Release notes December 2025

During this period we have had end-of-year bank holidays, during which releases were paused.

Notable features

New AI Section in documentation

We have added a new section in docs.norce.io where all our AI functionality will be documented. We have started this journey strong this month with two MCP Servers that you can use right now.

AI Section

New Norce Commerce MCP Server

Currently only release to Multi-tenant environments. Customers that have an enterprise/single-tenant environment will need to wait until January.

We start small and opinionated: product search + product detail + cart operations - enough to build conversational shopping and B2B procurement assistants without rewriting your stack. But it's built for real commerce, not demos: multi-tenant by design, secured with the same OAuth2 flow you already use, and governed by existing applications/permissions.

The intended use case is for solution partners and DIY customers to build conversation-based shopping agents that can integrate seamlessly into the webshop UI.

Early Q1 we will be following this up with some SDK-tools and reference implementations of agents that use LLM and the Norce Commerce MCP, but the MCP Server is already available for anyone wanting to start early!

Use AI Assistant as an MCP Server

For customers and partners that already have started to use our AI Assistant for getting help, you can now also connect to it using the Model Context Protocol. This enables you to have access to all our knowledge base from your own preferred AI enabled tools, like GitHub Copilot, Claude or ChatGPT.
