HubSpot Commerce MCP server

Create a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for HubSpot Commerce to automate orders, payments, invoices, and subscriptions through an AI agent. This integration enables teams to manage commerce operations across your entire HubSpot ecosystem with enterprise-grade security.

Setting up an MCP server

This article covers the standard steps for creating an MCP server in AI Gateway and connecting it to an AI client. The steps are the same for every integration — application-specific details (API credentials, OAuth endpoints, and scopes) are covered in the Authentication section on this page.

Before you begin

You'll need:

• Access to AI Gateway with permission to create MCP servers.
• API credentials for the application you're connecting (see the Authentication section on this page for what to collect).

Create an MCP server

Find the app in the catalog

1. Sign in to AI Gateway and select App Catalog from the left navigation.
2. Search for the application you want to connect, then select it from the catalog.
3. Select Create MCP Server to start the wizard.

App Configuration

Confirm the Base URL for the API, then, under Tools, select the endpoints you want to expose. Select Next.

MCP Server Setup

1. Enter a Name for your server — something descriptive that identifies both the application and its purpose.
2. Enter a Description so your team knows what the server is for.
3. Set the log level: choose Production Mode for terser logs, or Non-Production Mode for more verbose logs that can help with debugging.
4. Select Next.

Authentication

Enter the authentication details for the application. This varies by service — see the Authentication section on this page for the specific credentials, OAuth URLs, and scopes to use.

Review

Look over the summary of your MCP server configuration, then select Create & Deploy. AI Gateway provisions the server and provides a server URL you'll use when configuring your AI client.

Connect to an AI client

Once your server is deployed, you'll need to add it to the AI client your team uses. Select your client for setup instructions:

• Claude Desktop
• Claude Code
• Cursor
• VS Code
• Windsurf

Tips

• You can create multiple MCP servers for the same application — for example, a read-only server for reporting agents and a read-write server for automation workflows.
• If you're unsure which OAuth scopes to request, start with the minimum read-only set and add write scopes only when needed. Most application pages include scope recommendations.

Authentication

HubSpot Commerce uses OAuth 2. Create an app in HubSpot's developer portal to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret. In HubSpot, go to Settings > Integrations > Private Apps and create a private app to get your credentials.

Value	Setting
Auth endpoint	https://app.hubspot.com/oauth/authorize
Token endpoint	https://api.hubapi.com/oauth/v1/token
Scopes	crm.objects.orders.read, crm.objects.commercepayments.write

Available tools

These tools let AI agents read and manage orders, shopping carts, payments, invoices, and subscriptions. Together they enable automating the full commerce lifecycle—from order creation through payment processing and subscription renewals.

Create order	Create a new order with line items and customer details
Update order	Modify order amount, currency, or other properties
Delete order	Remove an order from the system
List carts	View shopping carts by status or customer
Create cart	Start a new cart for a customer
Update cart	Add items, change currency, or modify contents
Delete cart	Clear an abandoned or completed cart
List payments	Retrieve payment records with status filters
Create payment	Process a payment for an order or subscription
Update payment	Change payment status or details
Delete payment	Remove a payment record
List invoices	Find invoices by customer, date, or status
Create invoice	Generate an invoice for a customer or order
Update invoice	Modify invoice currency or other properties
Delete invoice	Remove an invoice
List subscriptions	View all active and inactive subscriptions
Create subscription	Set up a new subscription with billing interval
Update subscription	Change subscription plan or billing details
Delete subscription	Cancel a subscription

Tips

Use order creation and update tools to automate fulfillment workflows triggered by external events—for example, automatically creating orders when payment is confirmed.

Implement automatic retry logic for failed payments by querying payment status and creating new payment records for customers with pending balances.

Automatically generate invoices after orders are completed, then use update tools to mark them paid when payment confirmation arrives.

Monitor subscription renewal dates and handle payment failures gracefully by updating subscription status and notifying customers before they're charged.

Design workflows that detect customer location and adjust cart currency automatically to improve conversion rates, since the commerce tools support currency conversion.
