Pacvue Launches MCP Server for Commerce Media AI Access
Pacvue announced the launch of its MCP server, making commerce media reporting data accessible to enterprise AI tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Report MCP, the first capability available, lets brands and agencies pull Pacvue advertising reports across retail and marketplace platforms (Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, Kroger, Target, Sam’s Club, Chewy, DoorDash, eBay, Bol, Mercado Libre, Criteo, Citrus, and others) directly from AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, and Claude using plain-language requests. Pacvue built MCP compatibility into its existing platform so existing report types, permissions, and data access remain intact. Report MCP is generally available now; Pacvue says additional MCP capabilities are in development. Sunava Dutta, Pacvue’s Chief Product Officer, framed the server as a secure way for AI assistants and enterprise workflows to interact with commerce media reporting data.

AI Agents Automate Merchandising and Vendor Negotiations
Retailers and retail-technology vendors are deploying AI agents to automate merchandising tasks—such as assortment planning, demand forecasting, inventory management, invoice reconciliation and supplier negotiations—reducing manual work and reshaping merchant roles. Startups and vendors named in the article include Duvo.ai, Gain, Relex Solutions, Pactum, Crisp and Zenline AI; Relex and Crisp supply merchandising and demand-prediction tools, while Duvo.ai and Gain offer negotiation and "digital co-worker" agents that can read supplier emails and respond or negotiate on a retailer’s behalf. Major retailers have built or announced similar tools (Walmart’s GenAI assistant Wally; Target’s Trend Brain). Vendors and executives in the piece emphasise a human-in-the-loop approach while noting potential operational and labour impacts as trust in autonomous agents grows. Several vendors cited European and Middle Eastern pilots and expansion plans into the U.S.
