orders missing or out of sync

Solution: Use delta sync with timestamps

const lastSync = await getLastSyncTimestamp();

const newOrders = await mcp.callTool("commercevault-edd", "list_orders", {
  date_start: lastSync,
  date_end: new Date().toISOString()
});

await saveLastSyncTimestamp(new Date());
