## AI-native score: Unrated

Research coverage is 35/100. An AI-native grade requires 40/100. The provisional breakdown below shows the AI-native signals recorded so far. The AI-native score measures agent-readiness and is not a substitute for your own security or vendor-risk review. See [methodology](/methodology/) for how coverage and the grade are computed.

## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **Open source** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-19. Checked the hosted Shop MCP product overview for publication of the server source code or a server open-source license. The separately published CLI is outside this server-source check. Source: https://shop.dev/docs
- **Self-hostable** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-19. Checked the deployment description for a self-hosted Shop MCP server option; the overview describes the remote hosted server. Source: https://shop.dev/docs
- **Web-MCP** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-19. Inspected the official Shop MCP documentation index and its linked tools and agent-connection guides for browser WebMCP tool registration. They document the remote MCP server and client setup, but no browser WebMCP integration. Source: https://shop.dev/docs
