Anthropic open-sources a commerce agent blueprint with three runtimes and merchant approval gates
The anthropics/commerce-agents reference implementation is at 1.1k stars and 174 forks under Apache 2.0. It pairs a customer-facing shopping agent (search, cart, order tracking, preference memory) with a back-office merchant agent (pricing, inventory, listing maintenance, campaign drafting), each implemented three ways: raw Messages API turn loop, Claude Agent SDK, and hosted Managed Agents with MCP servers. Four worked verticals ship (retail, travel, telecom, entertainment) along with fencing and provenance gates, memory validation and tool-call verification across all three execution paths.
