The Beard Club is a men's grooming and beard-care brand selling beard oils, balms, washes, aftershave, grooming kits, trimmers, and subscription grooming boxes through its Shopify-powered online store at thebeardclub.com. Beyond the consumer storefront, the store is agent-commerce ready: it implements the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP 2026-04-08) with a native Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint at /api/ucp/mcp, a machine-readable /llms.txt and /agents.md, UCP service discovery at /.well-known/ucp, Shopify Customer Account OpenID Connect authentication, and read-only product and collection JSON endpoints — so AI shopping assistants can search the catalog, build carts, and complete buyer-approved checkouts programmatically.
