In short
5 other platforms sit beside WooCommerce in the matrix, each with a sourced difference. Among them Shopify reads furthest along with 1 live or pilot cell. WooCommerce lists MCP as beta and UCP and ACP as coming soon, while its private-beta WooCommerce AI extension can expose a store's UCP services.
