AdaptableOperable Business appWeb app Deterministic PHPJavaScript MCP server License: MIT

Open-source e-commerce framework on Symfony with a full admin, storefront, and API Platform REST API.

Sylius Plus is the paid closed edition.

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
I need B2B or multi-channel commerce on PHP and expect to customize templates and resources

Gotchas

Admin MCP needs Sylius 2.1 or 2.2, Symfony 7.4, an RSA keypair, and ROLE_API_ACCESS on the admin user
On Sylius 2.2.x a symfony/type-info patch must be applied for the admin MCP plugin to warm its cache
The listed repo is the core; you scaffold from sylius/sylius-standard

Adaptable: what is yours to change

Make it yours

Light edit19 things to edit

Projects start from sylius/sylius-standard, so the surface is Symfony's: .env for database, mailer, JWT keys, and messenger transports, then config/packages/*.yaml for Sylius settings. The MCP plugins add their own SYLIUS_ADMIN_MCP_SERVER_* and SYLIUS_MCP_SERVER_* variables. Real adaptation (templates, custom resources) is small Twig and YAML edits in a project you own; the core stays a Composer dependency.

Operable: what an agent can drive

Interface

OfficialMCP serverpublished by the builderlocal

How an agent can drive an Operable Listing, in five levels: native (built for the agent as the primary interface), official (the Builder ships an agent interface), wrapped (a third party wraps the software's API), config (an agent can only drive it by editing files), gui (screen control only). An interface is official only when it is published by the same organization that ships the software. GUI-level Listings are allowed and sorted last.
