name: Chord
description: 'Chord is a New York / Santa Barbara-based commerce data and AI platform founded in 2021 by Bryan Mahoney (CEO)
  and Henry Davis (President & Chairman), both former Glossier executives. Chord began as a headless commerce backbone built
  on top of Solidus — the open-source Spree Commerce fork written in Ruby on Rails — and has since evolved into an AI-native
  commerce data platform with three layers: a Data Foundation that unifies sources such as Shopify, ad platforms, and CDPs;
  a Context Stack that grounds AI in store-specific business context; and a set of Agents that take action across the commerce
  stack. Its current product surface includes Chord OMS (a Solidus-based order management system covering orders, products,
  promotions, subscriptions, affiliates, gift cards, returns, shipping, tax, and digital products documented at chord.stoplight.io),
  Chord CDP (customer data platform with identity resolution, RFM scoring, customer lifetime revenue, and destination activations),
  Chord Event Tracking (client- and server-side eventing with Shopify Web Pixel integration and consent management via OneTrust
  and Shopify Customer Privacy API), Chord Data Platform (analytics, predictive modeling, attribution, recommendations, Fivetran
  ingestion, GA4 compatibility), and Chord AI / Copilot Chat, powered by Anthropic Claude (Opus 4.5 for SQL generation, Haiku
  4.5 for response generation and classification) with charts, monitors, context modeling, and natural-language data querying.
  Chord''s GitHub org (github.com/chordcommerce) maintains a fleet of Solidus extensions (solidus_stripe, solidus_braintree,
  solidus_paypal_braintree, solidus_subscriptions, solidus_virtual_gift_card, solidus_importer, solidus_avatax_certified),
  a consent-manager TypeScript library, a Jitsu fork for event ingestion, and example repos for eventing and analytics. Notable
  customers include Sonos, Blue Bottle Coffee, Rodan + Fields, MrBeast, and Ritual. Funding has come from M13 Ventures, Equal
  Ventures, Act One Ventures, Chingona Ventures, and CEAS Investments, with an $18M Series A reported by TechCrunch in 2021.
  The commercial model is sales-led with custom enterprise pricing gated behind a demo request.'

- name: Chord MCP
  description: Chord's hosted Model Context Protocol server — a remote, OAuth-protected, read-only window into a customer's
    Chord data warehouse. Fourteen documented tools cover schema search, saved views, prior question/SQL pairs, org SQL conventions,
    table preview, read-only SQL execution, activation/sync health, and multi-tenant routing across the Chord organizations
    the authenticated user belongs to. Registered in Claude via Custom Connectors, via Chord's own Claude Code plugin, or
    through the mcp-remote bridge; tools/list is auth-gated behind OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration against
    Chord's Stytch-backed authorization server.

- name: Chord CDP Ingest API
  description: 'The HTTP ingest surface of the Chord customer data platform. Backend systems POST track and identify events
    to /api/track and /api/identify, authenticated with a per-source write key (X-Write-Key header preferred). Chord publishes
    a full canonical event catalog — order, shipment, subscription and user server events plus a browser tracking plan — and
    documents its delivery semantics unusually thoroughly: at-least-once delivery, a stable messageId carried end to end,
    exponential-backoff retries and a dead-letter queue. Ingest is deliberately permissive: the tracking plan is a convention,
    not a schema validator, and custom events pass through unmodified.'

  description: Read API for activated audiences. Once the Dynamic Audiences API destination is enabled on an account, a sync
    mirrors a custom audience into the API and a server-side GET on /audiences returns that user's audience memberships with
    their attached attributes. Keyed by the CDP Blended User ID passed in the Chord-User-Id header and authenticated with
    a bearer token issued by Chord. Intended for on-site personalization; Chord's docs state it must always be called server-side.
