In this session, I demonstrated how I transform screenshots from a PDF catalogue into published WooCommerce products — dramatically reducing manual data entry and speeding up the entire workflow.

Here’s what we covered:

• Using the WordPress MCP server @automattic/mcp-wordpress-remote.
• Exploring WooCommerce MCP capabilities (documentation and code).
• Building and registering custom MCP capabilities (documentation).
• Writing effective prompts/skills for the Claude agent (documentation).
• The (many!) challenges I faced during development.
• How to stay up to date with AI developments in WordPress and WooCommerce.

The session combined real-world lessons learned with a practical demonstration at the end. Beyond the technical setup, I shared the unexpected hurdles and small breakthroughs that made the system actually work in production.

It was a fantastic discussion with developers and other professionals who are curious about where AI is taking our ecosystem — especially within e-commerce workflows.

A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation. It’s exciting to see how quickly AI is becoming part of our everyday WordPress toolkit.

• Here are the slides I used in the talk.

The work included creating a PHP script to handle the content conversion. In the meetup, I detail how I built this script. Watch the video recording of my presentation, while going through the presentation.
