Abicart Is Live in Cogny: Orders, Revenue and Catalog for Your Agent
Abicart (the platform formerly known as Textalk Webshop) runs a large share of small and mid-sized Swedish webshops — and until today none of that data was reachable from a Cogny agent. Now it is. Abicart is a live MCP integration, joining Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix as the fourth e-commerce platform in the catalog.
No OAuth dance, no developer app: one admin API token from the Abicart admin, pasted once into Settings → Cogny Managed MCPs. The token is bound to your webshop, so there is no shop id to look up.
TL;DR
- Abicart is live now. Connect it with an API token from your warehouse Settings → Cogny Managed MCPs.
- 31 tools across shop settings, catalog, orders, customers and discounts. 23 are reads; the 7 writes (
update_article,create_article,update_article_group,update_order,update_customer,create_discount,update_discount) run behind Cogny's standard approval gate. No deletes, no checkout, no payment capture. - Two aggregation tools do the heavy lifting server-side:
get_sales_summarypages through every order in a window and returns orders, revenue ex/inc VAT, shipping and average order value per day, ISO week or month in your base currency;get_top_articlesranks best sellers by revenue, quantity or order count. - Multi-currency shops are handled: foreign-currency orders are converted with the exchange rate Abicart stores on each order at purchase time, and native amounts are reported per currency alongside.
- The
ecommercescheduled template now recommends itself for Abicart shops, same as Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix. - Works from any MCP client on
app.cogny.com/mcp, and from Bash via the Cogny CLI. - Included in Cogny Solo ($9/mo); bring your own agent and the standard MCP tools run under fair use.
What you can do with it
| Area | What Claude can do |
|---|---|
| Sales | Sum orders and revenue per day/week/month in the shop's base currency; count orders by window and status; rank best-selling articles |
| Orders | List and filter orders by date, payment status, delivery status, currency or customer; read full orders with line items, payments, delivery and shipments |
| Catalog | Search articles, filter by group / visibility / change date, read prices per currency, stock, SEO meta and descriptions per language; walk the article-group tree |
| Customers | List and count customers by registration date, newsletter opt-in or group |
| Discounts & setup | List active discounts, delivery and payment methods, shop settings (languages, currencies, VAT) |
| Writes (approval-gated) | Update article prices, stock, names, descriptions and SEO meta per language; update article-group SEO; tag or annotate orders; pause or create discounts |
In plain terms: "How did revenue per week trend since August, and how much of it was NOK orders?" "Which ten articles sold best in the last 30 days?" "Which reserved orders from this week are still unsent?" "Which visible articles are missing a meta description in Swedish?" The answers come straight from Abicart's JSON-RPC API, not a CSV export.
Why the aggregation tools matter
Abicart's API pages orders at 500 per call and has no reporting endpoint. An agent that tries to compute monthly revenue by listing orders burns its context window on line items it doesn't need. get_sales_summary and get_top_articles do that loop inside the proxy instead — up to 10,000 orders per call — and hand the agent a few hundred bytes of totals. The ecommerce template is written to reach for them first.
Two ways in: chat or scheduled
Ask interactively from any MCP client, or enable the ecommerce template (E-Commerce Performance Signals) as a scheduled prompt — it now recognizes Abicart alongside Shopify, WooCommerce and Wix and maps its phases onto the Abicart tools automatically.
Prefer the terminal? The Abicart CLI page shows every tool as a npx @cogny/cli tools call one-liner an agent can script.
How to connect it
- Log in to the Abicart admin for the webshop and open the API tokens page.
- Create a token (name it e.g. Cogny) and copy the value in the Token column.
- In your warehouse Settings → Cogny Managed MCPs, click Connect on the Abicart card and paste it.
The token is stored encrypted, sent only as the auth context parameter to admin.abicart.se/backend/jsonrpc/v1/, and scoped to the single workspace. Disconnect any time with one click. Abicart's own docs are clear that these tokens grant administrator rights to the shop — treat them like a password, and revoke the token in the Abicart admin if you ever stop using Cogny.
On trust
Every tool carries MCP behavior annotations, so Cogny's UI and Claude.ai connectors know which ones read and which ones write. The seven write tools patch only the properties you name; validate_article dry-runs a change against Abicart's schema before update_article saves it. Deletes, checkout, payment capture, shipping and account methods are not exposed — the call_method escape hatch for the rest of the API blocks them explicitly.
If your shop — or your client's — runs on Abicart, this is the connector that puts it on the same footing as the Shopify and WooCommerce stores in your portfolio. Connect it from your Cogny dashboard and ask your first question.
