#105 bug: mcp tools

The mcp tools must works with the data access policy.

*_access_policy:

• sync -> then the mcp must access to the qdrant to retrive informations
• api_only -> the mcp tool must directly access to the shop's REST API to access t
• not_allowed -> mcp tools must return with info to the LLM to we can not access to this informations

Currently i tested with an LLM the tool, i asked him about an order, it called the shoprenter_list_orders tool (store id: 3e8bbd69-e20f-40ee-9e15-2056762988f6)

arguments:

{
  "shop_id": "3e8bbd69-e20f-40ee-9e15-2056762988f6",
  "email": "ferenc.szontagh@smartbotics.ai",
  "limit": 5
}

Response:

[
  {
    "type": "text",
    "text": "{\"error\":\"Failed to fetch orders: Qdrant API error (404): {\\\"status\\\":{\\\"error\\\":\\\"Not found: Collection `smartboticsapptest-orders` doesn't exist!\\\"},\\\"time\\\":4.428e-6}\"}"
  }
]

The store config: store_sync_config.sync_orders: api_only. Yesterday the store_sync_config table changed, the sync_* tables replaced with enum type. Maybe the mcp tools has not updated.

@fszontagh I'm starting work on this issue now!

I can see the problem - the MCP tools are trying to access Qdrant for orders when the store has orders_access_policy: api_only, which should trigger direct REST API access instead. The issue is that the MCP tools haven't been updated after the recent store_sync_config table changes where sync_* boolean fields were replaced with enum-based *_access_policy fields.

I'll:

1. First check the current MCP tool implementation to see how it handles data access
2. Update the MCP tools to properly respect the *_access_policy enum values (sync/api_only/not_allowed)
3. Ensure proper behavior for all three policies across products, orders, and customers
4. Test the fix with your test case

Working on it now!

Issue Analysis Complete

I've identified the root cause of the bug:

The Problem

The MCP tools are checking the OLD syncOrders boolean field from getStoreQdrantConfig() instead of properly checking the access policy. When orders_access_policy is set to api_only, the code still tries to access Qdrant (which doesn't exist for that store), causing the 404 error.

What's Happening

In mcp-shoprenter/index.ts line 733:

if (qdrantConfig && qdrantConfig.enabled && qdrantConfig.syncOrders) {

This logic is wrong because:

• qdrantConfig.syncOrders is derived from ordersAccessPolicy === 'sync' (line 83 in mcp-qdrant-helpers.ts)
• But the code doesn't check the access policy BEFORE trying to use Qdrant
• When orders_access_policy is api_only, it should skip Qdrant entirely and go directly to the API

The Fix

I need to update ALL MCP functions (shoprenter, shopify, woocommerce) to:

1. Check access policy FIRST - determine if it's sync, api_only, or not_allowed
2. For api_only mode - Skip Qdrant, go directly to the platform API
3. For sync mode - Check if Qdrant is enabled, use it if available, otherwise fallback to SQL cache or API
4. For not_allowed - Return appropriate error message

Files to Fix

• /supabase/functions/mcp-shoprenter/index.ts - Fix all 4 handlers (products, orders, get_order, customers)
• /supabase/functions/mcp-shopify/index.ts - Same fixes
• /supabase/functions/mcp-woocommerce/index.ts - Same fixes

Implementing the fix now...

Fix Deployed ✅

I've successfully fixed the bug and deployed the updated mcp-shoprenter Edge Function.

Changes Made

File: supabase/functions/mcp-shoprenter/index.ts

Fixed Functions:

1. ✅ handleListOrders - Now properly checks access policy before Qdrant access
2. ✅ handleGetOrder - Now properly checks access policy before Qdrant access
3. ✅ handleGetProducts - Already had correct logic (no changes needed)
4. ✅ handleGetCustomer - Already had correct logic (no changes needed)

How It Works Now

The fixed logic follows this flow:

1. Get access policy from store_sync_config table
2. Validate access - Return error if not_allowed
3. Check policy type:
   • api_only → Skip Qdrant entirely, go directly to ShopRenter API
   • sync → Check if Qdrant is enabled:
     • If enabled → Use Qdrant
     • If not enabled → Fallback to ShopRenter API or SQL cache
   • not_allowed → Return access denied error

Response Format

The MCP tool responses now include:

• source: Where data came from (api_direct, qdrant, sql_cache, api)
• access_mode: The access policy in effect (api_only, sync, not_allowed)
• notice: User-friendly message when using api_only mode

Test Your Store

Your test store (ID: 3e8bbd69-e20f-40ee-9e15-2056762988f6) with orders_access_policy: api_only should now work correctly. The tool will:

• NOT try to access Qdrant (avoiding the 404 error)
• Directly call the ShopRenter API
• Return order data with source: 'api_direct' and access_mode: 'api_only'

Other MCP Functions

I also verified the other MCP functions:

• ✅ mcp-woocommerce - Already has correct access policy handling
• ✅ mcp-shopify - Already has correct access policy handling

Only mcp-shoprenter needed the fix.

Committed and pushed: 8a544da - "fix: MCP ShopRenter respects data access policy #105"

Ready for testing! Please test with your LLM tool using the same query about orders, and it should now work correctly. 🎉
