Your direct-tools server offers nothing to call

It concerns MCP, the direct tool access. The Model Context Protocol. It lets an assistant call your store's own functions directly instead of driving your website.

Agents can usually carry on, but more slowly or less sure of what they found, and an unsure agent is likelier to recommend another store.

Expose the operations an agent needs — search, product lookup, cart — as MCP tools. A server that handshakes and then offers nothing is a claim without an implementation.

Run the check that reported MCP_TOOLS_EMPTY again after the change. The scan needs no account; an issue found during an AI shopping test needs that test run again.
