Ministry of Supply

Ministry of Supply is a Boston-based performance apparel company founded in 2011 out of MIT, engineering technical dress shirts, pants, suits, knitwear and outerwear for work, travel and commuting using temperature-regulating, wrinkle-resistant and stretch-recovery fabrics. It sells direct to consumer from a Shopify storefront at ministryofsupply.com. Its API surface is not a developer program but an agentic commerce surface: the store publishes an agents.md / llms.txt instruction document, a Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) merchant profile at /.well-known/ucp, and a live, anonymously-callable Model Context Protocol endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp exposing thirteen catalog, cart, checkout and order tools with full JSON Schema inputs, plus Shopify customer-account OpenID Connect discovery documents. Checkout requires contemporaneous human approval; complete_checkout requires an idempotency key.

Ministry of Supply publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Apparel, Retail, E-Commerce, and Direct to Consumer.

Ministry of Supply’s developer surface includes documentation, authentication, support, engineering blog, and 19 more developer resources.
