the core lives in aimeos/aimeos-core and other packages ## Medusa TypeScript commerce modules configured in medusa-config.ts, with complete Admin and Store REST APIs. - Listing: apps/medusajs--medusa.html - JSON: apps/medusajs--medusa.json - License: MIT (Enterprise Edition materials under ENTERPRISE-LICENSE.md) - Agent interface: API, from the builder - Reach: 9 of 9 jobs - Last activity: 2026-09-02 - Effort: light-edit - Use it when: I am building a DTC or B2B backend in TypeScript and want commerce primitives I can compose rather than a monolith - Use it when: my agent should run the store through a documented REST API and learn the framework from the Builder's own skills - Gotcha: No storefront in the core; the Next.js starter is a separate repo - Gotcha: GitHub shows NOASSERTION because Enterprise Edition materials carry a separate license inside the repo - Gotcha: The agent-skills MCP reads documentation only; it does not operate a store ## Shopware 6 Symfony and Vue commerce platform with a complete Admin API and an official CLI that ships agent skills. - Listing: apps/shopware--shopware.html - JSON: apps/shopware--shopware.json - License: MIT - Agent interface: API, from the builder - Reach: 8 of 9 jobs - Last activity: 2026-09-02 - Effort: light-edit - Agent cannot reach: Paid edition features (Rise/Evolve/Beyond) - Use it when: I need a serious European B2C or B2B shop with a plugin ecosystem, and I will host it myself - Use it when: my agent should run the store through the Admin API and handle deployments with the official CLI - Gotcha: Contributions require signing the Shopware CLA - Gotcha: Pricing page could not be fetched;

store operations go through the CLI or REST - Gotcha: Auto-minted local keys are read_all only; write scopes need an explicit key - Gotcha: Needs Node 22+ and Docker for the quickstart ## Sylius Symfony commerce framework with official admin (171 tools) and shop MCP server plugins. - Listing: apps/sylius--sylius.html - JSON: apps/sylius--sylius.json - License: MIT - Agent interface: MCP server, from the builder - Reach: 7 of 9 jobs - Last activity: 2026-09-02 - Effort: light-edit - Agent cannot reach: Sylius Plus features (B2B suite, OnePageCheckout) - Use it when: I run an agency and want a Symfony store whose admin my client's agent can operate over MCP with proper OAuth - Use it when: I need B2B or multi-channel commerce on PHP and expect to customize templates and resources - Gotcha: Admin MCP needs Sylius 2.1 or 2.2, Symfony 7.4, an RSA keypair, and ROLE_API_ACCESS on the admin user - Gotcha: On Sylius 2.2.x a symfony/type-info patch must be applied for the admin MCP plugin to warm its cache - Gotcha: The listed repo is the core;
