Usage & Examples

How to talk to your FluentCart store through AI. 274 tools, plain English. What to ask, how to ask it, and what to expect back.

You're connected. Now what?

You just... talk. No special syntax. No commands to memorise. No tool names to remember. 274 tools with descriptions rich enough that any halfway decent AI can figure out which one to use from plain English. Describe what you want and let the AI sort it out.

How to Talk to It

You don't need to know tool names or API parameters. The AI translates your intent into the right calls:

Don't say thisSay this instead
"Call fluentcart_order_list with per_page=10""Show me the latest 10 orders"
"Use fluentcart_product_create with type digital""Create a new digital product called Pro License"
"Execute fluentcart_coupon_create""Make a 20% off coupon code"

The AI picks the right tool, fills in the parameters, and calls the MCP server. You'll see it working — most clients show which tools are being called in real time.

Specificity Wins

"Show me orders" works. "Show me pending orders from the last 7 days sorted by total, highest first" works better. The more context you give, the more precise the results. Every tool schema accepts useful filters — help the AI use them.

Example Prompts by Category

Organised by the things people actually ask. Pick a section, steal a prompt, adjust to taste.

Tips Worth Knowing

Give it IDs when you have them

The AI can't guess which order you mean. "Show me order #1234" is instant. "Show me that order from yesterday" requires the AI to search, filter, and hope for the best.

Chain requests

You can absolutely ask for multiple things at once:

  • "Find customer jane@example.com, show her order history, and create a 10% loyalty coupon for her"

The AI will call multiple tools in sequence. It's surprisingly good at this.

Ask for analysis, not just data

The tools return raw data, but the AI can interpret it:

  • "Summarise this week's sales performance"
  • "Compare this month's revenue to last month and tell me if we're on track"
  • "Which of my top 10 products had declining sales this month?"

The MCP provides the data. The AI provides the insight. Division of labour.

Describe support scenarios

Rather than issuing individual commands, describe the whole situation:

  • "Customer john@example.com says he was charged twice. Check his recent orders and see if there's a duplicate."
  • "Customer wants to upgrade from Basic to Pro. What subscriptions do they have and what are the options?"

The AI will investigate, call the right tools, and report back.

Don't overthink the setup

Shipping zones and tax rates sound intimidating, but the AI handles the complexity. Just say "set up 23% VAT for Poland" or "add flat-rate shipping for Europe at €5" — the AI maps your intent to the right fields. You're not filling in a tax form, you're having a conversation.

What It Can't Do

274 tools is a lot, but let's not get delusional. There are limits:

Can't DoWhy
Charge credit cardsPayments require customer interaction (redirects, card forms). The MCP server can mark orders as paid, but it can't process payments.
Send arbitrary emailsThe MCP manages email templates and notification settings, but can't compose and fire off a one-off email to a customer. That's not what the API does.
Edit checkout pagesThat's frontend work — HTML/CSS/JS. Not API territory.
Touch other WordPress dataThe MCP server only talks to FluentCart endpoints. It can't read your blog posts, other plugins, or WordPress users directly.

A Note About Money

FluentCart stores all monetary values in the smallest currency unit. Cents for USD/EUR, grosze for PLN, pence for GBP. This means:

  • $49.99 is stored as 4999
  • €100.00 is stored as 10000
  • 40.00 PLN is stored as 4000

The AI usually converts these when presenting results to you. But if you see numbers that look 100x too large, that's why. When creating products or coupons, just say the human amount — "price it at $49" — and the AI will handle the conversion. The currency format is documented in every tool description precisely so the AI gets this right.
