Going MCP-native across developer tooling and customer-support analytics in the same week.

◆Current state
VTEX is shipping AI-native surfaces across two distinct directions at once: a Developer MCP plus 42 AI Skills for platform development, and a CX Platform MCP server that lets AI assistants query customer-support analytics. Underneath, the Delivery Promise stack is being componentized for headless storefronts and Store Framework themes, with breaking dependency changes for migrators. Routine infra hygiene continues — Node.js version selection in WebOps, GitHub Enterprise support, VTEX IO Builder lifecycle statuses with retirements of Node 3.x/4.x and Dotnet 0.x/1.x.
◆Where it's heading
The platform is positioning itself as the ecommerce surface AI agents use rather than just operate around. Two MCPs shipped within days establish that pattern on both the build side (developer tooling) and the run side (CX analytics). In parallel, the storefront stack is consolidating around Delivery Promise as the canonical delivery/pickup primitive, with the older shipping-option components being retired.
◆Prediction
Expect more MCP servers covering additional VTEX domains — likely Catalog, Orders, and Logistics — and for the Skills catalog to broaden beyond developer use cases into merchandising and operations. Delivery Promise components will graduate from beta and become the default expected primitive in storefront documentation.

    FastStore WebOps gains Node.js version selector

    FastStore WebOps now exposes the Node.js runtime version per project, with v24 as the default for new projects. This is groundwork for FastStore v4, which is built on Next.js 16 and requires the newer runtime — clearing the migration path safely.

    ⚡ SPARK

    VTEX Developer MCP plus 42 AI Skills across six tracks land together as the platform's AI-assisted development surface. This is the most directional ship in the window — it makes VTEX legible to coding assistants and codifies platform best practices as installable agent skills.

    DeprecatedStore Framework: Shipping Option Components deprecated in favor of Delivery Promise ComponentsToday

    vtex.shipping-option-components is deprecated in favor of vtex.delivery-promise-components, which splits the single header block into shopper-location-setter, shipping-method-selector, and pickup-point-selector. Breaking change for theme dependencies, props, and CSS handles — but the new modular structure makes Delivery Promise the canonical primitive in Store Framework.

    AddedFastStore WebOps: Support for GitHub Enterprise accounts with a custom domainApril 2, 2026

    FastStore WebOps onboarding now connects to GitHub Enterprise instances on custom domains. Removes a known blocker for enterprise customers running their own GitHub deployments and is a prerequisite for those teams to use the platform's managed build pipeline.
