Self-hosted Saleor MCP alternatives
Saleor's MCP server runs as a hosted endpoint. There is no build you install and run yourself, so the server process lives on Saleor's side even though Saleor Commerce itself can be self-hosted. If you need the MCP process and credentials on your own machine, you need a different server.
Every server below installs locally over stdio. One manages commerce data; the rest are payment gateways. Self-hosting controls where the process and keys live, though store and payment actions still hit each provider's API, and the notes mark each pick's job.

How to choose
Since Saleor's server is hosted-only, the self-hosted route means a different server. WooCommerce is the closest for commerce data and, unlike Saleor's read-only server, it writes. BigCommerce and Shopify are local dev-doc servers for building integrations. Razorpay, Square, Paddle, Adyen, and Mercado Pago handle the payment side from a local process. Self-hosting keeps the process and keys local; store and payment actions still reach each provider's API.
