Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the API2Cart to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the API2Cart, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapi2cart.com%2Fapi2cart" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fapi2cart.com%2Fapi2cart" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use API2Cart API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Sync products across multiple shopping carts

Merchants and tools that span several store platforms need one way to keep catalogs consistent. API2Cart reads and writes product data through a single interface, so an integration can push the same product update to a Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce store without writing platform-specific code for each.

Read a product from one connected store and create the same product in another connected store.

Aggregate orders from every connected store

Back-office tools need a consolidated view of orders no matter where a sale happened. API2Cart lists and reads orders across all linked stores through one call format, letting an integration collect recent orders and their line items regardless of the underlying platform.

List orders created in the last day across all connected stores and read the line items for each.

Onboard a new merchant store

Before any data flows, a merchant's store must be connected. API2Cart links a store from its platform credentials, confirms which platform it is, and reports the operations and webhooks that store supports, so an onboarding flow can verify a connection end to end.

Connect a store with its platform credentials and confirm the connection by listing its supported operations.

Let an agent manage catalogs across platforms

An AI agent that maintains merchant catalogs can work across every platform at once through API2Cart. It reads current products and categories, applies updates, and registers webhooks for changes. Through Jentic the agent discovers these operations by intent and runs them under the integration's own credentials.

Given a product change, find the matching product in each connected store and apply the update.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Integrating API2Cart yourself means juggling two keys, the store-linking step, and the per-platform quirks each cart hides behind its unified calls. With Jentic you install once, import the API from the Directory, and store your keys a single time.

Permission scoping

Running Jentic in your own instance, you decide which API2Cart operations the agent may call, so you can allow product and order reads while blocking writes or store changes. Access is granted per operation.

Credential isolation

Your API2Cart keys are held encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected only when an operation runs, so they never appear in the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents find API2Cart through Jentic's intent search: a request like list products from a store or create an order resolves to the right operation with inputs and auth prepared.

FAQs

Specific to using API2Cart API through Jentic.

Is there an MCP server for the API2Cart API?

You do not need a dedicated MCP server. Through Jentic your self-hosted agent can call API2Cart operations directly by intent, so you connect the API without maintaining separate MCP tooling.

Can I control what my agent is allowed to do with the API2Cart API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic yourself, you choose which API2Cart operations your agent can call, so you can allow product and order reads while withholding writes or store connections. Scoping is applied per operation.

What authentication does the API2Cart API use?

API2Cart uses two keys. Your account key travels in the `x-api-key` header, and the key identifying a specific connected store travels in the `x-store-key` header. Jentic injects both from your stored credentials when a call runs.

Which e-commerce platforms does API2Cart cover?

API2Cart connects to many shopping cart and marketplace platforms behind one interface, and the account operations report the current list of supported platforms so an agent can confirm coverage before it connects a store.

Does API2Cart process payments or host storefronts?

No. It reads and writes catalog, order, and customer data on stores that already exist. Payment capture and storefront hosting stay with the underlying platform, not with these endpoints.

How does an agent discover API2Cart operations in Jentic?

The agent searches Jentic by intent, such as listing products from a store or creating an order, and Jentic returns the matching API2Cart operations ready to run under your credentials.

For Agents

Lets an AI agent read and write products, orders, categories, and customers across many e-commerce platforms through API2Cart's single unified interface.

Use for: I need to list products from a connected Shopify or Magento store, Add a new product to a merchant's store through API2Cart, Fetch recent orders across all connected stores, Create a customer record in a linked store

Not supported: Does not process payments, host storefronts, or manage shipping carriers; use it to read and write catalog, order, and customer data across connected e-commerce platforms only.

The API2Cart API gives developers a single integration to dozens of shopping cart and marketplace platforms. It reads and writes products, categories, orders, and customers across connected stores through one unified request format, and reports which platforms and webhooks each account supports. A store is linked once with a store key, after which the same calls work regardless of the underlying cart.
